All provisions · All instruments

actual emissions — the emissions calculated based on primary data from the production processes of goods and from the production of electricity consumed during those processes as determined in accordance with the methods set out in Annex IV (28)
Attributed emissions — the part of the installation’s emissions during the reporting period that are caused by the production process resulting in goods g when applying the system boundaries of the production process defined by the implementing acts adopted pursuant to Article 7(7). The attributed emissions shall be calculated using the following equation: Where: are the direct emissions, resulting from the production process, expressed in tonnes of CO2e, within the system boundaries referred to in the implementing act adopted pursuant to Article 7(7), and are the indirect emissions resulting from the production of electricity consumed in the production processes of goods, expressed in tonnes of CO2e, within the system boundaries referred to in the implementing act adopted pursuant to Article 7(7). 3. DETERMINATION OF ACTUAL EMBEDDED EMISSIONS FOR COMPLEX GOODS For determining the specific actual embedded emissions of complex goods produced in a given installation, the following equation is to be applied: Where: are the attributed emissions of goods g, is the activity level of the goods, being the quantity of goods produced in the reporting period in that installation, and are the embedded emissions of… ANNEX IV
