Proposal for a regulation
Article 2 – paragraph 1 – point 13 a (new)
Article 2 – paragraph 1 – point 13 a (new)
(13 a) ‘quantification’ means operations to determine the quantity of methane emissions, based on direct measurements, engineering calculations, simulations, models, or estimation through generic or specific emission factors.
Amendment 398 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 12 – paragraph 2
Article 12 – paragraph 2
2. By … [24 months from the date of entry into force of this Regulation], operators shall also submit a report to the competent authorities containing direct measurementsquantification of source-level methane emissions for operated assets. Reporting at such level may involve the use of source- level measurement and sampling as the basis for establishing specific emission factors used for emissions estimationWhen emission factors are used, the quantification shall involve specific emission factors.
Amendment 415 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 12 – paragraph 3 – subparagraph 1
Article 12 – paragraph 3 – subparagraph 1
By … [36 months from the date of entry into force of this Regulation] and by 30 March every year thereafter, operators shall submit a report to the competent authorities containing direct measurementsquantification of source-level methane emissions for operated assets referred to in paragraph 2, complemented by measurements of site- level methane emissions, thereby allowing assessment and verification of the source- level estimates aggregated by site. If the technologies for site-level measurement do not reach satisfactory technology readiness levels or market availability an operator can request the competent authority to postpone site-level measurements by one year.
Amendment 491 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 12 – paragraph 8
Article 12 – paragraph 8
8. In the case of significant discrepancies between the emissions quantified using source-level methods and those resulting from site-level measurement, additional measurements shall be carried ouoperators shall provide reasoning for the discrepancy. If the discrepancy is not due to the technological limits of employed quantification methods, the competent authority may request an additional measurement within the same reporting period.

Proposal for a regulation
Article 20 – paragraph 3
Article 20 – paragraph 3
3. As regards surface coal mines, mine operators shall use deposit-specific coal mine methane emission factors to quantify emissions resulting from mining operations. Mine operators shall establish those emission factors on a quarterlyn annual basis, in accordance with appropriate scientific standards and take into account methane emissions from surrounding strata.
