(4) For the purposes of this section, a person mentioned in subsection 2 (1) may, in quantifying tonnes of CO2e generated in a reporting period, deduct all of the carbon dioxide generated from the sources mentioned in subsection 2 (1) at a facility where the carbon dioxide is generated from the combustion of biomass.
4. The Regulation is amended by adding the following section:
Additional information
5.1 (1) This section applies to a person if the person is required to ensure that an emissions report is submitted under subsection 5 (1) in respect of a facility.

2. Subject to subsection (4), a report described in subsection (5),
i. that sets out tonnes of CO2e generated from all sources mentioned in subsection 2 (1) at the facility, quantified in accordance with subsections 4 (1), (2) and (3), and
ii. that is prepared based on information that is in the custody or control of the person or to which the person has, or reasonably can obtain, access.
(4) If the Director requests a report mentioned in paragraph 2 of subsection (3) but the person mentioned in subsection (1) is unable to quantify in accordance with subsection (3), the quantifications may be made,
(a) using the best alternative quantification methods set out in the Guideline for the sources; or
(b) using a quantification method that is consented to by the Director in writing.
(5) A report mentioned in paragraph 2 of subsection (3) shall identify the means of quantification used, the data used in the quantification, the results of the quantification and any other information specified by the Director that is related to the application of the standard quantification methods mentioned in subsections 4 (1), (2) and (3).
