  • 6.1. The iterative calculation is a 'special alternative measurement' as referred to in Chapter 5, which shall comply with all the points mentioned in Chapter 5.

  • 6.2. The supplied energy from the fuel is often not measured accurately. If, for this reason, the manufacturer uses an alternative method of measurement as described in Chapter 5, the Minister will check the quantity declared and the calorific value of the fuel by means of the 6.3 calculation. This calculation is to be carried out in accordance with the standard EN 12952-15:2003.

    With:

    QB = the energy supplied with the fuel

    QN = the energy generated by the boiler

    QRG = loss of energy from the flue gases

    QF = the energy that has been carried off with the fly and boiler shaft

    QS = lose the energy that has been taken from the snail

    QSTR = loss of energy acting by radiation

    QCO = the energy loss due to incomplete combustion

    Qaid = the operation of auxiliary machinery within the system boundary

    Energy

    In order to permit the control by the Minister, the above quantities should be reported in a manageable and insightful manner in the monthly measurement reports verified by the authorised measurement company. In addition, the following must be seen: the quantities entered into the measuring bridge and stored in the bunker, how these quantities are distributed among the AVI units and to what extent the inventory differences in the bunker the quantities that are fed to the AVI units, determine.

  • 6.4. For the above calculation, the following standards shall apply:

Comments on the declaration of the fuels that have been put to the market

In practice, the scheme appears to be complex matter in relation to biomass. This document contains an explanation of the format of the annual statement to be made and the biomass classification to be applied, type of installations and the requirements to be met by the assurance report.

Biomass: Pure, to her/his nature pure or not pure

On the basis of the scheme, biomass is classified in pure and not pure. Pure biomass does not contain more than three mass non-unavoidable plastics.

Pure biomass: A more detailed breakdown

Pure biomass can be divided into two groups: 1) By its nature pure and 2) not by its nature pure. For biogases is spoken about respectively to his nature purely and not to his nature pure. The definition of pure biomass in its nature is included in Article 1, first paragraph, of the Arrangement of Guarantees of Origin for Energy from Renewable Sources and HR-CHP Electricity.

Non-pure biomass

Non-pure biomass is also referred to as mixing streams in the scheme. It should be sampled (according to BRL-K10016). The extent to which the biogenic part contributes to energy generation is to be determined. This means that the calorific share of the biogenic part should be determined in proportion to the total calorific value.

Biogases

The following types of biogases are considered to be purely pure: Stortgas, sewage treatment gas, wastewater treatment gas and biogas produced by means of digestion. For other biogas types, it is necessary to establish whether it is pure biogas. For this purpose, the basic material from which the biogas is produced shall be sampled.

Biomass used

In the case of renewable heat, producers in addition to the species used should also report on the quantity of biomass fuels specified in NTA codes. In the case of biogas used, it should be reported on the type of biomass compound from which the biogas is produced.

Insurance Report Sample


1. Introduction

This document is intended as a guide to the annual insurance policy audit. This document contains an introduction to an overview of biomass layout, type of installations, requirements to which the insurance report must comply and some instructions for the production of renewable gas with biogas from co-fermenting of animal waste manure or biogas from the fermentation of fruit, vegetable and garden waste and the production of renewable gas with landfill gas or biogas from waste water or sewage treatment plants.

In addition to the introduction, a protocol setting out the instructions for the chartered accountant (formal) has been included. It is the intention of the auditor to apply the protocol and that the insurance report refers to the protocol in question. It is intended that an insurance report should be submitted annually.

The Minister for Economic Affairs has authorised the issue of guarantees of origin for gas from renewable energy sources to Vertogas. Data must be provided to Vertogas wherever our minister is mentioned in this Protocol.


2. Biomass: 'Pure', 'to her/his nature pure', 'not pure'

As a starting point, the criteria for biomass as laid down in the NTA 8003 can be used.

Insurance Report Background

Monthly measurement data shall be sent to the Minister by the measurement company or the regional network administrator for each producer of renewable gas.

The final checks on the green percentages will be carried out annually by means of an insurance audit. Any differences arising out of the audit are then corrected by the Minister.

Deadline for submission

At the end of a calendar year, renewable gas producers will have a 4-month period to produce an insurance report. It is therefore necessary to submit an insurance report to the Minister by 1 May and 1 at the latest for production in calendar year t.

Audit Auditor

Finally, the auditor should verify that the producer of renewable gas has acted in accordance with the biomass declaration and biomass registrations submitted at the time for the relevant calendar year. In the biomass declaration, the producer indicated at the time the possible substances that could be used. The auditor should check that the biomass put in place is also mentioned in the biomass declaration.

Statement + table

A certified table. This table contains the green percentages at the monthly level drawn up by the manufacturer and verified by the auditor. In order for the Minister to be able to carry out a good consistency check, underlying data are required. In this respect, quantities of biomass (tonnes) and associated calorific values should be considered.


3. Control Protocol Insurance Report Biomass

Introduction

Article 17 (2) of the Conditions of Origin of Energy for Energy from Renewable Energy Sources and HR-CHP Electricity provides that the producer shall submit to the Minister an insurance report within four months of the end of each calendar year. on the use of biomass only, as referred to in Article 14 of the guarantee of origin for energy from renewable energy sources and HR-CHP electricity.

The purpose of this control protocol is to provide a means of giving guidance to the auditor when it comes to the establishment of its audit in accordance with the principles set out in Article 17 (3) of the Code of Origin for Energy renewable energy sources and HR-CHP electricity. These concerns, which are not exhaustive, should be considered in conjunction with the guidelines for insurance control as promulgated by the Nivra.

The purpose of the insurance report is to arrive at a reasonable degree of assurance as to the accuracy of the ratio of biomass used in the plant to be used by the producer (or his authorised representative). On the basis of the findings as reflected in the insurance report, the expression (part of) of the production or non-classification of the production as from renewable energy sources is a matter of fact. In the case of gas produced in the case of gas from renewable energy sources, guarantees of origin will be made by the Minister according to the number of MWh produced from renewable energy sources. These represent a value and are negotiable in the case of the gas that works up to natural gas quality. In the case of biogas, these guarantees of origin will be granted a fixed destination for which they can be booked and therefore will not be freely negotiable.

Procedure

At the end of a month, a measurement message (ball message) shall be sent by the network operator to the Minister who shall report on the total production of gas from renewable energy sources of that month. This measurement message shall contain at least the amount of gas supplied to the grid, but if the producer so requests, it shall also contain the total gas generated. The minister conducts this data in the system through an external web-based application. At the end of the calendar year, the producer shall carry out a verification calculation and shall definitively determine the ratio of the fuel used in the installation. The insurance control is the closing piece in this process.

Role of the auditor

The auditor

  • • verifies the accuracy of the results of the ratio definitively determined by the producer,

  • • determines whether the ratio is the same or different from the ratio as it was placed in the system by the producer,

  • • determines whether compliance with Articles 15 (4) and 16 of the Conditions of Origin for Energy from Renewable Energy Sources and HR-CHP Electricity (the 'Biotechnology Declaration') has been acted upon;

  • • determines, in so far as it relates to the calculation of the relationship, applied correctly. The appropriate method ('sampling ') should be applied if there is biomass or biogas which is not' to its/her nature pure '. According to Article 16 of the Arrangement on guarantees of origin for energy from renewable energy sources and HR-CHP electricity, a method is appropriate if the BRL-K10016 or similar process standards are met.

The auditor shall report on the results of the abovementioned checks and on any other results of the audit work of the auditor (report of findings). If it is found that the producer has not acted in accordance with the declarations submitted, the relevant quantity of gas shall be considered as not coming from renewable energy sources.

Control tolerance/reliability

The reporting on the ratio of the biomass processed should be accurate to a maximum of hundredths of percentages. The control tolerance imputed to the individual rules of the reporting shall be a maximum of one-hundredth part of the responsible percentage. Insurance control shall be directed to obtain a reasonable degree of assurance that this tolerance is not exceeded.

Considerations

In any event, the auditor shall establish:

  • 1. which biomass has been incorporated into the installation, the ratio in which it has been processed and whether this ratio can indeed lead to the renewable gas rates specified by the producer or his authorised representative. The auditor shall use the appropriate energy balance of the installation in question, based on sufficiently substantiated standards and correct and fully established measurement and installation data. If an appropriate method is to be applied, the auditor shall verify that proper application has been given to the appropriate method.

  • 2. that the nature of biomass processed in the installation is in line with biomass as included in the biomass declaration.

  • (3) that there is a system of internal control measures, whether automated or non-automatic, with the producer, in design, existence and in operation, to which a high degree of security is to be established that the ratio given does not contain any material errors Common interest. At least in this system there is a conclusive movement of goods of the biomass. If an appropriate method has been applied for determining whether the material used in the plant can be considered as pure biomass, the auditor shall establish that this method has been correctly applied. Where, during the period covered by the reporting period, the producer has consulted a new biomass certificate, the auditor shall establish that both the previous and the subsequent declaration (s) are in accordance with the requirements of the relevant information and/or the subsequent declaration of the certificate. This is the act. An audit can therefore include several biomass declarations, but always includes the same period of a calendar year.

  • 4. that there is emphan emphasis by the auditor on the presence of a natural gas connection.

At least in this system there is a conclusive movement of goods of the biomass. If an appropriate method has been applied for determining whether the material used in the plant can be considered as pure biomass, the auditor shall establish that this method has been correctly applied. Where, during the period covered by the reporting period, the producer has consulted a new biomass certificate, the auditor shall establish that both the previous and the subsequent declaration (s) are in accordance with the requirements of the relevant information and/or the subsequent declaration of the certificate. This is the act.

A assarance control can therefore include multiple biomass declarations, but always includes the same period of a calendar year.

Reporting of the ratio

In case the number of fuel species (according to the NTA codes) is more than six, rules may be added. In the reporting period, the letters A through D are added. The classification is relevant for the acquisition of appropriate type of guarantees of origin.

  • (A) is the starting point for official definitions in the Gas Act and the Arrangement guarantees of origin for energy from renewable energy sources and HR-CHP electricity

  • (b) is the (further) classification in pure and not pure

  • C) is the classification which is relevant to the control method to be used to determine the degree of purity or the biogenic part

  • (D) a further detail of the subsidy (SDE) is given.
