Rules of monitoring and control of inventory count of greenhouse gases

1. General provisions

1. These rules of monitoring and control of inventory count of greenhouse gases (further - Rules) are developed according to the subitem 29) of article 17 of the Ecological code of the Republic of Kazakhstan of January 9, 2007 (further - the Code) and determine procedure for monitoring and control of inventory count of greenhouse gases.

2. Action of these rules extends to subjects of distribution of quotas for emissions of greenhouse gases.

3. In these rules the following concepts are used:

1) uncertainty (error) - the parameter associated with result of quantitative determination which characterizes dispersion of the values relating to quantity;

2) the operator of installation – the physical person or legal entity, in property or other legal use of which is installation;

3) oxidation coefficient - the multiplier used in case of combustion of fuel for accounting of incomplete transformation of carbon to carbon dioxide;

4) the plan of monitoring of emissions of greenhouse gases (further – the plan of monitoring) – the document developed by the operator of installation for action of the National plan of the distribution of quotas for emissions of greenhouse gases approved for the corresponding period or on project deadline and programs for emission reduction and increase in absorption of greenhouse gases;

5) coefficient calorific net - values - the multiplier used for transfer of the burned fuel in energy units which is expressed in terradzhoulyakh on ton of the burned fuel;

6) transformation coefficient - the multiplier used for accounting of incomplete transformation of carbon to greenhouse gases in industrial processes;

7) approval on greenhouse gases - the declaration or the actual and objective statement made by the operator of installation including within the annual inventory report of greenhouse gases;

8) this about activities for greenhouse gases - quantitative measure of organization activity of which emission of greenhouse gases is result;

9) monitoring of emissions of greenhouse gases - continuous or periodic assessment of amounts of emissions and removal of greenhouse gases or the accompanying data on greenhouse gases;

10) coefficient of emissions of greenhouse gases - the multiplier necessary for scoping of emissions of greenhouse gases on the basis of data on installation activities;

11) control of inventory count of greenhouse gases - activities of authorized body in the field of environmental protection (further - authorized body) according to results of inventory count of greenhouse gases and annual reports of operator of installation on compliance to requirements of article 94-11 of the Code and plans of monitoring;

12) assurance level – degree of accuracy of the data which is required from body for validation and verification in case of verification of the inventory report of greenhouse gases for identification in it material mistakes, omissions or wrong interpretation and compliance to Report forms about inventory count of greenhouse gases approved by the order of the acting minister of power industry of the Republic of Kazakhstan of July 28, 2015 No. 502 (It is registered in the Register of state registration of regulatory legal acts No. 11818).

4. Monitoring and control of inventory count of greenhouse gases at the level of installations are performed on emissions of carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, perfluorocarbon, at the same time their total amount is established in carbon dioxide ton equivalent.

5. When carrying out monitoring of greenhouse gases at the level of installations absorption of greenhouse gases is not considered by biomass of green plantings and other natural stores.

2. Procedure for monitoring of inventory count of greenhouse gases

6. The operator of installation develops and represents to authorized body the validirovanny plan of monitoring till April first of the first year of action of the National plan of the distribution of quotas for emissions of greenhouse gases approved for the corresponding period.

7. The operator of installation performs monitoring of greenhouse gases according to the plan of monitoring, validirovanny accredited body for validation and verification. Any variations from the plan of monitoring, the revealed mistakes in determination of amounts of emissions of greenhouse gases are fixed by the operator of installation in its internal documentation which is available to the accredited body on validation and verification performing verification of the inventory report of greenhouse gases.

8. The plan of monitoring is applied by the operator of installation during the entire period of action of the National plan of the distribution of quotas for emissions of greenhouse gases approved for the corresponding period.

9. The operator of installation makes changes to the plan of monitoring in the following cases:

1) transition from method of calculation of emissions of greenhouse gases to method of their measurement and vice versa;
