Note
This expzanatory note does notform apart of the Greenhouse Gas Emissions Permit,
This Greenhouse Gas Emissions Permit authorises the holder to undertake named activities
resulting in emissions of specified greenhouse gasesfrom the listed emission points. It also contains
requirements that must be met in respect of such emissions, including monitoring and reporting
requirements. Allowances for emissions to air of greenhouse gases are allocated through the
National Allocation Plan. This Greenhouse Gas Emissions Permit places an obligation on the
Operator to surrender allowances to the Agency equal to the annual reportable emissions of carbon
dioxide equivalent from the installation in each calendar year, no later than four months after the
end of each such year. The holders of Greenhouse Gas Emissions Permits may buy and/or sell such
allowances subject to the proper notification to the Registry Manager.
