National Environmental Management: Air Quality Act, 2004 (Act No. 39 of 2004)

The table below lists all activities, as defined in the ‘2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories’ source categories, where data providers must report greenhouse gas emissions and related activity data. The IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories may be accessed on the IPCC website - www.ipcc.ch.

A data provider shall report to the relevant greenhouse gases and associated activity data for all IPCC source categories where their capacity is equal or above the threshold indicated, using the methods indicated in column 3 of the table below. The Methodological Guidelines for Quantification of Greenhouse Gas Emissions stipulates the greenhouse gases relevant for each IPCC code.

Where no method is provided and the reporting threshold is reflected as “NA” (not applicable), reporting is not required.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1 Where thresholds are expressed in MW (th), these thresholds refer to a combined stationary combustion installation design capacity equal to or above 10 MW(th) net heat input. For example, the combined boiler design capacity for six (6) 2MW(th) boilers is equal to 12 MW(th), which is above the reporting threshold of 10MW(th). Therefore, the data provider has to report greenhouse gas emissions associated with stationary combustion in this case.

2 A YES implies that a data provider has to apply a tier 2 or tier 3 methodology for the relevant IPCC source code, after 5 years from the date of promulgation of these regulations

3 If the threshold for a specific IPCC source category in this table is reflected as none, it means that the data provider has to report activity data and greenhouse gas emissions, irrespective of the size of greenhouse gas emissions and the scale of the operation of the activity.
