(1)

Regulations 4 and 8 are deemed to have come into force on 1 January 2018.

(2)

The rest of these regulations come into force on 1 January 2019.

Revoke regulations 7D to 7F and the cross-heading above regulation 7D.

5 New regulations 7D to 7F and cross-heading inserted

After regulation 7C, insert:

Production of liquid carbon dioxide for export

7D Application of regulations 7E and 7F

A person must comply with regulations 7E and 7F if—

(a)

the person, in any year, is a participant under section 54(1)(b) of the Act in relation to an embedding activity; and

(b)

the embedding activity carried out by the person is producing liquid carbon dioxide that is exported.

7E Collection of information for purpose of calculating removals from producing liquid carbon dioxide for export

Information must be collected about—

(a)

the total number of tonnes of liquid carbon dioxide exported in that year that was produced by the person; and

(b)

if the person wishes to submit a return for a period other than a year under section 66 of the Act, the total number of tonnes of liquid carbon dioxide exported in the other period that was produced by the person.

7F Method of calculating removals by exporting liquid carbon dioxide

Removals in relation to liquid carbon dioxide exported by the person in the year or other period covered by an emissions return must be calculated in accordance with the following formula:

R = A x 1

where—

A: is the total number of tonnes of liquid carbon dioxide produced by the person covered by the emissions return, as recorded under regulation 7E
R: is the removals in tonnes from the exportation of liquid carbon dioxide for the year or other return period covered by the emissions return.

Explanatory note

This note is not part of the regulations, but is intended to indicate their general effect.

These regulations make changes to 3 sets of regulations made under the Climate Change Response Act 1992 (the Act) to update and clarify certain matters underpinning New Zealand’s emissions trading scheme.

Part 1 (regulations 3 to 5) amends the Climate Change (Other Removal Activities) Regulations 2009. The amendments—

revoke regulations 7D to 7F, which prescribe requirements in relation to collecting information about, and calculating removals of, natural gasoline. The amendment is deemed to have come into force on 1 January 2018 (as contemplated by section 163(3) of the Act):
insert new regulations 7D to 7F, which come into force on 1 January 2019, and prescribe requirements in relation to collecting information about, and calculating removals of, liquid carbon dioxide.

Part 2 (regulations 6 to 8) amends the Climate Change (Stationary Energy and Industrial Processes) Regulations 2009. The amendments—

update the default emissions factors prescribed in table 7 of Schedule 2 for combusting used tyres for energy (see regulation 7(1)):
replace table 10 of Schedule 2, which relates to the emissions factors for gas fields, to reflect changes in greenhouse gas emissions associated with natural gas use (see regulation 7(2)):
increase the global warming potential figure prescribed in table 2 of Schedule 2A for R448A (see regulation 8).

The amendments in regulation 7 come into force on 1 January 2019 and the amendment in regulation 8 is deemed to have come into force on 1 January 2018 (as contemplated by section 163(3) of the Act).

Part 3, which comes into force on 1 January 2019, amends the Climate Change (Synthetic Greenhouse Gas Levies) Regulations 2013, which relate to the synthetic greenhouse gas levy imposed by section 227 of the Act. The amendments—

replace regulation 10, which specifies the price of carbon, to specify the price for the 2019 levy year; and
update Schedule 1, which prescribes levy rates for leviable motor vehicles, to prescribe new levy rates; and
replace Schedule 2, which prescribes levy rates for leviable goods, to prescribe new levy rates and expand the class of leviable goods specified in item 14 to include water coolers containing synthetic greenhouse gas HFC134a to ensure that imports of these goods are consistent with the emissions pricing of other imports of goods containing synthetic greenhouse gases.
