Calculating CO 2 received.
Cite as 40 C.F.R. § 98.473 (2026)
(a) You must calculate and report the annual mass of CO 2 received by pipeline using the procedures in paragraphs (a)(1) or (a)(2) of this section and the procedures in paragraph (a)(3) of this section, if applicable. (1) For a mass flow meter, you must calculate the total annual mass of CO 2 in a CO 2 stream received in metric tons by multiplying the mass flow by the CO 2 concentration in the flow, according to Equation UU-1 of this section. You must collect these data quarterly. Mass flow and concentration data measurements must be made in accordance with § 98.474. where: CO 2T,r = Net annual mass of CO 2 received through flow meter r (metric tons). Q r,p = Quarterly mass flow through a receiving flow meter r in quarter p (metric tons). S r,p = Quarterly mass flow through a receiving flow meter r that is redelivered to another facility without being injected into your well in quarter p (metric tons). C CO2,p,r = Quarterly CO 2 concentration measurement in flow for flow meter r in quarter p (wt. percent CO 2 , expressed as a decimal fraction). p = Quarter of the year. r = Receiving flow meter. (2) For a volumetric flow meter, you must calculate the total annual mass of CO 2 in a CO 2 stream received in metric tons by multiplying the volumetric flow at standard conditions by the CO 2 concentration in the flow and the density of CO 2 at standard conditions, according to Equation UU-2 of this section. You must collect these data quarterly. Volumetric flow and concentration data measurements must be made in accordance with § 98.474. where: CO 2T,r = Net annual mass of CO 2 received through flow meter r (metric tons). Q r,p = Quarterly volumetric flow through a receiving flow meter r in quarter p at standard conditions (standard cubic meters). S r,p = Quarterly volumetric flow through a receiving flow meter r that is redelivered to another facility without being injected into your well in quarter p (standard cubic meters). D = Density of CO 2 at standard conditions (metric tons per standard cubic meter): 0.0018682. C CO2,p,r = Quarterly CO 2 concentration measurement in flow for flow meter r in quarter p (vol. percent CO 2 , expressed as a decimal fraction). p = Quarter of the year. r = Receiving flow meter. (3) If you receive CO 2 through more than one flow meter, you must sum the mass of all CO 2 received in accordance with the procedure specified in Equation UU-3 of this section. where: CO 2 = Total net annual mass of CO 2 received (metric tons). CO 2T,r = Net annual mass of CO 2 received (metric tons) as calculated in Equation UU-1 or UU-2 for flow meter r. r = Receiving flow meter. (b) You must calculate and report the annual mass of CO 2 received in containers using the procedures specified in either paragraph (b)(1) or (b)(2) of this section. (1) If you are measuring the mass of contents in a container under the provisions of § 98.474(a)(2)(i), you must calculate the CO 2 received in containers using Equation UU-1 of this section. where: CO 2T,r = Annual mass of CO 2 received in containers r (metric tons). C CO2,p,r = Quarterly CO 2 concentration measurement of contents in containers r in quarter p (wt. percent CO 2 , expressed as a decimal fraction). Q r,p = Quarterly mass of contents in containers r in quarter p (metric tons). S r,p = Quarterly mass of contents in containers r that is redelivered to another facility without being injected into your well in quarter p (standard cubic meters). p = Quarter of the year. r = Containers. (2) If you are measuring the volume of contents in a container under the provisions of § 98.474(a)(2)(ii), you must calculate the CO 2 received in containers using Equation UU-2 of this section. where: CO 2T,r = Annual mass of CO 2 received in containers r (metric tons). C CO2,p,r = Quarterly CO 2 concentration measurement of contents in containers r in quarter p (vol. percent CO 2 , expressed as a decimal fraction). S r,p = Quarterly volume of contents in containers r that is redelivered to another facility without being injected into your well in quarter p (standard cubic meters). Q r,p = Quarterly volume of contents in containers r in quarter p (standard cubic meters). D = Density of the CO 2 received in containers at standard conditions (metric tons per standard cubic meter): 0.0018682. p = Quarter of the year. r = Containers.
