1. Only list fuels that were purchased for the organization's own use, on which carbon tax was paid, and where that carbon tax was not
refunded or recovered from another party (e.g., through a lease arrangement). Also do not include any fuels that were exempted from
carbon tax (for more information on exemptions see the Carbon Tax Act and its Regulations)
2. Marketable Natural Gas may be recorded as either Gigajoules or m3
3. The information contained in this report is based on the data provided to the SMARTTool System at the date of generation. It is the
responsibility of the user to submit all data relevant to the reporting year prior to running this report.
4. Fuel usage displayed under “Units” is rounded to two decimal places but is not rounded in the tax calculations. This may cause the
“Carbon Tax Calculated” to differ by up to $0.01 if displayed values are used to test the calculation.
5. This form includes only REPORTED fuel usage and excludes all ESTIMATED fuel usage. This may cause the values displayed in
this form to differ from those in other exports and reports.

Notes:
1. In alignment with the international reporting requirements, biogenic emissions (BioCO2) from biomass combustion,
including wood, wood waste, ethanol, biodiesel and biomethane must be reported. However, SFU is only required to
purchase offset for the CH4 and N2O emissions from biomass combustion.
2. The Kamloops Campus is closed in 2011.
3. SFU only requires to report part of the emissions.
4. Values may not sum to total due to rounding. SFU may make adjustment to the value as required.
