This section describes how to use the Greenhouse gas Emissions Model (GEM) to show compliance with the CO2 standards of §§ 1037.105 and 1037.106 . Use GEM version 2.0.1 to demonstrate compliance with Phase 1 standards; use GEM Phase 2, Version 4.0 to demonstrate compliance with Phase 2 and Phase 3 standards (both incorporated by reference, see § 1037.810 ). Use good engineering judgment when demonstrating compliance using GEM.
