on the project abatement for the project for an NGER reporting year during which the activity is in operation.
 (5) An abatement activity is ineligible for the project under this subsection if:
 (a) the amount by which the activity increases emissions outside the boundary of the facility is more than the amount by which the activity decreases emissions outside the boundary of the facility; and
 (b) were the activity to cause the same overall increase in emissions inside the boundary of the facility, the activity would, on its own or in combination with one or more activities of a kind mentioned in this subsection or subsection (3) or (4), have a material effect on the project abatement for the project for an NGER reporting year during which the activity is in operation; and
 (c) the activity is not an input or output purity change.
 (6) For the purposes of paragraph (5)(a), the following are not to be taken into account in determining whether the amount by which an activity increases emissions outside the boundary of a facility (the relevant facility) is more than the amount by which the activity decreases emissions outside the boundary of the relevant facility:
 (a) increases or decreases in emissions associated with:
 (i) the extraction, transportation, transmission or distribution of fuel to the relevant facility; or
 (ii) the production and installation of new equipment at the relevant facility; or
 (iii) the sale or other disposal of equipment removed from the relevant facility; or
 (iv) the transportation, transmission, distribution, storage, consumption or disposal, outside the relevant facility, of a production variable for the relevant facility; or
 (v) the disposal of waste from the relevant facility;
 (b) increases or decreases in emissions that occur at another facility as a result of changes in the importation or exportation of electricity, heat or cooling from the relevant facility, if the emissions are:
 (i) scope 1 emissions of a category mentioned in subsection 1.3(4) of the NGER (Measurement) Determination; or
 (ii) emissions associated with electricity consumption at the other facility; or
 (iii) emissions of a kind mentioned in paragraph (a) that occur at the other facility;
 (c) decreases in emissions that have, or will be, used to calculate:
 (i) the carbon dioxide equivalent net abatement amount for another eligible offsets project; or
 (ii) the abatement associated with an activity that would not meet the additionality requirements under subsection 27(4A) of the Act if the activity were implemented as a separate offsets project;
 (d) increases or decreases in emissions associated with the use of an eligible renewable energy source used by the relevant facility to produce a production variable, electricity, heat or cooling.
