41  Recalculating because of an input or output purity change
 (1) If this Subdivision applies because one or more input or output purity changes occur during the calculation year, the baseline emissions intensity of a production variable for the baseline year must be recalculated as follows:
 (a) adjust the baseline NGER emissions attributable to production variable n in the baseline year using equation 15; and
 (b) use the adjusted baseline NGER emissions attributable to production variable n in the baseline year to recalculate the emissions intensity of the variable for the baseline year using equation 8.
 (2) The baseline NGER emissions attributable to production variable n in the baseline year is to be adjusted using the formula (equation 15):
where:
EAdj,n means the adjusted emissions apportioned to production variable n during the baseline year, in tonnes CO2‑e.
En,b means the emissions apportioned to production variable n during the baseline year, in tonnes CO2‑e, worked out using equation 10.
Pn means the lesser of:
 (a) the change in processing factor for production variable n during the baseline year, worked out in accordance with subsection (3); and
 (b) 1.5.
 (3) The change in processing factor for production variable n during the baseline year, to take account of the input or output purity changes, is to be worked out using an approach that:
 (a) is specific to the production process used by the facility; and
 (b) is based on documented historical evidence, including data for the facility, of the relationship between the input or output purity changes and greenhouse gas emissions from the facility; and
 (c) can be shown to accurately reflect the change in greenhouse gas emissions from the facility resulting from the input or output purity changes; and
 (d) takes into account all the relevant variables within the facility that may cause a change in the emissions intensity of production variable n as a result of the input or output purity changes; and
 (e) is independent of any changes at the facility that are not input or output purity changes; and
 (f) is credible, robust and conservative with respect to any effect on project abatement.
