33  Baseline emissions intensity and baseline year
 (1) The baseline emissions intensity of a production variable, in tonnes CO2‑e per unit of the variable produced or processed, and the baseline year for the variable are worked out as follows:
 (a) in accordance with Subdivision B, calculate the emissions intensity of the production variable for each NGER reporting year in the project's baseline period;
 (b) identify the lowest emissions intensity of the production variable and the NGER reporting year to which it relates.
 (2) Subject to subsection (3), the lowest emissions intensity of the production variable is the baseline emissions intensity of the variable, and the NGER reporting year to which the lowest emissions intensity relates is the baseline year.
 (3) If Subdivision C applies to the baseline emissions intensity of a production variable:
 (a) the baseline emissions intensity must be recalculated in accordance with that Subdivision; and
 (b) if either or both of sections 40 and 41 are used for the recalculation—the baseline emissions intensity of the variable is the baseline emissions intensity as recalculated under those sections; and
 (c) if section 42 is used for the recalculation—the lowest emissions intensity of the production variable as identified under that section is the baseline emissions intensity of the variable and the NGER reporting year to which that lowest emissions intensity relates is the baseline year.
