29  Baseline emissions rate for a sub-unit (ERB,i)
Calculation of daily baseline emissions rate
 (1) The daily baseline emissions rate for the ith sub-unit of the project, ERB,i is given by the following equation (equation 2):

  where, for the ith sub-unit of the project:
m is a type of fuel consumed by the sub-unit in the baseline period.
n is a type of greenhouse gas emitted by the sub-unit in the baseline period due to fuel combustion.
 is the amount, of fuel type m consumed by the sub-unit during the baseline period, converted to gigajoules using an energy content factor that is in accordance with the NGER (Measurement) Determination.
EFm,n is the emissions factor for greenhouse gas type n released due to the combustion of fuel type m, in kilograms CO2‑e per gigajoule, specified for that combination of fuel type and greenhouse gas type in Schedule 1 to the NGER (Measurement) Determination.
 is the electricity consumption by the sub-unit during the baseline period, in kilowatt hours.
EFEl is:
 (a) for electricity obtained from an electricity grid that is a grid for which the NGA Factors document in force on the declaration day includes an emissions factor—that factor, in kilograms CO2‑e per kilowatt hour; or
 (b) for electricity obtained from an electricity grid not covered by paragraph (a) or from a source other than an electricity grid:
 (i) if the supplier of the electricity is able to provide an emissions factor that reflects the emissions intensity of the electricity and is applicable on the declaration day—that factor, in kilograms CO2‑e per kilowatt hour; or
 (ii) otherwise—the emissions factor, in kilograms CO2‑e per kilowatt hour, for off‑grid electricity included in the NGA Factors document in force on the declaration day.
 is the number of days in the baseline period for the sub-unit.
ADJI is the adjustment factor for the sub-unit. This depends on the ratio Ri given by equation 3 (subsection (2)), and is:
 (a) Ri, for Ri < 1; and
 (b) 1 for Ri ≥ 1.
Note: If the rate of output during the project measurement period is lower than during the baseline period, the baseline emissions rate used in abatement calculations is reduced in proportion.
Calculation of adjustment factor
 (2) The ratio Ri between the rates of output of the ith sub-unit during baseline period and the project measurement period is given by the following equation (equation 3):
  where, for the ith sub-unit of the project:
is the measured output over the baseline period.
is the measured output over the project measurement period.
is the number of days in the baseline period.
is the number of days in the project measurement period.
