60  Synthetic fertiliser baseline B
 (1) If accounting for synthetic fertiliser emissions using synthetic fertiliser baseline B, the nitrous oxide emissions from synthetic fertiliser applied to a carbon estimation area during each year of the baseline emissions period must be calculated using the following formula, where the sum is over all synthetic fertiliser groups fij that have been defined in accordance with subsection 51(2):
  Equation SF1

      Where:

 =  total nitrous oxide emissions from synthetic fertiliser (SF) applied to carbon estimation area A during year B of the baseline emissions period; t CO2-e.
  =  quantity of synthetic fertiliser group fij applied to carbon estimation area A during year B of the baseline emissions period; t fertiliser.
 =  percentage nitrogen content of fertiliser (f) in synthetic fertiliser group fij, as provided by the manufacturer; t N / t fertiliser.
  =  default emission factor for synthetic fertiliser group fij, as set out in Tables 5 and 6 of the Standard Parameters and Emissions Factors; t CO2-e / t N.
 (2) The total emissions from fertiliser applied to each relevant carbon estimation area during each year of the baseline emissions period must be calculated using the following formula:
  Equation SF2

      Where:

 =  total emissions from synthetic fertiliser applied to carbon estimation area A during year B of the baseline emissions period; t CO2-e.
 =  total nitrous oxide emissions from synthetic fertiliser applied to carbon estimation area A during year B of the baseline emissions period; t CO2-e.
  =  quantity of urea applied to carbon estimation area A during year B of the baseline emissions period; t urea.
  =  National Inventory Report emission factor for carbon dioxide emissions from urea; t CO2-e / t urea.
 (3) The mean emissions from fertiliser applied to each relevant carbon estimation area during the baseline emissions period must be calculated using the following formula:
  Equation SF3

      Where:

  =  mean annual emissions from synthetic fertiliser applied to carbon estimation area A during the baseline emissions period; t CO2‑e / y.
 =  total emissions from synthetic fertiliser applied to carbon estimation area A during year B of the baseline emissions period; t CO2‑e / y.
 B =  year of the baseline emissions period being year 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5.
