17  Choosing production variables for facilities—inputs and intermediate products
 (1) If:
 (a) an input or an intermediate product is used to produce a facility's outputs; and
 (b) the input or intermediate product meets the requirements set out in subsection (5); and
 (c) no other input or intermediate product that meets the requirements set out in subsection (5) is used to produce any of the facility's outputs;
the project proponent may choose the input, or the intermediate product, to be the production variable for the facility instead of the facility's output variables.
Note: The input, or the intermediate product, chosen under this subsection will be the only production variable for the facility.

Multiple inputs and intermediate products
 (2) If:
 (a) 2 or more inputs, or 2 or more intermediate products, are used to produce all of a facility's outputs; and
 (b) the inputs or intermediate products are used in a fixed proportion to each other during the project's baseline period; and
 (c) the inputs or intermediate products meet the requirements set out in subsection (5);
the project proponent may choose one of the inputs or intermediate products to be the production variable for the facility instead of the facility's output variables.
Note: The input or intermediate product chosen under this subsection will be the only production variable for the facility.
 (3) Of the inputs or intermediate products that may be chosen under subsection (2), the project proponent must choose the one that is reasonably considered to have made the largest contribution to the facility's emissions during the baseline period.

Similar inputs and similar intermediate products
 (4) If:
 (a) 2 or more inputs or 2 or more intermediate products are used to produce all of a facility's outputs; and
 (b) 2 or more of the inputs (the similar inputs), or 2 or more of the intermediate products (the similar intermediate products), can be quantified using the same unit of measurement; and
 (c) the emissions per unit of each similar input, or similar intermediate product, used are materially similar; and
 (d) the similar inputs, or similar intermediate products, meet the requirements set out in subsection (5);
the project proponent may choose the similar inputs, or similar intermediate products, to be a single production variable for the facility instead of the facility's output variables.
Note: The similar inputs, or similar intermediate products, chosen to be a single production variable under this subsection will be the only production variable for the facility.

Requirements that must be met
 (5) An input, or an intermediate product, that is used by a facility to produce multiple outputs meets the requirements set out in this subsection if:
 (a) either:
 (i) the outputs are produced in a fixed proportion to
