27  On‑site facility abatement
 (1) Subject to subsections (2), (3) and (4), the on‑site facility abatement for a facility for an NGER reporting year, in tonnes CO2‑e, is worked out using the formula (equation 4):
where:
AF means the on‑site facility abatement, in tonnes CO2‑e.
ECB means:
 (a) if the crediting baseline (general) for the facility must be worked out under section 30 for the NGER reporting year—the crediting baseline (general), in tonnes CO2‑e, worked out using equation 6; or
 (b) otherwise—zero.
ENGER,r means:
 (a) if the NGER emissions (general) for the facility must be worked out under section 44 for the NGER reporting year—the NGER emissions (general), in tonnes CO2‑e, worked out using equation 16; or
 (b) otherwise—zero.
ECB,Elec means:
 (a) if the crediting baseline (electricity) for the facility must be worked out under section 31 for the NGER reporting year—the crediting baseline (electricity), in tonnes CO2‑e, worked out using equation 7; or
 (b) otherwise—zero.
EElec,NGER,r means:
 (a) if the NGER emissions (electricity) for the facility must be worked out under section 45 for the NGER reporting year—the NGER emissions (electricity), in tonnes CO2‑e, worked out using equation 17; or
 (b) otherwise—zero.
 (2) The on‑site facility abatement for the facility for an NGER reporting year is taken to be zero if:
 (a) the amount worked out under subsection (1) for the NGER reporting year is less than zero; and
 (b) neither Subdivision A nor Subdivision B of Division 7 applies to the facility for the NGER reporting year.
Note 1: Subdivision A of Division 7 applies to a facility for an NGER reporting year if electricity is a production variable for the facility and additional electricity is exported from the facility during the NGER reporting year as a result of project abatement activities that improve the thermal efficiency of existing generating units at the facility.
Note 2: Subdivision B of Division 7 applies to a facility for an NGER reporting year if electricity generated using new generating units at the facility is exported from the facility during the NGER reporting year (whether or not electricity is a production variable for the facility).
 (3) The on‑site facility abatement for the facility for an NGER reporting year in a reporting period is taken to be zero if:
 (a) the project proponent has, under section 17, chosen an input or intermediate product, or similar inputs or similar intermediate products, to be the production variable for the facility; and
 (b) either:
 (i) the outputs that are produced by the facility using the input or intermediate product, or similar inputs or similar intermediate products, are not produced in a fixed proportion to the input or intermediate product, or to each similar input or similar
