15  Implementation of activities that aim to reduce emissions from a facility
 (1) The project must implement one or more project abatement activities at one or more facilities.
 (2) Each facility must meet the following requirements:
 (a) the facility is identified in the application made under section 22 of the Act in relation to the project;
 (b) NGER reports about the operation of the facility during the project's baseline period are provided to the Regulator no later than the first 31 October after the end of the project's baseline period;
 (c) the facility has, after the end of the project's baseline period, one or more production variables;
 (ca) information that demonstrates that all of the facility's production variables were used or produced at the facility in every NGER reporting year of the project's baseline period is provided to the Regulator no later than with the first offsets report;
 (d) the facility did not undergo a major change during the project's baseline period before the date of the relevant application under section 22 of the Act, and does not undergo a major change on or after that day until the last day of the project's baseline period;
 (e) the project proponent has, at the time of preparation of the first offsets report for the project, relevant NGER facility level emissions data, and production variable data, for each NGER reporting year in the project's baseline period;
 (f) the facility is not a transport facility;
 (g) the facility is not a facility to which another facilities project relates;
 (h) the facility does not use biomass that is not an eligible renewable energy source to produce energy;
 (i) the facility does not import off‑grid electricity generated from biomass that is not an eligible renewable energy source;
 (j) the facility does not import heat or cooling generated from biomass that is not an eligible renewable energy source.
 (3) NGER reports relating to the operation of each facility during the project's baseline period or a reporting period for the project must not include amounts for a facility that have been aggregated with amounts for another facility under regulation 4.25 of the NGER Regulations.
 (4) The project abatement activities must not be ineligible abatement activities for the project.
Note: If a facility to which the project relates involves an ineligible abatement activity, the abatement resulting from the activity must be excluded from the total facility abatement for the project by using the adjusted on‑site facility abatement, instead of the on‑site facility abatement, for the facility to calculate the total facility abatement (see sections 26 and 28).
 (5) The project must not involve the implementation of a project abatement activity that is expected to:
 (a) result in abatement
