6 Meaning of baseline emissions
(1) The baseline emissions for an implementation are the energy emissions and industrial process emissions produced by equipment within the original boundary for the implementation.
Note: Energy emissions or industrial process emissions, or both, that are impractical or disproportionally costly to measure may be excluded under section 43.
(2) However, if electricity generated at the site of the implementation is consumed by equipment within the original boundary for the implementation, only one of the following, as chosen by the project proponent, is part of baseline emissions for the implementation:
(a) emissions from the electricity generated at the site consumed by the equipment worked out using the relevant electricity emissions factor;
(b) emissions from the fuel used to generate that electricity.
