Baseline Emissions

Definition

Baseline Emissions is an estimate of GHG Emissions, removals, or storage associated with a Baseline Scenario.

Baseline emissions associated with primary effects are derived from either a GHG Baseline Scenario or a performance standard.

Baseline emissions associated with secondary effects will be linked to the project-specific baseline scenario. If the performance standard procedure is used, baseline emissions associated with secondary effects are inferred from baseline candidates or are estimated conservatively.
