Division 7 The product-related historical activity level for the baseline period for products to which the synthesis gas (syngas) product benchmark as referred to in Annex I applies shall be determined according to the following formula:

United Kingdom

{HAL}_{syngas} = ARITHMETIC MEAN ({HAL}_{H 2 + CO,k} \times (1 - \frac{0,47 - {VF}_{H 2, k}}{0,0863}) \times 0,0007047 \frac{t}{{Nm}^{3}})

whereby:

HAL_syngas

historical activity level for synthesis gas production referred to 47 % hydrogen

VF_H2,k

historical production volume fraction of pure hydrogen in the total volume of hydrogen and carbon monoxide in year k of the baseline period

HAL_{H2 + CO,k}

historical activity level for synthesis gas production referred to historical hydrogen content expressed as norm cubic meters per year referring to 0 °C and 101,325 kPa in year k of the baseline period
