3.  For the purposes of paragraph 2—

(a) is the efficiency of the plant in which the heat is generated, calculated as where—

(i)H is the heat produced by the plant in the form of liquid or steam from all fuels used in that plant; and

(ii)F is the energy content of all those fuels;

(b) is the efficiency of the plant in which electricity is generated, calculated as where—

(i)A is the total amount of electricity generated by the plant from all the fuels used by that plant; and

(ii)F is the energy content of all those fuels;

(c) is equal to—

(i)where the temperature (T) is less than 423 kelvin, 0.3546; and

(ii)in any other case, , where T is the temperature measured in kelvin of the heat produced by the plant in the form of liquid or steam;

(d)E is the greenhouse gas emissions expressed in grammes of CO2 eq per MJ of heat produced, from the production of the biomass, biogas or biomethane and calculated—

(i)using the actual value method in the case of participants producing biomethane for injection or using heat for a process in an accredited RHI installation with an installation capacity of 1MWth or above; or

(ii)in all other cases, using the actual value method or the default value method.
