Check AMS-II.F energy intensity criterion

AMS-II.F requires that project activities deliver measurable reductions in specific energy consumption for the agricultural service or product. This helper compares baseline and project total energy use relative to an output proxy (e.g. tonnes of grain processed, litres of milk cooled, or area irrigated) and verifies that the fractional reduction exceeds a configurable tolerance. be present in both datasets. required to satisfy the criterion. Defaults to 10 the tolerance threshold.
