Part 40         Production of glass beads

Division 1       Production of glass beads

716         Production of glass beads

                The production of glass beads is the physical and chemical transformation of either or both of the following:

                (a)    recycled materials (such as cullet);

               (b)    all of the following:

                          (i)    silicon dioxide (SiO 2 , silica);

                         (ii)    sodium carbonate (Na 2 CO 3 , soda ash);

                        (iii)    any other raw materials;

through a crushing, sieving and firing process into saleable, solid, spherical glass beads where the refractive index is at least 1.50 and the size is smaller than 2 millimetres.

Division 2       Classification of activity

717         Classification of activity

                The production of glass beads is a highly emissions-intensive activity.

Division 3       Electricity baseline for calculating partial exemption

718         Electricity baseline for product

                The electricity baseline for calculating the amount of a liable entity's partial exemption in respect of the production of solid glass beads is 0.400 MWh per tonne of solid glass beads on a dry weight basis that:

                (a)    have a refractive index of at least 1.50; and

               (b)    have a size smaller than 2 millimetres; and

                (c)    are produced by carrying on the emissions-intensive trade-exposed activity; and

               (d)    are of saleable quality.

Note     Saleable quality is defined in regulation 22C .

Part 41         Production of sodium silicate glass

Division 1       Production of sodium silicate glass

719         Production of sodium silicate glass

                The production of sodium silicate glass is the physical and chemical transformation of silicon dioxide (SiO 2 , silica) and sodium carbonate (Na 2 CO 3 , soda ash) into saleable sodium silicate glass where the concentration of sodium silicate (Na 2 SiO 3 ) is at least 99% with respect to mass.

Division 2       Classification of activity

720         Classification of activity

                The production of sodium silicate glass is a highly emissions-intensive activity.

Division 3       Electricity baseline for calculating partial exemption

721         Electricity baseline for product

                The electricity baseline for calculating the amount of a liable entity's partial exemption in respect of the production of sodium silicate glass is 0.0205 MWh per tonne of sodium silicate glass on a dry weight basis that:

                (a)    has a concentration of sodium silicate (Na 2 SiO 3 ) that is at least 99% with respect to mass; and

               (b)    is produced by carrying on the emissions-intensive trade-exposed activity; and

                (c)    is of saleable quality.

Note     Saleable quality is defined in regulation 22C .

Division 1       Production of polymer grade propene (polymer grade propylene)

722         Production of polymer grade propene (polymer grade propylene)

                The production of polymer grade propene (C 3 H 6 , polymer grade propylene) is the physical transformation of hydrocarbons that have a concentration of propene (C 3 H 6 , propylene) between 45% and 85% with respect to mass (inclusive) to polymer grade propene (polymer grade propylene) that has a concentration of propene (propylene) of at least 98% with respect to mass.

Division 2       Classification of activity

723         Classification of activity

                The production of polymer grade propene (C 3 H 6 , polymer grade propylene) is a highly emissions-intensive activity.

Division 3       Electricity baseline for calculating partial exemption

724         Electricity baseline for product

                The electricity baseline for calculating the amount of a liable entity's partial exemption in respect of the production of polymer grade propene (C 3 H 6 , polymer grade propylene) is 0.220 MWh per tonne of 100% equivalent propene contained within polymer grade propene (C 3 H 6 , propylene) that:

                (a)    has a concentration of propene that is at least 98% with respect to mass; and

               (b)    is produced by carrying on the emissions-intensive trade-exposed activity.
