Renewable Energy (Electricity) Regulations 2001

For the production of caustic calcined magnesia, the basis for calculating the amount of a liable entity’s exemption is 0.0757 MWh per tonne of caustic calcined magnesia on a dry weight basis that:

has a concentration of magnesium oxide (MgO) equal to or greater than 75%; and

is produced by, or as part of, carrying on the emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activity; and

is of saleable quality;

Saleable quality is defined in regulation 22C.

For the production of deadburned magnesia, the basis for calculating the amount of a liable entity’s exemption is 0.202 MWh per tonne of deadburned magnesia on a dry weight basis that:

has a concentration of magnesium oxide equal to or greater than 85%; and

has grain density of 2.85 g/cm³ to 3.45 g/cm³; and

is produced by carrying on the emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activity; and

is of saleable quality.

Saleable quality is defined in regulation 22C.

For the production of electrofused magnesia, the basis for calculating the amount of a liable entity’s exemption is 2.45 MWh per tonne of electrofused magnesia on a dry weight basis that:

has a concentration of magnesium oxide equal to or greater than 90%; and

has grain density of greater than 3.45 g/cm³; and

is produced by carrying on the emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activity; and

is of saleable quality.

Saleable quality is defined in regulation 22C.
