Division 12Production of high purity ethanol

### Division 12—Production of high purity ethanol 312 (1) The production of high purity ethanol is the chemical transformation of fermentable sugars (such as C6H12O6, C5H10O5, C12H22O11 or C18H32O16) to ethanol (C2H5OH) and subsequent purification process to obtain a solution of high purity ethanol where the concentration of ethanol (C2H5OH) is at least 95% with respect to volume. (2) The production of high purity ethanol is specified as an emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activity. (3) The production of high purity ethanol is a moderately emissions‑intensive activity. > Note: See Part 4. (4) The basis for the issue of free carbon units is by a kilolitre of 100% equivalent ethanol (C2H5OH) at 20 °C that is produced by carrying on the emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activity, assuming a density of ethanol (C2H5OH) of 789.24 kg/m3 at 20 °C.
