Division 24Production of polyethylene

### Division 24—Production of polyethylene 324 (1) The production of polyethylene is the chemical transformation of ethene (ethylene (C2H4)) to produce polyethylene with a standard density of at least 0.910 g/cm3. (2) The production of polyethylene is specified as an emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activity. (3) The production of polyethylene is a moderately emissions‑intensive activity. > Note: See Part 4. (4) The basis for the issue of free carbon units for the production of polyethylene is by a tonne of pelletised polyethylene that: (a) has a standard density of at least 0.910 g/cm3; and (b) is produced by carrying on the emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activity; and (c) is of saleable quality. > Note: Saleable quality is explained in Part 2. (5) For this Division: > standard density, for polyethylene, means the density of polyethylene moulded to a thickness of 1.9 mm using Procedure C of Annex A1 to ASTM D4703 Standard Practice for Compressions Moulding Thermoplastic Materials into Test Specimens, Plaques or Sheets, as in force from time to time.
