### Division 26—Production of manganese
> Note: Saleable quality is explained in Part 2.
326 (1) The production of manganese is any of the following:
(a) the physical and chemical transformation of manganese (Mn) ore into manganese sinter (Mn3O4) that has a concentration of manganese of at least 40%;
(b) the physical and chemical transformation of either or both of manganese ore and manganese sinter into either or both of the following:
(i) ferromanganese alloy that has a concentration of manganese of at least 67%;
(ii) silicomanganese alloy that has a concentration of:
(A) manganese of at least 60%; and
(B) silicon (Si) of at least 12%.
(2) The production of manganese is specified as an emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activity.
(3) The production of manganese is a highly emissions‑intensive activity.
> Note: See Part 4.
(4) For the production of manganese sinter, the basis for the issue of free carbon units is by a tonne of manganese sinter that:
(a) has a concentration of manganese of at least 40%; and
(b) is produced by, or as part of, carrying on the emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activity; and
(c) is of saleable quality.
(5) For the production of ferromanganese alloy, the basis for the issue of free carbon units is by a tonne of ferromanganese alloy that:
(a) has a concentration of manganese of at least 67%; and
(b) is produced by carrying on the emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activity; and
(c) is of saleable quality.
(6) For the production of silicomanganese alloy, the basis for the issue of free carbon units is by a tonne of silicomanganese alloy that:
(a) has a concentration of manganese of at least 60%; and
(b) has a concentration of silicon (Si) of at least 12%; and
(c) is produced by carrying on the emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activity; and
(d) is of saleable quality.
