Division 33—Production of ammonium nitrate
333 (1) The production of ammonium nitrate is the chemical transformation of anhydrous ammonia (NH3) to ammonium nitrate solution (NH4NO3(aq)) that has a concentration of ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) of 60% or more. (2) The production of ammonium nitrate is specified as an emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activity. (3) The production of ammonium nitrate is a highly emissions‑intensive activity.
Note: See Part 4.
(4) For the production of ammonium nitrate, the basis for the issue of free carbon units is by a tonne of 100% equivalent ammonium nitrate that is: (a) produced as part of carrying on the emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activity; and (b) of saleable quality.
Note: Saleable quality is explained in Part 2.
