### Division 34—Production of ammonia
334 (1) The production of ammonia is the chemical transformation of hydrocarbons (or other hydrogen feedstock) to hydrogen (H2) that is subsequently reacted with nitrogen (N2) to produce anhydrous ammonia (NH3) that has a concentration of ammonia (NH3) of at least 98%.
(2) The production of ammonia is specified as an emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activity.
(3) The production of ammonia is a highly emissions‑intensive activity.
> Note: See Part 4.
(4) For the production of ammonia, the basis for the issue of free carbon units is by a tonne of 100% equivalent anhydrous ammonia 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.
