Division 46—Production of hydrogen peroxide
346 (1) The production of hydrogen peroxide is the chemical transformation of hydrogen (H) feedstocks and oxygen (O) feedstocks: (a) to produce crude aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution that has a concentration of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2(aq)) of at least 39% with respect to mass; and (b) to later produce saleable aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution that has a concentration of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2(aq)) of at least 34% with respect to mass. (2) The production of hydrogen peroxide is specified as an emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activity. (3) The production of hydrogen peroxide is a moderately emissions‑intensive activity. (4) The basis for the issue of free carbon units for the production of hydrogen peroxide is by a tonne of 100% equivalent hydrogen peroxide in saleable aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution that: (a) has a concentration of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2(aq)) of at least 34% with respect to mass; 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.
