### Division 52—Production of coal char
352 (1) The production of coal char is the chemical and physical transformation of coal or a coal based input at a temperature higher than 700 °C, into coal char that, on a dry weight basis:
(a) has volatile matter of less than 2% after production; and
(b) exhibits a silicon oxide (SiO) reactivity R10 corrected value of less than 1 100 ml of silicon oxide (SiO) gas at standard temperature and pressure.
(2) The production of coal char is specified as an emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activity.
(3) The production of coal char is a highly emissions‑intensive activity.
(4) For the production of coal char, the basis for the issue of free carbon units is by a tonne of coal char that, on a dry weight basis:
(a) has volatile matter of less than 2% after production; and
(b) exhibits a silicon oxide (SiO) reactivity R10 corrected value of less than 1 100 ml of silicon oxide (SiO) gas at standard temperature and pressure; and
(c) is produced by carrying on the emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activity; and
(d) is of saleable quality.
> Note: Saleable quality is explained in Part 2.
