25 Electrolysis production pathway

(1) The electrolysis production pathway is a production pathway for hydrogen. (2) The electrolysis production module is the process of physically and chemically transforming water (H2O) into hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2) via a splitting process by electrolysis to produce hydrogen. (3) The electrolysis production module is a minimum module for the electrolysis production pathway. (4) The following are sources of emissions for the electrolysis production pathway: (a) electricity supply and use for the pathway; (b) water supply for the pathway; (c) steam supply and use for the pathway; (d) synthetic gas use for the pathway; (e) fuel supply and use for the pathway.

Note: Pursuant to subsection 29(6) of the Act, a source of emissions relating to a production pathway for a product is a production emissions source for the production pathway.

(5) If a source of emissions mentioned in subsection (4) exists for the electrolysis production pathway, the emissions must be monitored, measured and reported in accordance with the following: (a) for electricity supply and use—section 15; (b) for water supply—section 17; (c) for steam supply and use—section 18; (d) for synthetic gas use—section 19. (e) for fuel supply and use—section 16.
