12B Phosphoric acid
(1) Kilolitres of 100% equivalent phosphoric acid (H3PO4) that: (a) are contained in solution where the concentration of phosphoric acid is greater than 70% by weight; and (b) are produced as part of carrying on the phosphoric acid production activity at the facility; and (c) are of saleable quality. (2) The metric in subsection (1) is applicable to a facility that conducts the activity of producing phosphoric acid through the transformation of phosphate-bearing minerals (the phosphoric acid production activity). (3) The metric in subsection (1) is not applicable to a facility which further processes the phosphoric acid into monoammonium phosphate or diammonium phosphate. (4) The best practice emissions intensity is 0.114 t CO2‑e per kilolitre of 100% equivalent phosphoric acid.
