19A Emissions intensity determination in relation to application specifying steelmaking production variables as historical production variables

(1) This section applies if an application under section 14 for an emissions intensity determination specifies the steelmaking production variables as historical production variables, and the Regulator decides under subsection 19(1) to make the determination. (2) The following production variables are taken to be historical production variables for the facility: (a) the primary iron production variable; and (b) the continuously cast carbon steel products and ingots of carbon steel (manufacture of carbon steel from cold ferrous feed) production variable. (3) Subparagraph 19(3)(a)(i) applies to the production variables mentioned in subsection (2) instead of the steelmaking production variables.

Note: Subparagraph 19(3)(a)(i) requires a determination to specify the facility‑specific emissions intensity number of any historical production variable for the facility.

(4) For the purpose of subsection 19(3)(a)(i), the Regulator must consider the designated historical information included in the application: (a) in relation to the primary iron (steelmaking) production variable—as if that information was instead in relation to the primary iron production variable; and (b) in relation to the ferrous feed (steelmaking) production variable—as if that information was instead in relation to the continuously cast carbon steel products and ingots of carbon steel (manufacture of carbon steel from cold ferrous feed) production variable.
