39A Primary iron (steelmaking)

(1) This section applies for the purposes of sections 14A and 19A. (2) Subject to subsection (5), tonnes of metallic iron products, excluding any gangue, that are produced as part of carrying on the primary iron (steelmaking) production activity at the facility. (3) The metric in subsection (2) is applicable to a facility that conducts the activity of the physical and chemical processing of iron containing feeds into a crude iron product suitable for use by the facility for manufacturing primary steel. (4) The activity in subsection (3) is the primary iron (steelmaking) production activity. (5) For subsection (2), if the amount of coke oven coke imported into the facility to produce the metallic iron products is equal to or greater than 5% of the total amount of coke oven coke consumed in carrying on the primary iron (steelmaking) production activity, then tonnes of metallic iron products are given by the following equation: metallic iron products = Qp + 0.892 Qi where: Qp is the quantity of metallic iron products, in tonnes, that meet the requirements of subsection (2) and are not produced using coke oven coke imported into the facility. Qi is the quantity of metallic iron products, in tonnes, that meet the requirements of subsection (2) and are produced using coke oven coke imported into the facility.

Note 1: Qp may or may not have been produced with coke oven coke.

Note 2: Qp and Qi do not need to be directly measured; they can be calculated from the consumed ratio of coke oven coke imported into the facility to coke oven coke used to produce metallic iron products that meet the requirements in subsection (2), multiplied by the quantity of iron produced using coke oven coke.

Note: Example 1: The facility produces 100,000 tonnes of metallic iron products that meet the requirements in subsection (2), all of which are produced using coke oven coke. The metallic iron products do not include any gangue. The facility uses 7,000 tonnes of imported coke oven coke and 63,000 tonnes of coke oven coke produced at the facility to make the metallic iron products, so that 70,000 tonnes of coke oven coke is used to make the metallic iron products in total. As such, the amount of coke oven coke imported into the facility to produce the metallic iron products is 10% of the total amount of coke oven coke, so this subsection applies. The amount of coke oven coke produced by the facility is 90% of the total amount of coke oven coke consumed in carrying on the primary iron (steelmaking) production activity.

Note: Qp and Qi are calculated by multiplying these proportions by the total amount of metallic iron products produced using coke oven coke. As such, Qp = 90% × 100,000 = 90,000; and Qi = 10% × 100,000 = 10,000. The metric, in tonnes, is therefore equal to 90,000 + 0.892 × 10,000, or 98,920.
