#### 634 Electricity baseline for product
(1) For the production of caustic calcined magnesia, the basis for calculating the amount of a liable entity’s exemption is 0.0757 MWh per tonne of caustic calcined magnesia on a dry weight basis that:
(a) has a concentration of magnesium oxide (MgO) equal to or greater than 75%; and
(b) is produced by, or as part of, carrying on the emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activity; and
(c) is of saleable quality;
whether or not it is later transformed into deadburned magnesia or electrofused magnesia.
> Note: Saleable quality is defined in regulation 22C.
(2) For the production of deadburned magnesia, the basis for calculating the amount of a liable entity’s exemption is 0.202 MWh per tonne of deadburned magnesia on a dry weight basis that:
(a) has a concentration of magnesium oxide equal to or greater than 85%; and
(b) has grain density of 2.85 g/cm3 to 3.45 g/cm3; and
(c) is produced by carrying on the emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activity; and
(d) is of saleable quality.
> Note: Saleable quality is defined in regulation 22C.
(3) For the production of electrofused magnesia, the basis for calculating the amount of a liable entity’s exemption is 2.45 MWh per tonne of electrofused magnesia on a dry weight basis that:
(a) has a concentration of magnesium oxide equal to or greater than 90%; and
(b) has grain density of greater than 3.45 g/cm3; and
(c) is produced by carrying on the emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activity; and
(d) is of saleable quality.
> Note: Saleable quality is defined in regulation 22C.
