(1) For dry pulp manufacturing, the basis for calculating the amount of a liable entity’s exemption is 0.404 MWh per tonne of either or both of rolls and bales of dry pulp that:
(a) has a moisture content in the range of 4% to 14%; and
(b) is generally useable in either or both of:
(i) paper manufacturing; and
(ii) the production of sanitary products (such as a fluff pulp layer in sanitary products); 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.
(2) For the production of pulp from either or both of woodchips and sawdust as part of dry pulp manufacturing, the basis for calculating the amount of a liable entity’s exemption is 0.448 MWh per total air dried tonne (applying a 10% moisture content) of equivalent pulp that is:
(a) produced from either or both of woodchips and sawdust;
(b) used in the process of manufacturing dry pulp; and
(c) produced as part of carrying on the emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activity.
(3) For this Part, an amount of pulp or paper that is used as a basis for calculating the amount of a liable entity’s exemption for 1 of the following emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activities:
(a) the manufacture of newsprint;
(b) dry pulp manufacturing;
(c) cartonboard manufacturing;
(d) packaging and industrial paper manufacturing;
