#### 694 Electricity baseline for product
The electricity baseline for calculating the amount of a liable entity’s exemption in respect of the production of sodium carbonate (soda ash) and sodium bicarbonate is 0.130 MWh per tonne of 1 or more of the following:
(a) light sodium carbonate (light soda ash (Na2CO3)) that:
(i) has a concentration of sodium carbonate (soda ash (Na2CO3)) equal to or greater than 98.0%; and
(ii) is produced by carrying on the emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activity; and
(iii) is of saleable quality;
(b) dense sodium carbonate (dense soda ash (Na2CO3)) that:
(i) has a concentration of sodium carbonate (soda ash (Na2CO3)) equal to or greater than 97.5%; and
(ii) is produced by carrying on the emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activity; and
(iii) is of saleable quality;
(c) refined sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) that:
(i) has a concentration of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) equal to or greater than 95.0%; and
(ii) is produced by carrying on the emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activity; and
(iii) is of saleable quality.
> Note: Saleable quality is defined in regulation 22C.
