(c) 2.84 MWh per tonne of 100% equivalent nickel, measured on a dry weight basis, contained in primary nickel products produced from intermediate nickel products that have not been produced at the same facility;
(d) 8.89 MWh per tonne of 100% equivalent cobalt, measured on a dry weight basis, contained in cobalt products.
