14  Synthetic rutile
 (1) Tonnes of synthetic rutile that:
 (a) has a titanium dioxide (TiO2) concentration equal to or greater than 88% and less than 95.5%; and
 (b) has an iron (Fe) concentration greater than 0.5%; and
 (c) are produced as part of carrying on the synthetic rutile production activity at the facility; and
 (d) are of saleable quality.
 (2) The metric in subsection (1) is applicable to a facility that conducts the activity of producing synthetic rutile through the chemical transformation of ilmenite ore (ore containing FeTiO3) through the reduction of iron oxides in order to increase the titanium dioxide (TiO2) concentration to produce synthetic rutile that:
 (a) has a titanium dioxide (TiO2) concentration equal to or greater than 88% and less than 95.5%; and
 (b) has an iron (Fe) concentration greater than 0.5%.
 Note: The transformation described in subsection (2) is known as the Becher process.
 (3) The activity in subsection (2) is the synthetic rutile production activity.
 (4) The default emissions intensity is 1.15 t CO2‑e per tonne of synthetic rutile.
