692  Production of sodium carbonate (soda ash) and sodium bicarbonate
 (1) The production of sodium carbonate (soda ash) and sodium bicarbonate is the chemical and physical transformation of calcium carbonate (CaCO3), sodium chloride (salt (NaCl)), ammonia (NH3) and carbon bearing materials (such as coke) into 1 or more of the following:
 (a) light sodium carbonate (light soda ash (Na2CO3)) which has a concentration of sodium carbonate (soda ash (Na2CO3)) equal to or greater than 98.0%;
 (b) dense sodium carbonate (dense soda ash (Na2CO3)) which has a concentration of sodium carbonate (soda ash (Na2CO3)) equal to or greater than 97.5%;
 (c) refined sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) which has a concentration of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) equal to or greater than 95.0%.
 (2) The production of sodium carbonate (soda ash) and sodium bicarbonate is specified as an emissions‑intensive trade exposed activity.
