✨ Emissions Data Collection Notice
Call for the Provision of Data (Iron and Steel Manufacturing from Iron Sand) Notice 2010
Pursuant to section 161D of the Climate Change Response Act 2002, I, Hon Nick Smith, Minister for Climate Change Issues, give the following notice requiring information on iron and steel manufacturing from iron sand to determine the emissions-intensity of this activity and the allocative baseline or baselines of the products of the activity.
Notice
-
Title and commencement—(1) This notice may be cited as the Call for the Provision of Data (Iron and Steel Manufacturing from Iron Sand) Notice 2010.
(2) This notice takes effect from and including 30 April 2010.
-
Interpretation—(1) Unless the context otherwise requires:
Act means the Climate Change Response Act 2002.
Activity outputs are the outputs used for the calculation of the revenue of the activity and mean the outputs specified in clause 2(2)(a)–(d).
Bases of preparation means the form available at
www.climatechange.govt.nz/industrialallocationData collection rules means the methodologies for data collection specified in Schedule 1 of this notice.
Declaration means the statement of declaration located at
www.climatechange.govt.nz/industrialallocationExcluded emissions means the emissions specified in Schedule 3 of this notice.
Financial years means the financial years beginning on 1 July and ending on 30 June for each of the periods 2006/2007, 2007/2008 and 2008/2009 during which the person carried out the activity.
Included emissions means the emissions specified in Schedule 2 of this notice from the sources listed in Emissions Rule 1 of Schedule 1.
Product (basis of allocation) means
(a) tonnes of molten iron, as measured prior to the addition of any cold ferrous feed such as scrap steel or solid pig iron, where molten iron has a maximum carbon (C) mass content of 6% and a minimum total iron (Fe) content of 94%, which result from carrying out the activity as defined
(b) tonnes of saleable cast carbon steel products (where carbon steel is defined as a material which contains by mass more iron (Fe) than any other single element and has a carbon (C) content less than 2%) which result from carrying out the activity as defined
(c) tonnes of saleable vanadium bearing materials with a minimum vanadium concentration (expressed as V₂O₅) of 8%, which result from carrying out the activity as defined
(d) tonnes of saleable flat products of hot-rolled carbon steel, which result from carrying out the activity as defined.
Specified Template means the table template located at
www.climatechange.govt.nz/industrialallocation(2) Activity means the chemical and physical transformation of iron sand into pig iron products, cast carbon steel products and hot-rolled carbon steel products, where iron sand is the predominant feed material, and where carbon steel is defined as a material which contains by mass more iron (Fe) than any other single element and has a carbon (C) content less than 2%, involving the conduct of the following processes:
-
The chemical and physical transformation of iron sand into iron which proceeds via the reduction of oxides of iron using carbon as the predominant reducing agent AND
-
the conditioning/pre-treatment of molten iron to remove impurities, upstream of the steelmaking process AND
