The activity generating the emissions is rare earth oxides production, from rare earth carbonate concentrate. The reference product is gadolinium oxide. Gadolinium is a lanthanide, a rare earth element, that is most commonly found in the oxide minerals monzanite and bastnaesite. The Bayan Obo iron ore deposit is the most largest known deposit of gadolinium and China is the largest supplier of gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3) globally, representing approximately 97% of world production. Gadolinium oxide has no commercial applications. The reference product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary ordinary transforming activity.
