SR EN 19694-6:2016

This European Standard provides a harmonized methodology for calculating GHG emissions from the ferro-alloys industry based on the mass balance approach . It also provides key performance indicators over time of ferro-alloys plants. It addresses the following direct and indirect sources of GHG: - Scope 1 - Direct GHG emissions from sources that are owned or controlled by the company, such as emissions result from the following sources: - smelting (reduction) process; - decomposition of carbonates inside the furnace; - auxiliaries operation related to the smelting operation (i.e. aggregates, drying processes, heating of ladles, etc.). - Scope 2 - Indirect GHG emissions from: - the generation of purchased electricity consumed in the company’s owned or controlled equipment. This European Standard is to be used in conjunction with FprEN 19694-1, which contains generic, overall requirements, definitions and rules applicable to the determination of GHG emissions for all energy-intensive sectors, provides common methodological issues and defines the details for applying the rules.
