ISO DIS 19694-6

Description / Abstract: This standard provides a harmonised methodology for calculating GHG emissions from the ferro-alloys industry based on the mass balance approach². It also provides key performance indicators over time of ferroalloys plants. It addresses the following direct and indirect sources of GHG:

— Scope – 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

² based on European Commission Regulation 601/2012
