This European Standard provides a harmonized methodology for calculating GHG emissions and GHG
performance in the steel industry.This European Standard applies to facilities producing any of the multiple products of the steel value
chain. It is supported by a set of worksheets.This European Standard deals with the specific aspects for the determination of GHG emissions from
steel production and the assessment of emission performance. This standard is to be used in
conjunction with EN 19694-1, which contains overall requirements, definitions and rules applicable to
the determination of GHG emissions for energy-intensive sectors, thereby providing a common
methodological approach.EN 19694-1 and EN 19694-2 provide a harmonized method for:measuring, testing and quantifying methods for the determination of greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions;assessing the level of GHG emissions performance of production processes over time, at production
sites;the establishment and provision of reliable and accurate information of proper quality for reporting
and verification purposes.In addition, this standard provides a stepwise approach for the determination of CO2emissions and the
assessment of CO2performance of steel facilities, providing a set of methodologies allowing for a fair
and reliable assessment of the CO2performance of each individual process along the steel production
value chain.It can be seen as a toolbox which enables the determination of CO2emissions and the assessment of CO2performance of steel production facilities at various levels of disaggregation, establishing a sound
system for:the evaluation of the global CO2performance of a steel production facility taking its production
structure into account;setting a reliable basis for evaluation of the CO2reduction potential in a facility and the contributing
processes;setting a basis for accurate evaluation of new technologies.Next to the determination of the direct and indirect CO2emissions of a steel facility, this standard has a
strong focus on performance assessment which it strives to address through the following aspects:assessment of CO2impact, including process emissions: this methodology evaluates the total CO2emission of a steel facility, with the carbon content of the waste gases burdened as CO2to the
processes giving rise to them;assessment of the actual CO2impact: this methodology evaluates the total CO2emissions released
by a steel facility, but considers waste gases exported or used in a power plant as equal to natural
gas in terms of CO2emissions;carbon input CO2performance at facility level: this methodology delivers an indicator comparing
the facility performance with best practice, on the basis of the carbon input to the system;CO2performance assessment at process level: this methodology delivers a set of indicators
comparing process performance with best practice at unit level. These indicators are then
combined as a consolidated figure for the whole facility. This methodology also provides a
theoretical assessment of the CO2saving potential up to best practice.Cross References:EN 19694-1ISO/IEC Guide 98-3:2008GUM:19952009/29/EC2003/87/ECEU Commission Regulation No 601/2012ISO 5069-1ISO 13909EN 15440EN 15259EN 15442ISO 18283ISO/IEC 17025:2005ISO 14064-3:2006All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
