scope:

This standard "Stationary source emissions - Determination of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions in energy intensive industries - Part 2: Iron and steel industry" provides a harmonized methodology for calculating GHG emissions from the steel industry.

This standard applies to facilities producing any of the multiple products of the steel production and downstream processing route.

The standard deals with the specific aspects for the determination of GHG emissions from this sector and the assessment of emission performance. This standard must be used in conjunction with the umbrella standard "prEN 19694-1 Stationary source emissions - Determination of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions in energy intensive industries - Part 1: General aspects" which deals with general aspects and is a generic umbrella standard. It contains 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.

Together these standards provide a harmonized method for:

a) measuring, testing and quantifying methods for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions,

b) assessing the level of GHG emissions performance of production processes over time, at production sites,

c) establishment and provision of reliable, accurate and quality information for reporting and verification purposes.
