Activity-specific guidelines for the production of soda ash and sodium bicarbonate as listed in Annex I to Directive 2003/87/EC

1.   BOUNDARIES AND COMPLETENESS

The activity-specific guidelines in this Annex shall be applied for emissions from installations for the production of soda ash and sodium bicarbonate as listed in Annex I to Directive 2003/87/EC.

2.   DETERMINATION OF CO2 EMISSIONS

In installations for the production of soda ash and sodium bicarbonate emission sources and source streams for CO2 emissions include:

| — | fuels used for combustion processes, e.g. with the purpose of producing hot water or steam, |
| --- | --- |

—

fuels used for combustion processes, e.g. with the purpose of producing hot water or steam,

| --- | --- |

—

waste gases from washing or filtration steps after carbonation, to the extent they are not used for carbonation.

2.1.   CALCULATION OF CO2 EMISSIONS

As soda ash and sodium bicarbonate contain carbon stemming from the process inputs, the calculation of process emissions shall be based on a mass balance approach pursuant to Section 2.1.1. Emissions from the combustion of fuels can either be monitored separately pursuant to Section 2.1.2 or be taken into account in the mass balance approach.

2.1.1.   MASS-BALANCE APPROACH

The mass-balance approach shall consider all carbon in inputs, stocks, products and other exports from the installation to determine the level of emissions of greenhouse gases over the reporting period, except for emission sources monitored in accordance with Section 2.1.2 of this Annex. The amount of CO2 used for producing sodium bicarbonate from soda ash shall be considered as emitted. The following equation shall be used:

CO2 emissions [t CO2] = (input – products – export – stock changes) * conversion factor CO2/C

With:

—   input [t C]: all carbon entering the boundaries of the installation,

—   products [t C]: all carbon in products (1) and materials, including by-products, leaving the boundaries of the installation,

—   export [t C]: carbon exported from the boundaries of the installation in liquid and/or solid phases, e.g. discharged to sewer, deposited into landfill or through losses. Export does not include the release of greenhouse gases or carbon monoxide into the atmosphere,

—   stock changes [t C]: stock increases of carbon within the boundaries of the mass balance.

The calculation shall then be as follows:

CO2 emissions [t CO2] = (Σ (activity datainput * carbon contentinput) – Σ (activity dataproducts * carbon contentproducts) – Σ (activity dataexport * carbon contentexport) – Σ (activity datastock changes * carbon contentstock changes)) * 3,664

With:

(a)   
  activity data

The operator shall analyse and report the mass flows into and from the installation and respective stock changes for all relevant fuels and materials separately. Where the carbon content of a mass flow is usually related to energy content (fuels), the operator may determine and use the carbon content related to the energy content [t C/TJ] of the respective mass flow for the calculation of the mass balance.

Tier 1

Activity data over the reporting period are determined with a maximum uncertainty of less than ± 7,5 %.

Tier 2

Activity data over the reporting period are determined with a maximum uncertainty of less than ± 5 %.

Tier 3

Activity data over the reporting period are determined with a maximum uncertainty of less than ± 2,5 %.

Tier 4

Activity data over the reporting period are determined with a maximum uncertainty of less than ± 1,5 %.

(b)   
  carbon content

Tier 1

The carbon content of input or output streams is derived from reference emission factors for fuels or materials named in Section 11 of Annex I or in other activity-specific Annexes to these Guidelines. The carbon content is derived as follows:

C content [t/t or TJ] = Emission factor [t CO2/t or TJ]/3,664 [t CO2/t C]

Tier 2

The operator applies country-specific carbon content for the respective fuel or material as reported by the respective Member State in its latest national inventory submitted to the Secretariat of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.

Tier 3

The carbon content of input or output stream shall be derived following the provisions of Section 13 of Annex I in respect to representative sampling of fuels, products and by-products, the determination of their carbon contents and biomass fraction.

2.1.2.   COMBUSTION EMISSIONS

Emissions from combustion of fuels shall be monitored and reported in accordance with Annex II, unless they are taken into account in the mass balance under Section 2.1.1.

2.2.   MEASUREMENT OF CO2 EMISSIONS

The measurement guidelines contained in Annexes I and XII shall be applied.

The reference values listed in Section 11 of Annex I to these guidelines are used.

Tier 2a

The operator applies country specific emission factors for the respective fuel as reported by the respective Member State in its latest national inventory submitted to the Secretariat of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.

Tier 2b

The operator derives emission factors for the fuel based on one of the following established proxies:

| — | density measurement of specific oils or gases common e.g. to the refinery or steel industry, and |
| --- | --- |

—

density measurement of specific oils or gases common e.g. to the refinery or steel industry, and

| — | net calorific value for specific coal types, |

in combination with an empirical correlation as determined at least once per year according to the provisions of Section 13 of Annex I. The operator shall ensure that the correlation satisfies the requirements of good engineering practice and that it is applied only to values of the proxy which fall into the range for which it was established.

Tier 3

Use of an activity-specific emission factor [CO2/TJ or CO2/t or CO2/Nm3 feed] calculated from the carbon content of the fuel used, determined according to Section 13 of Annex I.

2.1.2.2.   PRODUCTION OF SYNTHESIS GAS

As part of the carbon in the fuels used as process input is contained in the produced synthesis gas, a mass balance approach is to be used for the calculation of greenhouse gas emissions.

The mass-balance approach shall consider all carbon in inputs, stocks, products and other exports from the installation to determine the level of emissions of greenhouse gases over the reporting period, except for emission sources monitored in accordance with Section 2.1.1 and 2.1.2.1 of this Annex. The following equation shall be used:

CO2 emissions [t CO2] = (input – products – export – stock changes) * conversion factor CO2/C

With:

—   input [t C]: all carbon entering the boundaries of the installation,

—   products [t C]: all carbon in products and materials, including by-products, leaving the boundaries of the installation,

—   export [t C]: carbon exported from the boundaries of the installation, e.g. discharged to sewer, deposited into landfill or through losses. Export does not include the release of greenhouse gases or carbon monoxide into the atmosphere,

—   stock changes [t C]: stock increases of carbon within the boundaries of the mass balance.

The calculation shall then be as follows:

CO2 emissions [t CO2] = (Σ (activity datainput * carbon contentinput) – Σ (activity dataproducts * carbon contentproducts) – Σ (activity dataexport * carbon contentexport) – Σ (activity datastock changes * carbon contentstock changes)) * 3,664

With:

(a)   
  activity data

The operator shall analyse and report the mass flows into and from the installation and respective stock changes for all relevant fuels and materials separately. Where the carbon content of a mass flow is usually related to energy content (fuels), the operator may determine and use the carbon content related to the energy content [t C/TJ] of the respective mass flow for the calculation of the mass balance.

Tier 1

Activity data over the reporting period are determined with a maximum uncertainty of less than ± 7,5 %.

Tier 2

Activity data over the reporting period are determined with a maximum uncertainty of less than ± 5 %.

Tier 3

Activity data over the reporting period are determined with a maximum uncertainty of less than ± 2,5 %.

Tier 4

Activity data over the reporting period are determined with a maximum uncertainty of less than ± 1,5 %.

(b)   
  carbon content

Tier 1

The carbon content of input or output streams is derived from reference emission factors for fuels or materials named in Section 11 of Annex I or in other activity-specific Annexes to these Guidelines. The carbon content is derived as follows:

C content [t/t or TJ] = Emission factor [t CO2/t or TJ]/3,664 [t CO2/t C]

Tier 2

The operator applies country-specific carbon contents for the respective fuel or material as reported by the respective Member State in its latest national inventory submitted to the Secretariat of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.

Tier 3

ANNEX XVII

The following Annex XXII is added:

‘ANNEX XXII

Activity-specific guidelines for the production of bulk organic chemicals as listed in Annex I to Directive 2003/87/EC

1.   BOUNDARIES AND COMPLETENESS

The activity-specific guidelines contained in this Annex shall be used to monitor emissions from the production of bulk organic chemicals as listed in Annex I to Directive 2003/87/EC. Where such production is technically integrated in a mineral oil refinery, the operator of such installation shall use the relevant provisions of Annex III instead, especially for emissions from catalytic crackers.

Installations for the production of bulk organic chemicals can be part of integrated installations in the chemical or refinery industry causing an intensive energy and material exchange. CO2 emissions may occur from combustion of fuels as well as from fuels or materials used as process input.

2.   DETERMINATION OF CO2 EMISSIONS

Potential emission sources for CO2 include fuels and input materials of the following processes:

| — | cracking (catalytic and non-catalytic), |
| --- | --- |

—

cracking (catalytic and non-catalytic),

2.1.   CALCULATION OF CO2 EMISSIONS

In case of combustion processes where the fuels used do not take part in or stem from chemical reactions for the production of bulk organic chemicals, e.g. for generating process heat or electricity, the emissions shall be monitored and reported pursuant to Section 2.1.1. In all other cases the emissions from bulk organic chemicals production shall be calculated using a mass-balance approach laid down in Section 2.1.2. All CO in the flue gas shall be accounted for as CO2. Based on the approval of the competent authority, an input-based approach such as presented in Annex II, taking into account industry best practice can be used instead of a mass-balance approach if the operator can show that this is more cost-efficient and leads to a comparable accuracy level.

2.1.1.   COMBUSTION EMISSIONS

Emissions from combustion processes shall be monitored and reported in accordance with Annex II. If waste gas scrubbing is carried out at the installation and the resulting emissions are not calculated using the mass balance pursuant to Section 2.1.2, they shall be calculated in accordance with Annex II.

2.1.2.   MASS-BALANCE APPROACH

The mass-balance approach shall consider all carbon in inputs, stocks, products and other exports from the installation to account for the emissions of greenhouse gases, except for emission sources monitored in accordance with Section 2.1.1 of this Annex. The following equation shall be used:

Emissions [t CO2] = (input – products – export – stock changes) * conversion factor CO2/C

With:

—   input [t C]: all carbon entering the boundaries of the installation,

—   products [t C]: all carbon in products and materials, including by-products, leaving the boundaries of the installation,

—   export [t C]: carbon exported from the boundaries of the installation, e.g. discharged to sewer, deposited into landfill or through losses. Export does not include the release of greenhouse gases or carbon monoxide into the atmosphere,

—   stock changes [t C]: stock increases of carbon within the boundaries of the installation.

The calculation shall then be as follows:

CO2 emissions [t CO2] = (Σ (activity datainput * carbon contentinput) – Σ (activity dataproducts * carbon contentproducts) – Σ (activity dataexport * carbon contentexport) – Σ (activity datastock changes * carbon contentstock changes)) * 3,664

With:

(a)   
  Activity data

The operator shall analyse and report the mass flows into and from the installation and respective stock changes for all relevant fuels and materials separately. Where the carbon content of a mass flow is usually related to energy content (fuels), the operator may determine and use the carbon content related to the energy content [t C/TJ] of the respective mass flow for the calculation of the mass balance.

Tier 1

Activity data over the reporting period are determined with a maximum uncertainty of less than ± 7,5 %.

Tier 2

Activity data over the reporting period are determined with a maximum uncertainty of less than ± 5,0 %.

Tier 3

Activity data over the reporting period are determined with a maximum uncertainty of less than ± 2,5 %.

Tier 4

Activity data over the reporting period are determined with a maximum uncertainty of less than ± 1,5 %.

(b)   
  carbon content

Tier 1

The carbon content of input or output streams shall be derived from reference emission factors for fuels or materials listed in Section 11 of Annex I, in the Table below or in other activity-specific Annexes to these Guidelines. The carbon content is derived as follows:

C content [t/t or TJ] = Emission factor [t CO2/t or TJ]/3,664 [t CO2/t C]

For substances not listed in Section 11 of Annex I or in other activity-specific Annexes to these Guidelines, operators may calculate the carbon content from the stoichiometric carbon content in the pure substance and the concentration of the substance in the input or output stream.

In installations where carbon stemming from fuels or input materials used at this installation remains in the products or other outputs of the production, e.g. for the reduction of metal ores, a mass balance approach shall be applied (see Section 2.1.1). In installations where this is not the case combustion emissions and process emissions shall be calculated separately (see Sections 2.1.2 and 2.1.3).

With:

(a)   
  activity data

The operator shall analyse and report the mass flows into and from the installation and respective stock changes for all relevant fuels and materials separately. Where the carbon content of a mass flow is usually related to energy content (fuels), the operator may determine and use the carbon content related to the energy content [t C/TJ] of the respective mass flow for the calculation of the mass balance.

ANNEX XIX

The following Annex XXIV is added:

‘ANNEX XXIV

Activity-specific guidelines for the production or processing of primary aluminium as listed in Annex I to Directive 2003/87/EC

1.   BOUNDARIES AND COMPLETENESS

The activity-specific guidelines in this Annex shall be applied for emissions from installations for the production or processing of primary aluminium as listed in Annex I to Directive 2003/87/EC.

2.1.   CALCULATION OF CO2 EMISSIONS

2.1.1.   COMBUSTION EMISSIONS

Emissions from combustion of fuels, including flue gas scrubbing, shall be monitored and reported in accordance with Annex II, unless they are included in a mass balance pursuant to Section 2.1.2.

2.1.2.   MASS BALANCE

Process emissions from anode production and consumption shall be calculated by using a mass-balance approach. The mass-balance approach shall consider all carbon in inputs, stocks, products and other exports from the mixing, forming, baking and recycling of anodes as well as from the electrode consumption in electrolysis. Where pre-baked anodes are used, either separate mass balances for production and consumption may be applied, or one common mass balance taking into account both production and consumption of electrodes. In the case of Søderberg cells, the operator shall use one common mass balance. The mass balance shall determine the level of emissions of greenhouse gases over the reporting period, using the following equation independently of whether a common mass balance or separate mass balances are used:

CO2 emissions [t CO2] = (input – products – export – stock changes) * conversion factor CO2/C

With:

—   input [t C]: all carbon entering the boundaries of the mass balance, e.g. pitch, coke, packing coke or purchased anodes,

—   products [t C]: all carbon in products and materials, including by-products and waste, leaving the boundaries of the mass balance, e.g. sold anodes,

—   export [t C]: carbon exported from the boundaries of the mass balance, e.g. discharged to sewer, deposited into landfill or through losses. Export does not include the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere,

—   stock changes [t C]: stock increases of carbon within the boundaries of the mass balance.

The calculation shall then be as follows:

CO2 emissions [t CO2] = (Σ (activity datainput * carbon contentinput) – Σ (activity dataproducts * carbon contentproducts) – Σ (activity dataexport * carbon contentexport) – Σ (activity datastock changes * carbon contentstock changes)) * 3,664

With:

(a)   
  activity data

The operator shall analyse and report the mass flows into and from the installation and respective stock changes for all relevant fuels and materials (e.g. pitch, coke or packing coke) separately. Where the carbon content of a mass flow is usually related to energy content (fuels), the operator may determine and use the carbon content related to the energy content [t C/TJ] of the respective mass flow for the calculation of the mass balance.

Tier 1

Activity data over the reporting period are determined with a maximum uncertainty of less than ± 7,5 %.

Tier 2

Activity data over the reporting period are determined with a maximum uncertainty of less than ± 5 %.

Tier 3

Activity data over the reporting period are determined with a maximum uncertainty of less than ± 2,5 %.

Tier 4

Activity data over the reporting period are determined with a maximum uncertainty of less than ± 1,5 %.

(b)   
  carbon content

Tier 1

The carbon content of input or output streams is derived from reference emission factors for fuels or materials named in Section 11 of Annex I or in other activity-specific Annexes to these Guidelines. The carbon content is derived as follows:

C content [t/t or TJ] = Emission factor [t CO2/t or TJ]/3,664 [t CO2/t C]

Tier 2

The operator applies country-specific carbon content for the respective fuel or material as reported by the respective Member State in its latest national inventory submitted to the Secretariat of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.

Tier 3

The carbon content of input or output stream shall be derived following the provisions of Section 13 of Annex I in respect to representative sampling of fuels, products and by-products, the determination of their carbon contents and biomass fraction.

The carbon content can be derived from direct analysis as well as from indirect analysis, i.e. by subtracting the measured content of known constituents (such as sulphur, hydrogen and ash) from the total amount, as appropriate and subject to the approval of the competent authority.

2.2.   MEASUREMENT OF CO2 EMISSIONS

The measurement guidelines contained in Annexes I and XII shall be applied.

3.   DETERMINATION OF PFC EMISSIONS

PFC-Emissions from primary aluminium production shall include CF4 and C2F6 emissions expressed as CO2-equivalents:

PFC emissions [t CO2(e)] = CF4-emissions [t CO2(e)] + C2F6-emissions [t CO2(e)]

Carbon dioxide equivalents (t CO2(e)) shall be calculated using Global Warming Potential values provided in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s Second Assessment Report (1995 IPCC GWP value). These are:

| GWPCF4
  = 6 500 t CO2(e)/t CF4 |
| --- |

GWPCF4
  = 6 500 t CO2(e)/t CF4

| GWPC2F6
  = 9 200 t CO2(e)/t C2F6 |
| --- |

GWPC2F6
  = 9 200 t CO2(e)/t C2F6

Total PFC emissions are calculated from the emissions which are measurable in a duct or stack (‘point source emissions’) plus the fugitive emissions using the collection efficiency of the duct:

PFC emissions (total) = PFC emissions (duct)/collection efficiency

The collection efficiency is measured when the installation specific emission factors are determined. For its determination the most recent version of the guidance mentioned under Tier 3 of Section 4.4.2.4 of the 2006 IPCC Guidelines shall be used.

Emissions of CF4 and C2F6 emitted through a duct or stack shall be calculated by one of the following two approaches, depending on the control technologies used. Calculation method A is used where the anode effect minutes per cell-day are recorded, calculation method B shall be used where the anode effect overvoltage is recorded.

Calculation Method A – Slope Method

Where the anode effect minutes per cell-day are measured, the following equations shall be used for determining PFC emissions:

| CF4 emissions [t CO2(e)] = AEM × (SEFCF4
  /1 000) × PrAl × GWPCF4 |
| --- |

CF4 emissions [t CO2(e)] = AEM × (SEFCF4
  /1 000) × PrAl × GWPCF4

| C2F6-emissions [t CO2(e)] = CF4 emissions * FC2F6
  - GWPC2F6 |
| --- |

C2F6-emissions [t CO2(e)] = CF4 emissions * FC2F6

(b)   Anode effect minutes (AEM)

The Anode effect minutes per cell-day expresses the frequency of anode effects [number of anode effects/cell-day] multiplied by the average duration of anode effects [anode effect minutes/occurrence]:

The emission factors are to be determined with a maximum uncertainty of ± 15 % each.

The emission factors shall be established at least every 3 years or earlier if necessary due to relevant changes at the installation. Relevant changes include a change in the distribution of anode effect duration, or a change in the control algorithm affecting the mix of types of anode effects or the nature of the anode effect termination routine.

Calculation Method B – Overvoltage Method

Where the anode effect overvoltage is measured, the following equations shall be used for determining PFC emissions:

| CF4 emissions [t CO2(e)] = OVC × (AEO/CE) × PrAl × GWPCF4
  × 0,001 |
| --- |

CF4 emissions [t CO2(e)] = OVC × (AEO/CE) × PrAl × GWPCF4
  × 0,001

| C2F6 emissions [t CO2-eq] = CF4 emissions × FC2F6
  × GWPC2F6 |
| --- |

C2F6 emissions [t CO2-eq] = CF4 emissions × FC2F6
  × GWPC2F6

Activity data

(a)   Primary Aluminium Production

Tier 1

The primary aluminium production over the reporting period is determined with a maximum uncertainty of less than ± 2,5 %.

Tier 2

The primary aluminium production over the reporting period is determined with a maximum uncertainty of less than ± 1,5 %.

(b)   Anode effect overvoltage

The term AEO/CE (Anode effect overvoltage/current efficiency) expresses the time-integrated average anode effect overvoltage [mV overvoltage] per average current efficiency [%].

Tier 1

Anode effect overvoltage as well as current efficiency over the reporting period are each determined with a maximum uncertainty of less than ± 2,5 %.

Tier 2

Anode effect overvoltage as well as current efficiency over the reporting period are each determined with a maximum uncertainty of less than ± 1,5 %.

Emission factor

The emission factor for CF4 (‘overvoltage coefficient’ OVC) expresses the amount [kg] of CF4 emitted per t aluminium produced per millivolt overvoltage [mV]. The emission factor of C2F6 (weight fraction FC2F6
  ) expresses the amount [t] of C2F6 emitted as proportionate to the amount [t] of CF4 emitted.

Tier 1

Technology specific emission factors as laid down under Table 2 are used:

Tier 2

Installation-specific emission factors for CF4 [(kg CF4/t Al)/mV] and C2F6 [t C2F6/t CF4] established through continuous or intermittent field measurements are used. For the determination of these emission factors the most recent version of the guidance mentioned under Tier 3 of Section 4.4.2.4 of the 2006 IPCC Guidelines (2) shall be used. The emission factors are to be determined with a maximum uncertainty of ± 15 % each.

The emission factors shall be established at least every 3 years or earlier if necessary due to relevant changes at the installation. Relevant changes include a change in the distribution of anode effect duration or a change in the control algorithm affecting the mix of types of anode effects or the nature of the anode effect termination routine.
