non‑fuel raw material must be estimated in accordance with Division 4.2.5 as if a reference to carbonates consumed from the activity was a reference to carbon‑bearing non‑fuel raw material consumed from the activity.
 (4) Method 3 requires carbonates to be sampled and analysed in accordance with sections 4.9 and 4.10.

4.9  General requirements for sampling carbonates
 (1) Method 3 requires carbonates to be sampled in accordance with the procedure for sampling cement clinker specified under section 4.6 for method 2.
 (2) In applying section 4.6, a reference in that section to cement clinker is taken to be a reference to a carbonate.

4.10  General requirements for analysing carbonates
 (1) Analysis of samples of carbonates, including determining the quantity (in tonnes) of pure carbonate, must be done in accordance with industry practice or standards, and must be consistent with the principles in section 1.13.
 (2) The minimum frequency of analysis of samples of carbonates must be in accordance with the Tier 3 method in section 2.2.1.1 of Chapter 2 of Volume 3 of the 2006 IPCC Guidelines.

Division 4.2.2—Lime production

4.11  Application
  This Division applies to lime production (other than the in‑house production of lime in the metals industry).

4.12  Available methods
 (1) Subject to section 1.18, one of the following methods must be used for estimating emissions of carbon dioxide released during a year from the operation of a facility that is constituted by the production of lime (other than the in‑house production of lime in the ferrous metals industry):
 (a) method 1 under section 4.13;
 (b) method 2 under section 4.14;
 (c) method 3 under section 4.17;
 (d) method 4 under Part 1.3.
 (2) However, for incidental emissions another method may be used that is consistent with the principles in section 1.13.

4.13  Method 1—lime production
 (1) Method 1 is:

where:
Eij is the emissions of carbon dioxide (j) released from the production of lime (i) during the year, measured in CO2‑e tonnes.
Ai is the quantity of lime produced during the year, measured in tonnes and estimated under Division 4.2.5.
Alkd is the quantity of lime kiln dust lost as a result of the production of lime during the year, measured in tonnes and estimated under Division 4.2.5.
Flkd is:
 (a) the fraction of calcination achieved for lime kiln dust in the production of lime during the year; or
 (b) if the data mentioned in paragraph (a) is not available—the value 1.
EFij is the carbon dioxide (j) emission factor for lime, measured in tonnes of emission of carbon dioxide per tonne of lime produced, as follows:
 (a) for commercial lime production—0.675;
 (b) for non‑commercial lime production—0.730;
 (c) for magnesian lime and dolomitic lime production—0.860.
