ISO 19694-3:2023(E)
Introduction
0.1 Overview of cement manufacturing process
Cement manufacture includes three main process steps (see Figure 1):
a) preparing of raw materials and fuels;
b) producing clinker, an intermediate, through pyro-processing of raw materials;
c) grinding and blending clinker with other products (“mineral components”) to make cement.
There are two main sources of direct CO emissions in the production process: calcination of raw
2
materials in the pyro-processing stage, and combustion of kiln fuels. These two sources are described
in more detail below. Other CO sources include direct GHG emissions from non-kiln fuels (e.g. dryers
2
for cement constituents products, room heating, on-site transports and on-site power generation),
and indirect GHG emissions from, for example, external power production and transports. Non-CO
2
greenhouse gases covered by the Kyoto Protocol, apart from carbon monoxide (CO) methane (CH ) and
4
nitrous oxide (N O), are not relevant in the cement context in the sense that direct GHG emissions of
2
these gases are negligible.
NOTE The non-CO greenhouse gases covered by the Kyoto Protocol are: methane (CH ), nitrous oxide (N O),
2 4 2
sulfur hexafluoride (SF ), partly halogenated fluorohydrogencarbons (HFC) and perfluorated hydrocarbons
6
(PFC).

0.2 CO from calcination of raw materials
2
In the clinker production process, CO is released due to the chemical decomposition of calcium,
2
magnesium and other carbonates (e.g. from limestone) into lime:
CaCO + heat → CaO + CO
3 2
MgCO + heat → MgO + CO
3 2
This process is called “calcining” or “calcination”. It results in direct CO emissions through the kiln
2
stack. When considering CO emissions due to calcination, two components can be distinguished:
2
— CO from raw materials actually used for clinker production, these raw materials are fully calcined
2
in the clinker production process;
vii
© ISO 2023 – All rights reserved

---------------------- Page: 7 ----------------------
ISO 19694-3:2023(E)
— CO from raw materials leaving the kiln system as partly calcined cement kiln dust (CKD), or as
2
normally fully calcined bypass dust.
CO from actual clinker production is proportional to the lime content of the clinker, which in turn
2
varies little in time or between different cement plants.
NOTE A second, but much smaller factor is the CaO and MgO content of the raw materials and additives used.
As a result, the CO emission factor per tonne of clinker is fairly stable with a default value in this
2
document of 525 kg CO /t clinker (IPCC default: 510 kg CO /t clinker, CSI default: 525 kg CO /t
2 2 2
[19]
clinker ).
The amount of kiln dust leaving the kiln system varies greatly with kiln types and cement quality
standards, ranging from practically zero to over one hundred kilograms per tonne of clinker. The
associated emissions are likely to be relevant in some countries or installations.
CO emissions from calcination of raw materials can be calculated by two methods which are in
2
principle equivalent: either based on the amount and chemical composition of the products (clinker
plus dust leaving the kiln system, output methods B1 and B2), or based on the amount and composition
of the raw materials entering the kiln (input methods A1 and A2). See 7.2.1 and 7.2.2 for details.
0.3 CO from organic carbon in raw materials
2
The raw materials used for clinker production usually contain a small fraction of organic carbon,
which can be expressed as TOC content. Organic carbon in the raw meal is converted to CO during
2
pyro-processing. The contribution of this component to the overall CO emissions of a cement plant is
2
typically very small (about 1 % or less). The organic carbon contents of raw materials can, however, vary
substantially between locations and between the types of materials used. For example, the resulting
emissions can be relevant if a cement company organization consumes large quantities of certain types
of fly ash or shale as raw materials entering the kiln.
0.4 CO from fuels for kiln operation
2
The cement industry traditionally uses various fossil fuels to operate cement kilns, including coal,
petroleum coke, fuel oil and natural gas. Fuels derived from waste materials have become important
substitutes for conventional fossil fuels. These AFs include fossil fuel-derived fractions such as, for
example, waste oil and plastics, as well as biomass-derived fractions such as waste wood and dewatered
sludge from wastewater treatment. Furthermore, fuels which contain both fossil and biogenic carbon
(mixed fuels), like, for example, (pre-treated) municipal and (pre-treated) industrial wastes (containing
plastics, textiles, paper etc.) or waste tyres (containing natural and synthetic rubber), are increasingly
used.
Both traditional fossil and alternative fuels result in direct CO emissions through the kiln stack.
2
However, biomass and bioliquids are considered “climate neutral“ in accordance with IPCC definitions.
The use of alternative (biomass- or fossil-derived) fuels can, in addition, lead to important emission
reductions elsewhere, for instance from waste incineration plants or landfills.
Mineral components are natural and artificial materials with latent hydraulic properties. Examples
of MIC include natural pozzolana, blast furnace slag and fly ash. In addition, gypsum is within this
document labelled as MIC. MICs are added to clinker to produce blended cement. In some instances,
pure MICs are directly added to the concrete by the ready-mix or construction company. Use of MICs
leads to an equivalent reduction of direct CO emissions associated with clinker production, both from
2
calcination and fuel combustion. Artificial MICs are waste materials from other production processes
such as, for example, steel and coal-fired power production. Related GHG emissions are monitored
and reported by the corresponding industry sector. Utilization of these MICs for clinker or cement
substitution does not entail additional GHG emissions at the production site. Consequently, these
indirect GHG emissions are not included in the cement production inventory.
The basic mass balance methods used in this document are compatible with the 2006 IPCC Guidelines
for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories issued by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
[4] [9]
(IPCC) , and with the revised WRI / WBCSD Greenhouse Gas Protocol . Default emission factors

ISO 19694-3:2023(E)
suggested in these documents are used, except where more recent, industry-specific data has become
available.
[4]
The 2006 IPCC Guidelines introduced a Tier 3 method for reporting CO emissions from the cement
2
[4]
production based on the raw material inputs (see Vol. III, Chapter 2.2.1.1, Formula (2).3 ). However, a
large number of raw material inputs and the need to continuously monitor their chemical composition
make this approach impractical in many cement plants. The different raw materials are normally
homogenized before and during the grinding process in the raw mill. The WRI / WBCSD therefore
recommended alternative methods for input-based reporting of CO emissions from raw material
2
calcination in cement plants. They rely on determining the amount of raw meal consumed in the kiln
system. In many cement plants, the homogenized mass flow of raw meal is routinely monitored including
its chemical analysis for the purpose of process and product quality control. The input methods based
on the raw meal consumed are already successfully applied in cement plants in different countries
and seem to be more practical than Tier 3 of Reference [4]. They were included in the Cement CO
2
[1]
and Energy Protocol Version 3 (simple input method A1 and detailed input method A2, 7.2.1). This
document provides guidance on how to compare the GHG performance of other companies or plants
within a sector level which is different from a methodology of the IPCC National Inventory Guideline.
This document for the cement industry has been based on Reference [1].

Introduction
This document for the cement industry has been based on the WBCSD/CSI and WRI: “CO2 and Energy
Accounting and Reporting Standard for the Cement Industry” .
0.1 Overview of cement manufacturing process
Cement manufacture includes three main process steps (see ):Figure 1):
a) preparing of raw materials and fuels;
b) producing clinker, an intermediate, through pyro-processing of raw materials;
c) grinding and blending clinker with other products (“mineral components”) to make cement.
There are two main sources of direct CO emissions in the production process: calcination of raw
2
materials in the pyro-processing stage, and combustion of kiln fuels. These two sources are described in
more detail below. Other CO sources include direct GHG emissions from non-kiln fuels (e.g. dryers for
2
cement constituents products, room heating, on-site transports and on-site power generation), and
indirect GHG emissions from, e.g.for example, external power production and transports. Non-CO2
greenhouse gases covered by the Kyoto Protocol, apart from carbon monoxide (CO) methane (CH ) and
4
nitrous oxide (N O), are not relevant in the cement context, in the sense that direct GHG emissions of
2
these gases are negligible.

0.2 CO2 from calcination of raw materials

x

---------------------- Page: 9 ----------------------
ISO/FDIS 19694-3:2022(E)
In the clinker production process, CO2 is released due to the chemical decomposition of calcium,
magnesium and other carbonates (e.g. from limestone) into lime:
CaCO + heat →→ CaO + CO
3 2
MgCO + heat →→ MgO + CO
3 2
This process is called "“calcining"” or "“calcination".”. It results in direct CO2 emissions through the kiln
stack. When considering CO emissions due to calcination, two components maycan be distinguished:
2
— CO2 from raw materials actually used for clinker production, these raw materials are fully calcined
in the clinker production process;
— CO from raw materials leaving the kiln system as partly calcined cement kiln dust (CKD), or as
2
normally fully calcined bypass dust.
CO from actual clinker production is proportional to the lime content of the clinker, which in turn varies
2
little in time or between different cement plants.
NOTE A second, but much smaller factor is the CaO and MgO content of the raw materials and additives used.
As a result, the CO emission factor per tonne of clinker is fairly stable with a default value in this
2
standarddocument of 525 kg CO2/t clinker (IPCC default: 510 kg CO2/t clinker, CSI default: 525 kg CO2/t
[19]
clinker). ).
The amount of kiln dust leaving the kiln system varies greatly with kiln types and cement quality
standards, ranging from practically zero to over one hundred kilograms per tonne of clinker. The
associated emissions are likely to be relevant in some countries or installations.
CO emissions from calcination of raw materials maycan be calculated by two methods which are in
2
principle equivalent: either based on the amount and chemical composition of the products (clinker plus
dust leaving the kiln system, output methods B1 and B2), or based on the amount and composition of the
raw materials entering the kiln (input methods A1 and A2). See 7.2.1, and 7.2.2 for details.
0.3 CO from organic carbon in raw materials
2
The raw materials used for clinker production usually contain a small fraction of organic carbon, which
maycan be expressed as total organic carbon (TOC) content. Organic carbon in the raw meal is converted
to CO2 during pyro-processing. The contribution of this component to the overall CO2 emissions of a
cement plant is typically very small (about 1 % or less). The organic carbon contents of raw materials
maycan, however, vary substantially between locations and between the types of materials used. For
example, the resulting emissions maycan be relevant if a cement company organization (used in this
standarddocument) consumes large quantities of certain types of fly ash or shale as raw materials
entering the kiln.
0.4 CO2 from fuels for kiln operation
The cement industry traditionally uses various fossil fuels to operate cement kilns, including coal,
petroleum coke, fuel oil, and natural gas. Fuels derived from waste materials have become important
substitutes for conventional fossil fuels. These alternative fuels (AF)AFs include fossil fuel-derived
fractions such as, e.g.for example, waste oil and plastics, as well as biomass-derived fractions such as
waste wood and dewatered sludge from wastewater treatment. Furthermore, fuels are increasingly used
which contain both fossil and biogenic carbon (mixed fuels), like e.g., for example, (pre-treated) municipal
and (pre-treated) industrial wastes (containing plastics, textiles, paper etc.) or waste tyres (containing
natural and synthetic rubber).), are increasingly used.
Both traditional fossil and alternative fuels result in direct CO emissions through the kiln stack. However,
2
biomass and bioliquids are considered “climate change-neutral“ in accordance with IPCC definitions. The

xi

---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
ISO/FDIS 19694-3:2022(E)
use of alternative (biomass- or fossil-derived) fuels maycan, in addition, lead to important emission
reductions elsewhere, for instance from waste incineration plants or landfills.
Mineral components (MIC) are natural and artificial materials with latent hydraulic properties. Examples
of MIC include natural pozzolana, blast furnace slag, and fly ash. In addition, gypsum is within this
standarddocument labelled as MIC. MICs are added to clinker to produce blended cement. In some
instances, pure MICs are directly added to the concrete by the ready-mix or construction company. Use
of MICs leads to an equivalent reduction of direct CO2 emissions associated with clinker production, both
from calcination and fuel combustion. Artificial MICs are waste materials from other production
processes such as, e.g.for example, steel and coal-fired power production. Related GHG emissions are
monitored and reported by the corresponding industry sector. Utilization of these MICs for clinker or
cement substitution does not entail additional GHG emissions at the production site. Consequently, these
indirect GHG emissions are not included in the cement production inventory.
The basic mass balance methods used in this standarddocument are compatible with the 2006 IPCC
Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories issued by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
[4] [9]
Change (IPCC) ,) , and with the revised WRI / WBCSD Greenhouse Gas Protocol. . Default emission
factors suggested in these documents are used, except where more recent, industry-specific data has
become available.
[4]
The 2006 IPCC Guidelines introduced a Tier 3 method for reporting CO2 emissions from the cement
[4]
production based on the raw material inputs (see Vol. III, Chapter 2.2.1.1, Formula (2.).3). ). However, a
large number of raw material inputs and the need to continuously monitor their chemical composition
make this approach impractical in many cement plants. The different raw materials are normally
homogenized before and during the grinding process in the raw mill. The WRI / WBCSD therefore
recommended alternative methods for input-based reporting of CO emissions from raw material
2
calcination in cement plants. They rely on determining the amount of raw meal consumed in the kiln
system. In many cement plants, the homogenized mass flow of raw meal is routinely monitored including
its chemical analysis for the purpose of process and product quality control. The input methods based on
the raw meal consumed are already successfully applied in cement plants in different countries and seem
to be more practical than Tier 3 of the 2006 IPCC Guidelines .Reference [4]. They were included in the
Cement CO and Energy Protocol Version 3 (Simple Input Method A1 and Detailed Input Method A2,
2
[1]
7.2.1).) . This document provides a guidance on how to compare the GHG performance of other
companycompanies or plantplants within a sector level which is different from a methodology of the IPCC
National Inventory Guideline.
This document for the cement industry has been based on Reference [1].

Introduction
0.1 Overview of cement manufacturing process
Cement manufacture includes three main process steps (see Figure 1):
a) preparing of raw materials and fuels;
b) producing clinker, an intermediate, through pyro-processing of raw materials;
c) grinding and blending clinker with other products (“mineral components”) to make cement.
There are two main sources of direct CO emissions in the production process: calcination of raw
2
materials in the pyro-processing stage, and combustion of kiln fuels. These two sources are described
in more detail below. Other CO sources include direct GHG emissions from non-kiln fuels (e.g. dryers
2
for cement constituents products, room heating, on-site transports and on-site power generation),
and indirect GHG emissions from, for example, external power production and transports. Non-CO
2
greenhouse gases covered by the Kyoto Protocol, apart from carbon monoxide (CO) methane (CH ) and
4
nitrous oxide (N O), are not relevant in the cement context in the sense that direct GHG emissions of
2
these gases are negligible.
NOTE The non-CO greenhouse gases covered by the Kyoto Protocol are: methane (CH ), nitrous oxide (N O),
2 4 2
sulfur hexafluoride (SF ), partly halogenated fluorohydrogencarbons (HFC) and perfluorated hydrocarbons

(PFC).

emissions can be relevant if a cement company organization (used in this document) consumes large
quantities of certain types of fly ash or shale as raw materials entering the kiln.

The cement industry traditionally uses various fossil fuels to operate cement kilns, including coal,
petroleum coke, fuel oil and natural gas. Fuels derived from waste materials have become important
substitutes for conventional fossil fuels. These AFs include fossil fuel-derived fractions such as, for
example, waste oil and plastics, as well as biomass-derived fractions such as waste wood and dewatered
sludge from wastewater treatment. Furthermore, fuels which contain both fossil and biogenic carbon
(mixed fuels), like, for example, (pre-treated) municipal and (pre-treated) industrial wastes (containing
plastics, textiles, paper etc.) or waste tyres (containing natural and synthetic rubber), are increasingly
used.
Both traditional fossil and alternative fuels result in direct CO emissions through the kiln stack.

However, biomass and bioliquids are considered “climate change-neutral“ in accordance with IPCC
definitions. The use of alternative (biomass- or fossil-derived) fuels can, in addition, lead to important
emission reductions elsewhere, for instance from waste incineration plants or landfills.
Mineral components are natural and artificial materials with latent hydraulic properties. Examples
of MIC include natural pozzolana, blast furnace slag and fly ash. In addition, gypsum is within this
document labelled as MIC. MICs are added to clinker to produce blended cement. In some instances,
pure MICs are directly added to the concrete by the ready-mix or construction company. Use of MICs
leads to an equivalent reduction of direct CO emissions associated with clinker production, both from
2
calcination and fuel combustion. Artificial MICs are waste materials from other production processes
such as, for example, steel and coal-fired power production. Related GHG emissions are monitored
and reported by the corresponding industry sector. Utilization of these MICs for clinker or cement
substitution does not entail additional GHG emissions at the production site. Consequently, these
indirect GHG emissions are not included in the cement production inventory.
The basic mass balance methods used in this document are compatible with the 2006 IPCC Guidelines
for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories issued by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
[4] [9]
(IPCC) , and with the revised WRI / WBCSD Greenhouse Gas Protocol . Default emission factors

The 2006 IPCC Guidelines introduced a Tier 3 method for reporting CO emissions from the cement
2
[4]
production based on the raw material inputs (see Vol. III, Chapter 2.2.1.1, Formula (2).3 ). However, a
large number of raw material inputs and the need to continuously monitor their chemical composition
make this approach impractical in many cement plants. The different raw materials are normally
homogenized before and during the grinding process in the raw mill. The WRI / WBCSD therefore
recommended alternative methods for input-based reporting of CO emissions from raw material
2
calcination in cement plants. They rely on determining the amount of raw meal consumed in the kiln
system. In many cement plants, the homogenized mass flow of raw meal is routinely monitored including
its chemical analysis for the purpose of process and product quality control. The input methods based
on the raw meal consumed are already successfully applied in cement plants in different countries
and seem to be more practical than Tier 3 of Reference [4]. They were included in the Cement CO
2
[1]
and Energy Protocol Version 3 (Simple Input Method A1 and Detailed Input Method A2, 7.2.1) . This
document provides guidance on how to compare the GHG performance of other companies or plants
within a sector level which is different from a methodology of the IPCC National Inventory Guideline.
This document for the cement industry has been based on Reference [1].

FINAL DRAFT INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/FDIS 19694-3:2022(E)
Stationary source emissions — Determination of
greenhouse gas emissions in energy-intensive industries —
Part 3:
Cement industry
1 Scope
This document specifies a harmonized methodology for calculating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
from the cement industry, with a view to reporting these emissions for various purposes and by
different basis, such as, plant basis, company basis (by country or by region) or even international
group basis. It addresses all the following direct and indirect sources of GHG included:
— Direct GHG emissions [ISO 14064-1:2018, 5.2.4, a)] from sources that are owned or controlled by the
organization, such as emissions that result from the following processes:
— calcinations of carbonates and combustion of organic carbon contained in raw materials;
— combustion of kiln fuels (fossil kiln fuels, alternative fossil fuels, mixed fuels with biogenic
carbon content, biomass and bioliquids) related to either clinker production or drying of raw
materials and fuels, or both;
— combustion of non-kiln fuels (fossil fuels, alternative fossil fuels, mixed fuels with biogenic
carbon content, biomass and bioliquids) related to equipment and on-site vehicles, room heating
and cooling, drying of MIC (e.g. slag or pozzolana);
— combustion of fuels for on-site power generation;
— combustion of carbon contained in wastewater;
— Indirect GHG emissions [ISO 14064-1:2018, 5.2.4, b)] from the generation of purchased electricity
consumed in the organization’s ow
