Calculation method of carbon dioxide emission intensity from iron and steel production — Part 1: Steel plant with blast furnace

This document specifies calculation methods for the total annual carbon dioxide (CO2) intensity of the plant where steel is produced through a blast furnace. NOTE The steel plant is generally called “the integrated steel plant”. It includes boundary definition, material and energy flow definition and emission factor of CO2. Besides direct source import to the boundary, upstream and credit concept is applied to exhibit the plant CO2 intensity. This document supports steel producers to establish CO2 emissions attributable to a site. Conversion to energy consumption and to consumption efficiency can be obtained using Annex A.

Méthode de calcul de l'intensité de l'émission de dioxyde de carbone de la production de la fonte et de l'acier — Partie 1: Usine sidérurgique avec haut fourneau

Le présent document spécifie des méthodes de calcul de l'intensité en dioxyde de carbone (CO2) annuelle totale de l'usine où l'acier est produit dans un haut fourneau. NOTE Une usine sidérurgique est généralement appelée «usine sidérurgique intégrée». Il inclut une définition du périmètre, du flux des matériaux et de l'énergie, ainsi que le facteur d'émissions de CO2. Outre les importations directes vers l'intérieur du périmètre, les concepts d'émissions en amont et créditées s'appliquent pour mieux cerner l'intensité de l'émission de CO2 de l'usine. Le présent document aide les producteurs d'acier à déterminer les émissions de CO2 attribuables à un site. La conversion en consommation énergétique et en efficacité de consommation peut être réalisée à l'aide de l'Annexe A.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee
has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely
with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described
in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types
of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the
ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
ISO draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). ISO takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent
rights in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, ISO had not received notice of (a)
patent(s) which may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that
this may not represent the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at
www.iso.org/patents. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not

Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see www.iso.org/iso/foreword.html.
This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 17, Steel, Subcommittee SC 21, Environment
related to climate change in the iron and steel industry.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 14404-1:2013), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes are as follows:
— revision of Introduction, Terms and definitions, and default emission factors;
— addition and revision of some emissions sources;
— clarification of the difference between "Boundary" and "Site boundary";
— revision of the calculation method of by-product gas;
— addition of a new informative annex, Annex E on “Decarbonization strategies and its impact in CO
Calculation Method” to give guidance on future relevant emission source categories as new materials
and processes become widel
