Iron & Steel
The Iron and Steel tool provides two methods for calculating CO2 emissions:
- Method 1: requires data on the quantities of reducing agents and blast furnace additives used, as well as the quantities of the carbonate fluxes introduced into the furnace.
- Method 2: requires data on the amount of iron or steel produced, as well as of the carbonate fluxes. The emissions calculation from either method can be adjusted to account for the export of carbon-bearing byproducts.
