This part of ISO 14404 specifies calculation methods which companies using EAF to manufacture steel
can use to evaluate the total annual carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and the emission factor of CO2 per
unit of steel production of the entire steel production process. This part of ISO 14404 is applied to the
plants that produce mainly carbon steel.
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 part of ISO 14404 supports the steel producer to establish CO2 emissions attributable to a site. This
part of ISO 14404 cannot be used to calculate benchmarks or to compare CO2 intensities of production
processes that are operated inside the site.
Conversion to energy consumption and to consumption efficiency can be obtained using Annex A.
