CALCULATION METHODOLOGY
Global Fossil CO2 emissions :
Global fossil CO2 emissions: 36.2 ± 2 GtCO2 in The top four emitters in 2017 covered 58% of global
2017, 63% over 1990 CO2 emissions : China (27%), United States (15%), EU28
(10%), India (7%)
Global temperature variation :
These records clearly show that Earth has been heating up for Carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere are on the rise due
more than a century, and especially over the last 50 years. to the combustion of fossil fuels by humans. Global levels of CO2
Warmest years on record have occurred since 2001. passed 400 parts per million. The safe level of carbon dioxide in the
1951-1980 as baseline period atmosphere is 350 parts per million.
Global Fossil CO2 emissions by source:
Share of global fossil CO2 emissions in 2017: India CO2 emission mainly stem from coal combustion which has a
coal (40%), oil (35%), gas (20%), cement (4%), flaring (1%, not share of 68% in total fossil combustion emissions. India is rapidly
shown) deploying solar & wind power, coal continues to grow very strongly.
Greenhouse gas emissions mitigation:
• United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) dealing with GHG emission
mitigation, adaptation & finance where parties negotiated three climate deals—Kyoto Protocol
(Feb 2005) , Cancun Agreements (Dec 2010), and the Paris Agreement ( Dec 2015).
• Conference of the Parties (COP-21) summit, held during 30th Nov to 12th Dec 2015 at Paris,
Paris Agreement.
• Goal is to holding the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2°C above pre-
industrial levels (Year 1900).
• The agreement's language was negotiated by representatives of 196 state parties at COP21.
• Govt. of India committed to reduce GHG emissions as per India’s Intended Nationally
Determined Contributions (INDCs)
• Aim to reduce the emissions intensity of its GDP by 33 to 35 percent by 2030 (approx. 0.14
KgCO2/USD) from 2005 level(Approx 0.4 KgCO2/USD), presently at 2017 India has achieved
0.29KgCO2/USD)
Intended Nationally Determined Contributions vis-à-vis other countries:
India China USA EU
Reducing To reduce emission intensity of its To lower CO2 emission per
Emissions GDP by 33-35% by 2030 from unit GDP by 60% to 65% from
2005 levels. the 2005 levels.
• MoS had submitted its INDCs for reducing GHG emissions in Iron & Steel sector which inter alia
projects average Sp. CO2 emissions intensity to reduce from 3.1 TCO2/Tcs in the year 2005 to
2.64 TCO2/Tcs by the year 2020 and 2.4 TCO2/Tcs by the year 2030.
• CO2 emissions from the Primary steel making companies varies from 2.41 to 2.84 T/Tcs , which is
much higher than the global average (benchmark) of 1.9 T/Tcs (weighted average of primary and
secondary steel companies)
• Crude steel production through BOF route is 43% , EAF is 27 % and Induction Furnace is 30%. CO2
emission intensity (BF-BOF) route is 2.43 -3.0 TCO2/Tcs & Coal DRI-EAF: 3.0-3.2 TCO2/TCS &
Natural Gas based DRI-EAF : 1.4-2.1 TCO2/Tcs
• Technical Division of MoS, Government of India, vide office order no. 4(6)/2016-TD dated June 30,
2017, constituted a Task Force for time-bound reduction of GHG emissions.
CO2 emission methodology : ISO 14404
ISO14404 : CO2 emission for steelworks
• Indian primary steel plants adopts existing world steel association methodology for CO2 emission
calculation.
Methodology:
• Direct emission :
Scope 1 (Direct emissions from chimney) &
Scope 1.1 (Direct emissions of exported by‐product gas)
Upstream value of mining and transport is excluded from the system boundary.
Upstream value of petroleum products for oil refining is included.
Upstream CO2 value: sum of CO2 emitted during the production of each item
CO2 emission : Direct Emission factors
Scope 2 :
Total emission of exported by‐product gases is calculated in Scope 2 as the upstream emission factor which is
an electricity‐equivalent value will be used for calculating CO2 emissions of by‐product gases.
b. With undecided credits : CO2 intensity considering Slag & external credit.
CO2 emission : Estimating total carbon content from proximate analysis
Coals
Total carbon content, C = 100 ‐ Ash ‐ 0.47*Volatiles
Volatiles are considered as coke oven gas
(53% carbon by weight)
Coke
Total carbon content, C = 97.75 – Ash
