DIN EN 19694-5:2016-10

The standard "Stationary source emissions - Determination of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in energy-intensive industries - Part 5: Lime industry" provides a harmonized methodology for calculating GHG emissions from the lime industry. It includes the manufacture of lime, and any downstream lime products manufactured at the plant, such as ground or hydrated lime. This standard allows for reporting of GHG emissions for various purposes and on different basis, such as plant basis, company basis (by country or by region) or international organization basis. Since lime is defined as the generic name for quicklime, dolime and sintered dolime, plants manufacturing at least one of these products shall be covered by this standard. This standard is to be used in conjunction with "Stationary source emissions - Determination of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in energy-intensive industries - Part 1: General aspects", which deals with general aspects and is a general, overarching standard. It contains general requirements, definitions and rules for the determination of GHG emissions for all energy-intensive sectors, which also applies to the aforementioned standard, regulates common methodological issues and specifies the details for application of the rules for the harmonized methodologies.
