This data point measures the total direct carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions from industrial processes only within your operations during the reporting year, expressed in metric tonnes (t).
These emissions come from chemical or physical processes, not from burning fuels for energy. Examples include chemical reactions in cement production, calcination in lime manufacturing, or CO₂ released during metal refining.
It is reported separately from stationary combustion (e.g., boilers, furnaces) and mobile combustion (e.g., vehicles, machinery), which are covered by other data points.
What to include:
Only CO₂ emissions from industrial processes, such as:
Cement clinker production
Lime and glass manufacturing
Metal smelting and refining
Ammonia, hydrogen, and other chemical production
Carbonates decomposition
Emissions from owned or controlled facilities
Calculated using direct measurements or process activity data × approved emission factors
What not to include:
Emissions from stationary combustion of fuels (boilers, generators, heaters)
Emissions from mobile combustion (company vehicles, machinery)
Other greenhouse gases (CH₄, N₂O) — these are covered in total GHG CO₂e reporting
Scope 3 process emissions outside operational control
Estimation Methodology:
If full-year process emission data is unavailable:
Gather actual monitored data for available months
Calculate the monthly average
Multiply by the number of missing months
Apply process-specific emission factors if data is in terms of production volumes
Clearly note the estimated portion in your records
