Module 7 of 9 · A5 · Monitoring and reporting at an aluminium installation

1.What must be monitored

  1. CO2 from anode consumption (pre-baked anodes or Søderberg paste).
  2. CO2 from fuel-fired furnaces (holding, pre-heating, re-melting, annealing). Stationary only; vehicles are excluded.
  3. CO2 from heat and cooling used in the process, wherever produced.
  4. PFCs (CF4 and C2F6) from anode effects.
  5. CO2 from flue gas cleaning, for example soda ash.

These are added into one total. Include start-up, shut-down and emergencies.

SIMPLIFIED You do not need to monitor electricity or alumina for CBAM. Neither counts for aluminium.
