The standard "Stationary source emissions - Determination of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in energy-intensive industries - Part 6: Ferroalloy industry" deals with the quantification of greenhouse gases (GHG) from the ferroalloy industry. This involves a metallurgical reduction process that results in significant carbon dioxide emissions. These emissions are the results of a carbothermic reaction which is intrinsic to the process. In ferroalloy production, ore, carbon materials and slag forming materials are mixed and heated to high temperatures for smelting. Smelting in an electric arc furnace is accomplished by conversion of electrical energy to heat.The heat is produced by the electric arcs and by the resistance in the charge materials. Emissions from the smelting process are therefore not to combustion emissions. This standard is to be used in conjunction with the standard "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 applying the rules for the harmonized methods.
