Overview

EN 19694-1:2016 - Stationary source emissions: Determination of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in energy‑intensive industries - Part 1: General aspects is the umbrella European Standard that defines common principles, terminology and rules for quantifying GHG emissions from key heavy industries (steel & iron, cement, aluminium, lime and ferroalloys). It sets out harmonized methodological requirements to ensure accuracy, precision and reproducibility of GHG results used for reporting and verification.

Key Topics and Requirements

  • Scope & definitions: Common terms (CO2e, biogenic CO2, mass balance, activity data, KPIs) and organizational/operational boundary rules.
  • System boundaries: Guidance on defining facility, operational and organizational boundaries for consistent inventories.
  • Harmonized measurement methods:
    • Mass balance based methods for process and fuel-related emissions.
    • Stack emission measurement based methods for direct monitoring of flue gases.
  • Monitoring plans: Minimum content for monitoring plans (see Annex A) covering activity data, methods, QA/QC and reporting lines.
  • Sampling, analysis & labs: Reference to standards for sampling, lab competency, accreditation and required analytical methods.
  • Uncertainty assessment: Principles and procedures to quantify measurement and calculation uncertainty.
  • Reference factors: Use of Global Warming Potentials (GWP), process, electricity and fuel emission factors; treatment of biomass and mixed fuels.
  • Biomass considerations: Definitions, sampling and reporting rules to separate biogenic and fossil-derived CO2.
  • Verification & assurance: Requirements for third‑party verification/certification and data quality assurance (Annex C).

Practical Applications

  • Establishing compliant GHG inventories and site-level emission performance monitoring for energy‑intensive production sites.
  • Designing and documenting a robust GHG monitoring plan for regulatory reporting, emissions trading schemes or corporate sustainability programs.
  • Supporting third‑party verification by providing standardized, auditable methods and reference annexes.
  • Informing process optimization, carbon management, and comparison of emission performance over time.

Who uses this standard

  • Environmental and sustainability managers in steel, cement, aluminium, lime and ferroalloy plants
  • Emissions measurement teams and process engineers
  • Accredited testing laboratories and QA/QC specialists
  • Third‑party verifiers, auditors and national regulators

Related Standards

  • EN 19694 series - Parts 2–6 (sector‑specific standards for iron & steel, cement, aluminium, lime, ferroalloys)
  • EN ISO 14064‑1 (GHG accounting and reporting)
  • EN 14181, EN 15259, EN 15267 (automated system QA and measurement requirements)
  • EN ISO 13833 (radiocarbon methods for biogenic/fossil CO2 separation)

Using EN 19694-1:2016 ensures consistent, verifiable GHG accounting across energy‑intensive industries and supports regulatory compliance, emission trading and corporate climate reporting.
