What records does a Chandrapur cement plant need for coal from nearby mines?
Coal receipts by mine with weight, grade and lab results for heating value and carbon content, plus kiln feed and clinker made. Local coal is often high ash, so a lab result per lot gives a far better figure than a national default.
Records
- Weighbridge slips per rake or truck.
- Proximate and ultimate analysis per lot.
- Coal fed to the kiln and the captive power plant, separately.
Why per lot
Carbon content varies with ash. Using one default for all coal can over or understate fuel CO2.
Upstream
Mining and transport of the coal are Scope 3, category 3. Fly ash bought from power stations has its own rules.
What Senseible does here
Senseible reads fuel, electricity and freight invoices into a dated, fingerprinted record per site, so each figure you send a buyer traces back to the documents behind it.
