How much CO2 does a Dhanbad hard coke plant emit per tonne of coke?
Use a carbon balance: carbon in the coal charged, minus carbon leaving in coke, breeze and any tar sold, times 44/12. In non recovery ovens most volatile matter burns on site, so that carbon becomes your CO2. Test coal and coke for carbon instead of using a flat factor.
Records
- Coal charged per batch and its carbon content.
- Coke and breeze produced and their carbon content.
- Fuel used to start or heat ovens.
- Electricity bills.
Heat recovery ovens
If oven gas raises steam for power, the CO2 is the same but you buy less grid power. Count the burning once, in Scope 1.
Buyers
Coke itself is not a CBAM good, but foundries and steel mills that use it will ask for its footprint as a precursor or Scope 3 input.
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.
