Using the Equation K-1, K-3 Calculation Spreadsheet

Use the Equation K-1, K-3 Calculation Spreadsheet to calculate the annual CO2 and CH4 process emissions from an electric arc furnace. A separate spreadsheet is to be used for each furnace. Users should not use aggregated data from multiple furnaces in a single calculation spreadsheet. The Equation K-1, K-3 Calculation Spreadsheet performs the calculations using Equations K-1 and K-3, provided below (see calculation spreadsheet for definitions of variables). 

 

(Equation K-1)
(Equation K-3)

 

Begin by entering the facility name, your name, the furnace name or identifier, the reporting period and any additional comments in the green input cells of the General Information table located immediately below the equations in the calculation spreadsheet. This is for your records.

Next, enter the requested information in the green input cells of the input data tables.






The calculation spreadsheet will then calculate the annual CO2 and CH4 process emissions from this electric arc furnace. The calculated values will be displayed in red-bordered cells in the K-1, K-3 Results tables at the bottom of the spreadsheet. This value should be entered in e-GGRT for this furnace.
