T-2A1-A-2 - Coal usage within cement and minerals industries
Definition¶
This emission source is defined by the IPCC in TBD.
Sustainability Category: Red¶
This activity significantly contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and undermines climate mitigation efforts. The activity should be phased out or fundamentally transformed, with financing directed toward decommissioning, replacement with sustainable alternatives, or radical decarbonization where elimination is not immediately feasible.
Transition Elements¶
This activity has the following mitigation options modelled as transition elements:
- T-2A1-TE-1 - Shift to use biofuel in cement and mineral industry
- T-2A1-TE-2 - Shift to electricity in cement and mineral industry
Activity Model¶
This emission source is modelled with Combustion as:
