T-2C4-A-4 - Natural gas usage within magnesium industries

Definition

This emission source is defined by the IPCC in TBD.

Sustainability Category: Amber

This activity currently has moderate climate impact but may be necessary for urban functioning, with a clear pathway to decarbonization. While not yet climate-positive, this activity is actively improving the emissions profile and represents intermediate performance on the path to sustainability.

Transition Elements

This activity has the following mitigation options modelled as transition elements:

• T-2C4-TE-1 - Shift to electricity in magnesium industries
• T-2C4-TE-2 - Shift to biogas energy in magnesium industries

Activity Model

This emission source is modelled with Combustion as:
