Lime, an essential but unseen material
Lime is used in many products in everyday life: each EU
citizen uses around 150g per day
A versatile natural chemical used in many processes:
As a key enabling material for many
industries (e.g. steel, aluminium,
paper, glass, construction)
As a key product for environmental
applications (e.g. drinking water
treatment, flue gas cleaning, waste
water treatment)
As an essential mineral product, but
often unseen (e.g. toothpaste, sugar)

Why a GHG standard?
To support the on-going work of the lime sector to reduce GHG
emissions by:
1. Facilitating the measurement, testing and quantifying of
GHG emissions from lime manufacturing
2. Facilitating the comparison of GHG emissions performance
of a lime manufacturing plants over time
3. Facilitating performance comparisons between lime
manufacturing plants with different installation configurations
but producing comparable products

Verification test development
Findings from Round 1
Mass-balance-based method provided a reliable measure of GHG emissions with
relatively low uncertainty
Question about collection of all ROK in output method due to hang ups in silo
Unrepresentative measurement of stack gas flow
Check representative measurement of CO2 content using FTIR
Check low detection of methane <0.2% of total CO2e
Detection limits for some non-CO2 GHG with high Global Warming Potentials
Improvements for Round 2
Ensure product silos are empty before test start and fully cleared following test completion
Improve flow measurement position and increase frequency of measurement
Include measurement of CO2 by non dispersive IR (EN 15058) as well as FTIR
Include measurement of total VOCs (EN 12619) to confirm methane measurement
Extend sampling periods for non-CO2 GHG (PFCs & HFCs) to reduce detection limits

Verification test conclusions
The draft standard was found to satisfy the requirements for Accuracy, Transparency,
Consistency, Relevance, Completeness and practicality
The mass-balance-based input and output methods are workable, produce results in close
agreement and have reasonable levels of uncertainty, especially if conducted over 12
months
The suitability of the stack measurement method is primarily dependent on the ability to
make a representative measurement of the carbon dioxide content of the exhaust gas and is
especially sensitive to its flow rate
The stack measurement method requires sophisticated equipment, a high degree of
maintenance and often significant changes to the configuration of the flue gas pipes
The verification tests show that the stack measurement method is likely to be subject to
greater uncertainty than the calculation-based methods. For stack measurement compliance
with reasonable uncertainty levels is likely to remain a challenge even when permanent
measurement systems are optimised for plant characteristics
Excluding the non-CO2 GHGs, does not have a significant impact on the completeness of the
overall determination of GHGs
