| Section 1: Input Variables for Emissions Estimates |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The IPCC Method uses an emissions factor based upon the AE Minutes (the product of AE Frequency and AE Duration) and a slope coefficient. This emissions factor is applied to the estimate of the aluminum production, yielding the emissions. We appreciate any information that you can provide to the following table, as it will aid in making emissions estimates consistent among all the Partners. If your smelter uses an alternate emissions estimation method, we welcome any additional information that you can provide. |

| Section 3: Emissions Reductions Activities |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Please provide information regarding reduction activities. This information is helpful in estimating the timing, costs, and efficacy of the various components of emission abatement strategies. Examples of reduction activities include equipment retrofits, process control upgrades, and specialized employee training programs. For specific activities please provide, where possible, its start date, end date, and associated costs. In-progress activities or planned projects can also be included. |

| This form lists the time series of data used in estimating PFC emissions and a profile of the Partner's progress toward fulfilling its Commitment. The numbers correspond to the values reported by the Partner in past communications. Blanks indicate years for which a value is not available. In those cases, default values from IPCC guidance documents or the relevant literature have been used. Please verify the information that is listed and fill in as many blanks as possible. Any values that that you can provide will help to improve the quality and consistency of our emissions reductions calculations. |
