The conference on “Greenhouse gas emissions in energy-intensive industries” will bring together experts from industry, academia and authorities involved in the quantification of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of industry.

The event will create a European forum to present and discuss the results of CEN standardization work on GHG emissions in five energy intensive industries: steel and iron, cement, aluminum, lime and ferroalloy production, in the context of EU climate and industrial policies.

Information will be given on the standardization process, especially the start of the enquiry procedure and the main results of the verification exercise (field tests) for the draft standards. The acceptance of the standards on an international (ISO) level will also be promoted.

Topics for discussion at the conference could be of interest also for international participants : strengthening the competitiveness of the industry in the context of climate and energy policies, benchmarking and performance assessment with the help of GHG standards, international aspects, energy efficiency, action of energy intensive industries under the future international climate agreement and international sectoral agreements.
