Industrial Processes
GHG emissions released as a direct by-product of industrial chemical and metallurgical reactions, not including the combustion energy used to drive them (which falls under Fuel Combustion). Covers mineral processing (cement clinker calcination), metal production (iron/steel reduction, aluminium smelting, copper smelting), and chemical and polymer synthesis. Corresponds to IPCC Sector 2 IPPU sub-sectors 2.A Mineral Industry, 2.B Chemical Industry, and 2.C Metal Industry.
