greenhouse gas (GHG) Emissions intensitIES questionnaire: Facility-level

U.S. INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

sa.emissions@usitc.gov

You are receiving this questionnaire because your company has identified your facility as having produced covered steel and aluminum products in the United States in 2022. Your response will be treated as confidential and information from your response will only be referenced in a way that ensures anonymity. If your company did not produce steel or aluminum products in 2022, contact the team at the email address above.

The U.S. Trade Representative (Trade Representative) has requested that the U.S. International Trade Commission (Commission or USITC) generate estimates of the highest and average GHG emissions intensities for steel and aluminum products produced in the United States, which the Trade Representative states will inform discussions regarding the proposed Global Arrangement on Sustainable Steel and Aluminum. The products covered in this request are the steel and aluminum products noted in attachment B of the Trade Representative’s request letter, a list that corresponds with the scope of imported goods listed in Presidential Proclamations 9704 and 9705 of March 8, 2018 (83 Fed. Reg. 11619 and 83 Fed. Reg. 11625, respectively, both issued March 15, 2018).

In her request, the Trade Representative specified that the Commission use a survey of firms with facilities producing these steel and aluminum products in the United States, as well as external public data sources, to develop these emissions intensity estimates. In response, the Commission instituted this factfinding investigation (Inv. No. 332-598) and issued this questionnaire to collect information directly from the facilities producing the covered products.

Your facility is required by law to respond to this questionnaire.

Follow all instructions and submit your response to the web-based questionnaire

no later than xxx [approximately 60 days after OMB approval].

OMB number: XXX; Expiration date: XX/XX/XXXX

No response is required if a currently valid OMB control number is not displayed.

The Commission is requesting this information under the authority of section 332(g) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. § 1332(g)). Completing the questionnaire is mandatory, and failure to reply as directed can result in a subpoena or other order to compel the submission of records or information in your possession (19 U.S.C. § 1333(a)).

You can learn more about this investigation and the questionnaire at the following website: https://www.usitc.gov/saemissions. Contact the project team at sa.emissions@usitc.gov or at (202) 780-0230 with any additional questions.

Confidentiality

The Commission has designated the information you provide in response to this questionnaire as “confidential business information,” unless such information is otherwise available to the public. The Commission may aggregate the information you provide with information from other questionnaire responses. The Commission will not publish information obtained from your questionnaire or an aggregation of your and other questionnaire responses in a manner that would identify your company/facility or reveal the operations of your company/facility. Section 332(g) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. § 1332(g)) provides that the Commission may not release information that it considers to be confidential business information unless the party submitting such information had notice, at the time of submission, that such information would be released by the Commission, or such party subsequently consents to the release of the information. Note that, although the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) treats GHG emissions data it collects under the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP) as public, the various input and production data that are not reported by the EPA but are collected by the Commission in this investigation will be treated as confidential business information consistent with the explanation above.

Distinction between EPA Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program data collection and reporting thresholds and USITC data collection in this questionnaire

To fulfill the Trade Representative’s request for development of GHG emissions intensities for the steel and aluminum product categories specified in her letter, the Commission is collecting three broad types of data in this questionnaire:

1. Data inputs needed to generate facility-level estimates of scope 1 and 2 emissions related to the production of steel and aluminum and scope 3 emissions associated with the material and resource inputs for the production of steel and aluminum,

2. Production quantities of products produced at the facility, and

3. Data needed to allocate the emissions to different products if multiple products are produced at the same facility.

U.S. facilities from covered sources emitting 25,000 metric tons or more of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO₂e) of GHG emissions annually are required to report their scope 1 emissions to the EPA under the GHGRP on a yearly basis (40 C.F.R. §§ 98.2(a), 98.3(b)). To avoid redundant data collection, the Commission will not duplicate the data collection of the scope 1 emissions totals of GHGRP reporting facilities that have already provided these data to the EPA. The Commission will be collecting data inputs needed to generate scope 2 and scope 3 emissions, the production quantity of various steel and aluminum products at the facility, and any information needed to allocate the scope 1 emissions data reported under the GHGRP.

For facilities with emissions falling beneath the EPA’s 25,000 metric ton CO₂e annual GHG emissions GHGRP reporting threshold, the Commission has designed this questionnaire to gather data inputs relevant to the calculation of scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. The Commission has endeavored to collect these data inputs to allow for the calculation of scope 1 emissions totals that are consistent with totals that would be generated under the GHGRP reporting methodologies, to the extent practicable.

2. Entering information. Answer each question to the best of your abilities as it applies to your company or facility. Some questions require you to answer by using the provided checkboxes; others require a response to be typed into entry areas. The questionnaire automatically saves your response as you navigate through, and you can leave and return at any time (using the same questionnaire access procedures noted above) until you submit your response. You will have an opportunity to review your answers, edit them, and download a copy of your questionnaire response before submitting it. You must contact the project team to make any changes after you have submitted your questionnaire response.

3. Entering numeric data. Enter numeric data in actual units (as indicated within the question text)—not in thousands, millions, or other multiples of units. Do not add commas between digits or shorten the figure with a decimal point. For example, for 123.4 million short tons, enter "123400000" (do not enter "123400" or "123.4" or “123,400,000”).

4. Questionnaire structure. This questionnaire collects data for calendar year 2022, is composed of eight sections, and will be completed in two parts as follows:

1. Your company representative will have filled out, certified, and submitted your company’s response to the company-level questionnaire, identifying your facilities that produced covered steel or aluminum products in 2022. They were asked to provide a point of contact—including name and email—for each facility. This point of contact could have been the same person for all facilities or vary by facility.

2. Contacts for each facility in your response to the company-level questionnaire will receive an email from the Commission with a questionnaire token specific to that facility, a link to the questionnaire, and instructions on completing the facility-level questionnaire. If the point of contact is the same for multiple facilities, they will receive an email and questionnaire token for each facility.

Read and answer section 1 questions carefully because these responses will determine which questions you must complete in every section that follows. Much of the questionnaire contains material-specific or product-specific questions that will not be displayed to facilities that do not indicate they use those materials or produce specific products in section 1.

5. Submitting the questionnaire. After you have completed and reviewed all applicable sections, you may download a copy before submitting. Select the “submit” button to securely send your final response.

How to report information about your facility (sections 1.2 through 8)

Facility-level questionnaire. Each facility identified by the company will receive one questionnaire token to complete questionnaire sections 1.2 through 8. Information provided in each questionnaire should only apply to that facility. If individuals or departments within your facility will share responsibility for completing this questionnaire, please coordinate and combine their responses to submit one response per facility. This questionnaire is not intended for facilities that are only processors of steel or aluminum, other than those facilities that solely produce secondary unwrought aluminum from other forms of secondary unwrought aluminum and facilities that solely heat treat steel products.

Note: Section 4 requests information on facility-level purchases of U.S. energy attribute certificates for renewable or zero-emission energy such as renewable energy certificates (RECs). If your company purchases U.S. energy attribute certificates at a corporate level, please ensure each certificate is allocated to one and only one facility. Company-level coordination with facilities may be needed to ensure facilities can provide the detail requested in section 4 on U.S. energy attribute certificates.

Cradle-to-gate life cycle analyses are sometimes assessed to measure the greenhouse gas emissions of a product.

Decarburization—also known as argon oxygen decarburization (AOD), a process used to further refine the steel outside the electric arc furnace (EAF) during the production of certain stainless and specialty steels. In the AOD process, steel from the EAF is transferred into an AOD vessel, and gaseous mixtures containing argon and either oxygen or nitrogen are blown into the vessel to reduce the carbon content of the steel.

Direct line connection—a purchase of electricity by an organization through an electricity connection outside of the distribution grid. Examples of electric generation sources for direct line connections include generation facilities located at a central plant of a campus or other nearby building, or on-site generation facilities that are owned or operated by another organization.

An emergency generator operates only during emergency situations, for training of personnel under simulated emergency conditions, as part of emergency demand response procedures, or for standard performance testing procedures as required by law or by the generator manufacturer. A generator that serves as a backup power source under conditions of load shedding, peak shaving, power interruptions pursuant to an interruptible power service agreement, or scheduled facility maintenance shall not be considered an emergency generator (40 C.F.R. § 98.6).

Energy attribute certificate (EAC)—a category of contractual instrument that represents certain information (or attributes) about the energy generated but does not represent the energy itself. This category includes a variety of instruments with different names, including certificates, tags, credits, or generator declarations. Note: in this questionnaire, only the renewable energy certificates (RECs) or certificates representing your plant’s zero-emission attribute should be considered.

External source—any facility other than the facility responding to the questionnaire that produces materials and products used in the responding facility’s production. External sources include offsite facilities under different ownership, off-site facilities that share common ownership to the facility responding to the questionnaire, and facilities on-site that are not under the operational control of the facility responding to the questionnaire. The facility responding to the questionnaire may receive materials from external sources under a variety of arrangements, including purchases, transfers, or toll processing arrangements.

Fugitive emissions—intentional or unintentional release of greenhouse gases that may occur during the extraction, processing, transformation, and delivery of fossil fuels to the point of final use (e.g., methane and carbon dioxide releases from ventilation and degasification in coal mining; post-mining coal storage; leaks, venting, and flaring in natural gas systems).

Global warming potential (GWP)—ratio of time-integrated radiative forcing from the instantaneous release of one kilogram of a trace substance relative to that of one kilogram of a reference gas (i.e., CO₂). This questionnaire uses GWP definitions and ratios from the GHGRP, which are evaluated on a 100-year time horizon and are listed in Table A-1 to 40 C.F.R. § 98.

Greenhouse gas (GHG)—gases, both naturally occurring and generated from human-related activities such as household, commercial, and industrial applications and processes, that trap heat in the atmosphere.

Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP)—the EPA’s mandatory program established under 40 C.F.R. § 98. This program requires annual reporting of greenhouse gas (GHG) data and other relevant information from large GHG-emitting facilities, fuel and industrial gas suppliers, and CO₂ injection sites in the United States. Emissions data collected under this program from facilities are limited to select scope 1 emissions as defined in the regulation. Only U.S. facilities annually emitting over 25,000 metric tons (mt) of these emissions are required to report their emissions to the EPA under the GHGRP (40 C.F.R. §§ 98.2(a), 98.3(b)).

Hot briquetted iron (HBI)—a premium form of DRI that has been compacted at a temperature greater than 650 °C and has a density greater than 5,000 kilograms per cubic meter (5,000 kg/m³). Because of its compaction, HBI is less porous and, therefore, less reactive than DRI and does not suffer from the risk of self-heating associated with DRI. HBI can be used in EAFs, BOFs, or blast furnaces.

Hot rolling flat steel products—all processes occurring at a facility that are used to transform semifinished/crude steel into hot-rolled flat steel products.

SECTION 4. Purchased Energy

As with the entirety of your response, answers to the questions in this section will be treated as confidential business information. To download a copy of our confidentiality statement, click [here].

If your company operates multiple facilities and purchases U.S. energy attribute certificates (EACs) such as renewable energy certificates (RECs), coordination with a centralized company contact may be needed to complete this section. This section asks about some situations that are uncommon, such as whether any electricity is purchased through plant-specific contractual arrangements and whether electricity is supplied via direct line connections. If internal contacts familiar with your facility’s operations and energy procurement are not aware of these occurring, they probably do not apply to your facility. Similarly, if relevant internal contacts are not aware of any purchases of energy attribute certificates, they probably do not apply to your company. You may note any uncertainties about this information in question 4.6.

1. Report the quantity of electricity in megawatt-hours that your facility purchased in 2022. (Include electricity purchased from cogeneration units and electricity received from generators that are located on-site but operated by a third-party. If your facility also sold some electricity, report net purchases and report a negative value if your facility sold more electricity than it purchased.) ______________

[If 4.1 less than or equal to zero, skip to 4.7]

2. [If facility is in a zip code that does not map uniquely to one eGRID subregion]

   1. Select your facility’s eGRID subregion. If you do not know the eGRID subregion, look it up by entering your facility’s zip code into EPA’s Power Profiler (https://www.epa.gov/egrid/power-profiler#/, under “How clean is the electricity you use?”) and selecting your utility provider. {dropdown}

2. If your facility’s utility provider changed during 2022, list each of your other utility providers in 2022 along with the amount of electricity (in megawatt-hours) they delivered to your facility in 2022. ______________

3. 1. Does your facility use an emissions factor provided from a utility or from a retail energy supplier for the electricity it purchased from that supplier in 2022?

• Yes

• No

2. [If “yes” to Q4.3a] Can you confirm that the supplier’s emissions factor includes all electricity delivered by the supplier (not just electricity generated by the supplier) and does not double count renewable energy certificates (RECs) or other energy attribute certificates (EACs) that were sold to third parties or retired on behalf of customers?

• Yes

• No

3. [If “yes” to Q4.3b] What is the supplier’s emissions factor for delivered electricity (in metric tons of CO₂-equivalent emissions per megawatt-hour)? _________

4. [If “yes” to Q4.3b] How much electricity in megawatt-hours did you purchase from this supplier in 2022? (Exclude any purchases of electricity from this supplier that were bundled with energy attribute certificates that your facility retired or that were purchased separately in plant-specific contracts. (Those purchases will be reported in Q4.4 and 4.5.)) ______________

4.4

1. Did your company purchase U.S. energy attribute certificates (EACs) for renewable or zero-emission energy such as renewable energy certificates (RECs) that were retired for the year 2022 and may be associated with this facility’s operations?

• Yes

• No

2. [If “yes” to Q4.4a] List your facility’s purchases of U.S. energy attribute certificates (EACs) for renewable or zero-emission energy such as renewable energy certificates (RECs) in the table below, in groups by the tracking system that issued them (e.g., PJM’s Generation Attribute Tracking System, Midwest Renewable Energy Tracking System), whether they were bundled with electricity supplied via a direct line, and whether they were independently certified. You may be able to report all of your facility’s certificates as a single group. Only group and report certificates that your company retired or that were retired specifically on your company’s behalf (e.g., through a utility program) for 2022. Do not include RECs from your facility’s on-site generation reported in section 3.

Certificate group (Combine EACs with the same responses to the second through fourth columns into a single certificate group)	Which tracking system issued the certificates?	Are the certificates bundled with electricity supplied via a direct line connection? (yes/no)	Were the certificates independently certified? (yes/no)	How many EACs in this group were retired for 2022? (megawatt-hours)

Certificate group 2
Certificate group 3
Certificate group 4
Certificate group 5

3. [If “yes” to Q4.4a] If your facility retired more than five groups of U.S. energy attribute certificates (EACs) for 2022, provide information on your other certificates here. _______________________________________________________________

4. [If “yes” to Q4.4a] If your company has multiple facilities, check to confirm that none of the U.S. energy attribute certificates (EACs) reported above were covered in a different facility’s questionnaire or in other emissions reporting for your company’s other facilities such as environmental product declarations.

5. [If “yes” to Q4.4a] If your company has multiple facilities, describe how the U.S. energy attribute certificate (EAC) amounts listed above were allocated to this facility. _______________________________________________________________

SECTION 7. Other Information (OPTIONAL)

As with the entirety of your response, answers to the questions in this section will be treated as confidential business information. To download a copy of our confidentiality statement, click [here].

1. If your facility or company collects information on its GHG emissions at a corporate, facility, or product level and reports it publicly—e.g., in annual environmental, social, and governance (ESG) reports, environmental product declarations (EPDs), etc.—in a way that would be helpful to the Commission for the purposes of this investigation, paste links to these reports in the textbox below or attach these reports as PDFs here.

2. To the extent you have this information available, report the actual embodied GHG emission factors for covered material inputs that your facility received from external sources (regardless of common ownership) and used in the production of covered steel and aluminum products in 2022. Actual embodied GHG emission factors should correspond with the input categories and external sources covered in your responses to section 5 of the questionnaire. These emission factors should be based on suppliers’ measured (e.g., using a continuous emission monitoring system) or calculated (e.g., using a mass balance approach) GHG emissions attributed to the products they produce. Many facilities will not have access to such information from some or all of their suppliers, so reporting of this information is optional. The Commission will assess the use of such information along with other default scope 3 emission factors (e.g., published or third-party provided emission factors) based on the quality and comprehensiveness of the data received. As with other data collected in this questionnaire, the Commission will not use or publish this information if doing so would reveal confidential business information.

   1. Report the actual embodied GHG emission factors corresponding with the input categories and external sources covered in your responses to section 5 of the questionnaire. Each reported emission factor should include the following information:

• Input category: The material or product received by your facility as an input. Input categories should be based on the categories of inputs for which data was requested in section 5 of the questionnaire.

• External source: Identification of the source of those inputs covered by the emission factor. External sources should match those identified in section 5 of the questionnaire for corresponding inputs, or should be aggregates of those sources (e.g., all global sources).

• Unit of measure: Specify the unit of measure for inputs received from the source (e.g., metric tons or short tons for solid materials, standard cubic feet for gases).

• Emission factor: GHG emission factors should be reported in metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalents (mt CO₂e) per unit of inputs received by your facility.

• Share of inputs received: For each input category from a specific external source, report the share of inputs received from that source covered by the emission factor.

Input category	External source or source type	Unit of measure for inputs received from source	Actual embodied GHG emission factor for material received from source (metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalents per unit of measure)	Share of inputs received from this source covered by this emission factor (%)

2. In a PDF attachment, provide any additional emission factors not covered in your response to question 7.2a above using the same format as the table in that question. Also provide additional documentation related to all emission factors reported that should include:

• Whether scopes 1, 2 and 3 are included: Identify whether the reported emission factors include all emissions attributable to processes under your immediate suppliers’ operational control that generate direct combustion and process emissions (suppliers’ scope 1 emissions) as well as those upstream of your suppliers, such as your supplier’s purchases of energy (suppliers’ scope 2 emissions) and other material inputs (suppliers’ scope 3 emissions).

• GHG emissions included: Identify the specific greenhouse gases included within the measure of carbon dioxide equivalents. If gases other than carbon dioxide are included, specify the global warming potential (GWP) factors used to convert those gases into carbon dioxide equivalents. (The GWP factors under the GHGRP are available in table A–1 to subpart A of 40 C.F.R. § 98.)

• System boundary consistency: Identify whether the reported emission factors use consistent system boundaries and incorporate all cradle-to-gate processes used to produce the input (including the materials going into the input). Cradle-to-gate processes of interest to the Commission include those used to produce materials/products listed in questions 5.1.1–5.1.3 (for steel producers) or 5.2.1–5.2.3 (for aluminum producers); mining; and production of natural gas and coal.

• Specific inclusions/exclusions: To the extent practicable, identify whether the reported emission factors include or exclude emissions attributable to the following processes. If these processes are included, provide an estimate of the share of the emission factor accounted for by the inclusion of the process. (Characterization of this share as “negligible” or “<1%” is acceptable).

  • Site-to-site transportation

  • On-site use of mobile equipment

  • Mining of raw materials used in the production of the input

  • Fugitive emissions from the mining and production of natural gas and/or coal

  • Emission reductions or credits attributed to wastes, scrap, or byproducts (materials that are not economic drivers of the production process) produced during the manufacturing of the input

  • Emission credits attributed to the export of waste gases from the facility

  • Processing or distribution of scrap or waste

• Use of default emission factors: Report the estimated share of the reported embodied GHG emission factor that was based on the use of default upstream emission factors as opposed to measurement or calculation performed by your upstream supplier(s).

• Any additional explanation of the methods used to gather the reported embodied GHG emission factors, to the extent you believe it would be helpful to the Commission for purposes of understanding these data.

3. If you would like to explain any of your responses about your facility in this questionnaire, use the space below. As with all answers to this questionnaire, your explanation will be confidential and will be referenced only if we can ensure anonymity.
