The ignition of fuels in stationary (non-transport) sources, such as industrial boilers, heaters, and furnaces within businesses, is categorized as stationary combustion. This fuel-burning process emits greenhouse gasses (GHGs) such as methane (CH₄), carbon dioxide (CO₂), and nitrous oxide (N₂O) into the atmosphere. The major chunk of GHG emissions is stationary combustion, CO₂ is a prime constituent of these GHGs and it is a significant contributor to climate change. Boilers, thermal oxidizers, and any other equipment or gear that combusts carbon-carrying fuels or waste stream materials are all sources of emissions from stationary combustion.

A significant portion of the energy utilized by industries is derived from the combustion of fossil fuels, primarily occurring in stationary combustion processes. It’s too crucial to account for these GHG emissions. Industries are unable to properly address the net zero emission targets unless they quantify and measure the greenhouse gas emissions from these activities.

While there are many sources related to stationary emissions, a few of them are listed below.

Points to be noted while reporting for the Stationary Combustion :-

1. The industry must determine and disclose the total quantity of fossil fuels used in the operation.
2. Biomass fuels and CO₂ emissions are regarded as biogenic emissions, businesses are required to declare their biogenic carbon emissions separately.
3. The primary carbon report should require the reporting of CH₄ and N₂O emissions from biomass fuels.
