GB29447-2022
The norm of energy consumption per unit products of polysilicon and germanium
多晶硅和锗单位产品能源消耗限额
GB 29447-2022 is a current mandatory Chinese national standard for The norm of energy consumption per unit products of polysilicon and germanium. It appears in the Construction compliance cluster with a energy efficiency focus and has an implementation date of Jan 1, 2024.
Applicability depends on product scope, certification route, competent authority notices and transition rules. Requst for the translation or verify source before using this record in a compliance decision.
Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard applies to the energy consumption calculation and assessment for enterprises producing photovoltaic-grade polysilicon via trichlorosilane hydrogen reduction, as well as those producing high-purity germanium tetrachloride, germanium dioxide, zone-refined germanium ingots, and germanium single crystals. It is not applicable to electronic-grade polysilicon or polysilicon produced via the silane fluidized bed method. It also governs energy control for new, reconstructed, and expanded projects.
Technical requirements
The standard classifies the energy consumption limits for polysilicon and germanium products into three tiers, where Tier 1 represents the lowest energy consumption. Existing manufacturing facilities must comply with the Tier 3 limit values. For new, reconstructed, or expanded projects, the stricter Tier 2 limit values are mandated as the market access threshold. The standard also details the statistical boundaries, covering the entire production process from raw material input to finished product warehousing, including main, auxiliary, and affiliated production systems.
Testing methods
The standard outlines specific calculation formulas for the comprehensive energy consumption per unit product, measured in kilograms of standard coal equivalent (kgce). It includes provisions for adjusting energy consumption values when there are missing processes or external purchases/sales of raw materials and intermediate products. Reference coefficients for converting various energy sources and energy-consuming working fluids to standard coal are provided in the appendix, aligning with the principles of GB/T 2589.
FAQs
What products are regulated under GB 29447-2022?
It regulates photovoltaic-grade polysilicon and various germanium products including high-purity germanium tetrachloride, germanium dioxide, zone-refined germanium ingots, and germanium single crystals.
What are the differences between existing and new facilities?
Existing facilities must meet the Tier 3 energy consumption limits, while new, reconstructed, or expanded projects must meet the stricter Tier 2 limits.
Does GB 29447-2022 apply to electronic-grade polysilicon?
No, the standard explicitly excludes electronic-grade polysilicon and polysilicon produced via the silane fluidized bed method.
