What is meant by emission factor?
An emissions factor is a representative value that attempts to relate the quantity of a pollutant released to the atmosphere with an activity associated with the release of that pollutant.
How is CO2 emission factor calculated?
Carbon dioxide emissions per therm are determined by converting million British thermal units (mmbtu) to therms, then multiplying the carbon coefficient times the fraction oxidized times the ratio of the molecular weight of carbon dioxide to carbon (44/12). 0.1 mmbtu equals one therm (EIA 2019).
How do you calculate gas emissions?
Calculate the emission rate by using this method: Mass Emission rate (lb/hr) = Emission factor (lb/unit) x capacity (unit/hr)
What are the different types of emissions?
There are many sources of emissions. These have been grouped into four categories: point, mobile, biogenic, and area.
What is the emission factor for diesel fuel?
2 Fuel-Specific Greenhouse Gas Emission Factors
| Fuel | Carbon emission factor (tC/TJ) | Carbon emission factor (tCO2/TJ) |
|---|---|---|
| Gas/diesel oil | 20.2 | 74 |
| Residual fuel oil | 21.1 | 77 |
| LPG (liquid petroleum gas) | 17.2 | 63 |
| Ethane | 16.8 | 62 |
What are the three types of emission?
1. Thermionic emission 2. Photoelectric emission 3. Field emission 4.
What are the main types of emissions?
How many types of emissions are there?
There are many types of radiation and radioactive emissions. The information we are providing discusses only the four most common types: alpha particles, beta particles, gamma rays, and x rays.
How do you calculate CO2 from diesel?
One litre of diesel corresponds to 2.68kg of CO2. So you can simply multiply your litres by 2.68 to get to your kilograms of CO2.
