♦ Category: Energy

IPCC: 1A1aii - Fuel Combustion Activities - Energy Industries - Main Activity Electricity and Heat Production - Combined Heat and Power Generation (CHP)
Sector: Electricity Generation (In State) : CHP: Commercial

♦ Activity: Fuel combustion - Landfill gas

♦ Greenhouse gas: Carbon dioxide from biogenic sources ( CO2 )

► Year 2004 —

● Greenhouse gas emission estimate —

Amount: 0 tonne of CO2 From biogenic materials (0 tonne CO2 Eq.)
Basis: Calculation
Calculation: [Fuel combustion] * [Heat content] * [Fuel CO2 emission]
