IPCC: 1A2m - Fuel Combustion Activities - Manufacturing Industries and Construction - Non-specified Industry.
Sector: Industrial : Manufacturing

♦ Activity: Fuel combustion - Petroleum coke

♦ Greenhouse gas: Carbon dioxide ( CO2 )

► Year 2008 —

● Greenhouse gas emission estimate —

Amount: 6,486 tonnes of CO2 Emitted (6,486 tonnes CO2 Eq.)
Basis: Calculation
Calculation: [Fuel combustion] * [Heat content] * [Fuel CO2 emission]
Reference: IPCC (2006). 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories, Prepared by the National Greenhouse Gas Inventories Programme, Eggleston H.S., Buendia L., Miwa K., Ngara T., and Tanabe K.

● Activity level used in calculations —

Activity: Fuel combustion = 2,563 ton of Petroleum coke
Basis: Data
Reference: DATA NOT AVAILABLE - Value for this year was estimated assuming that it was the same as the average of values for 2011 to 2013.

● Parameters and Constants used in calculations —

Parameter: CO2 emission factor = 0.115 g / btu
Reference: DATA NOT AVAILABLE - Value for this year was estimated assuming that it was the same as the average of values for 2011 to 2013.
Parameter: Heat content = 24,800,000 btu / ton
Reference: DATA NOT AVAILABLE - Value for this year was estimated assuming that it was the same as the average of values for 2011 to 2013.

● Greenhouse gas emitted per unit activity (derived from values listed above) —

Amount: 2,530,592 g (i.e. 2.53 tonnes) of CO2 per ton of Petroleum coke
