♦ Category: Industrial Processes and Product Use
| IPCC: |
2G4 - Other Product Manufacture and Use - CO2, Limestone or Soda Ash consumption |
| Sector: |
Industrial : Not Specified |
♦ Activity: Limestone and dolomite consumption -
♦ Greenhouse gas: Carbon dioxide ( CO2 )

● Greenhouse gas emission estimate —
| Amount: |
207,029 tonnes of CO2 Emitted (207,029 tonnes CO2 Eq.) |

Calculation |
| Calculation: |
[US CO2 emissions from limestone and dolomite use] * [California consumption of limestone and dolomite] / [US consumption of limestone and dolomite] |
