    Stationary Combustion Tool (Version4-1)

    Uploaded by

    hartini
    This tool calculates greenhouse gas emissions from combustion of fuels in stationary equipment by allowing the user to enter information about the type and amount of fuel burned. It uses default emission factors but the user can enter custom factors. The tool works without adjustment but the user can change global warming potentials or emission factors as needed. It accounts for different fuel types, sectors, and heating value bases to accurately calculate emissions in tonnes of CO2, CH4, N2O and total CO2 equivalent.

    This tool calculates the CO2, CH4 and N2O emissions from the combustion of fuels in boilers, fu

    stationary combustion equipment. It can be used by organizations from any sector.

    Most of the time, you need only supply information on the the type and amount of fuel burnt, as

    Fuels:
    Please select a fuel: Gas works gas
    Gas works gas covers all types of gases produced in public utility or private plants, whose m
    manufacture, transport and distribution of gas. It includes gas produced by carbonization (in
    coke ovens and transferred to gas works gas), by total gasification with or without enrichme
    (LPG, residual fuel oil, etc.), and by reforming and simple mixing of gases and/or air. It excl
    gas, which is usually distributed through the natural gas grid.

    Sectors:

    Please select a sector: Energy

    Fuel extraction or energy-producing industries. Examples include public utilities and petrole
    industries that generate secondary and tertiary products, such as charcoal, from solid fuels.

    perform other conversions, the online tool at www.onlineconversion.com may be helpful.

    general rule, HHVs are used in Canada and the USA, and LHVs are used elsewhere; however
    may occur. Before emissions can be calculated properly, the fuel consumption data and corres
    must be expressed in the same way - either on a HHV basis or on an LHV basis, but not both.
    indicate the heating value basis that underlies any energy data you supply. This will not happe
    use data on a mass or volume basis.
