Waste Coal Production & Processing

← Previous | Next →

Parameters related to the emission factors for the production and processing of waste coal are shown on the Waste Coal Production & Processing parameter screen.

All emission factors on this screen are expressed as units CO2 equivalent per unit fuel.

This screen is only shown when waste coal is used as a fuel. There may be up to three instantiations of this screen, depending on how many waste coals are used in the blend. The title of the screen will indicate which fuel is being referenced, e.g. Fuel 1 (Waste Coal) Production & Processing.

The following parameters are available:

•Waste Coal Type: Waste Coal is currently the only option.

•Fuel Extraction:

•Total Emissions: This is the total emission factor for waste coal extraction, expressed as units CO2 equivalent per unit fuel. It is highlighted in yellow.

•Fuel Processing:

•Total Emissions: This is the total emission factor for waste coal processing, expressed as units CO2 equivalent per unit fuel. It is highlighted in yellow.
