UNFCCC/CCNUCC CDM – Executive Board EB 41 Report Annex 11 Page 1 Methodological tool “Tool to calculate project or leakage CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion” (Version 02) I. SCOPE, APPLICABILITY AND PARAMETERS Scope and applicability This tool provides procedures to calculate project and/or leakage CO2 emissions from the combustion of fossil fuels. It can be used in cases where CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion are calculated based on the quantity of fuel combusted and its properties. Methodologies using this tool should specify to which combustion process j this tool is being applied. Parameters This tool provides procedures to determine the following parameters: Parameter SI Unit Description PEFC,j,y tCO2/yr CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion in process j during the year y II. BASELINE METHODOLOGY PROCEDURE CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion in process j are calculated based on the quantity of fuels combusted and the CO2 emission coefficient of those fuels, as follows: ∑×=ii,yi, j,yFC, j,yCOEFFCPE (1) Where: PEFC,j,y = Are the CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion in process j during the year y (tCO2/yr); FCi,j,y = Is the quantity of fuel type i combusted in process j during the year y (mass or volume unit/yr); COEFi,y = Is the CO2 emission coefficient of fuel type i in year y (tCO2/mass or volume unit) i = Are the fuel types combusted in process j during the year y The CO2 emission coefficient COEFi,y can be calculated using one of the following two Options, depending on the availability of data on the fossil fuel type i, as follows: UNFCCC/CCNUCC CDM – Executive Board EB 41 Report Annex 11 Page 2 Option A: The CO2 emission coefficient COEFi,y is...
