CarbonFootprint is needed to calculate to find out carbon emission of LPG, Diesel and others fuel in India and Bangladesh. So Emission Factor (EF) is important to make the calculation of a certain amount of carbon in tCO2 per amount.
Mr. Nikolas there is no specific emission factor for LPG, Diesel like Grid Emission factor 0.98 tCo2/MWH [Source: CO2Baseline Database for the Indian Power Sector ]
If you do not have emissions factors applicable to your region, you can use IPCC (2006) default emission factors for LPG and Diesel, which can be found in the report available at this link:
http://www.ipcc-nggip.iges.or.jp/public/2006gl/pdf/2_Volume2/V2_2_Ch2_Stationary_Combustion.pdf
Please check in the Table 2.2 (pages 2.15 and 2.16) of the report.
CO2, CH4 and N2O emission factors for LPG and Diesel are provided in separate columns. You can SUM the three emissions factors to derive one emission factor (kg CO2 eq/TJ energy equivalent).
Global warming factors to convert CH4 and N2O to CO2 eq are: 25 and 298, respectively.
How to calculate latest CO2 Equivalent in terms of KgCO2 Eq per unit consumption of Diesel,Petrol,and LPG(Unit consumption in KG) for making Carbon Foot print report.
Can anybody help me.
you will get some idea-------check this link: low carbon life style by UNDP
Give some time one of my journal will published very soon about India Carbon Emission
@ Dr. Saurav Pratap
factors depends on what you are using for your transport as fuel. different fuel is having different factors according to country or general what you can get from various website.
Diesel, Kerosene, Petrol, Octane ............ you know all contains carbon number same as factor. some ref and idea you get from attached file
