Alternative Method to Determine the CO2 Emission Factors and Inferior Calorific Values of Natural Gases

CO2 emissions trading requires certain properties of a fuel (e. g. natural gas), such as specific CO2 emission factor and inferior calorifi c value, to be determined very accurately so that the quantity of CO2 emitted may also be determined in a reliable manner. The paper presents a new calculation method as an alternative to the standard method. The alternative method uses the properties superior calorifi c value, normal density and CO2 mole fraction usually required in gas billing to calculate the relevant data. The method is particularly useful where no full gas analysis is available, for example, where gas quality tracking systems are used.

Die innerstaatliche Umsetzung des Pariser Klimaschutzübereinkommens - ein Rechtsvergleich
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (8/2024)
Like all public international law treaties, the Paris Climate Accords rely on national law for their implementation. The success of the agreement therefore depends, to a large extent, on the stepstaken or not taken by national governments and legislators as well as on the instruments and mechanisms chosen for this task. Against this background, the present article compares different approaches to the implementation of the Paris Agreement, using court decisions as a means to assess their (legal) effectiveness.
