Total Fuel Consumption from Non-renewables (Kjl): Coal - 1.22E+15, Natural Gas - 3.06E+14, Kerosene - 7.53E+11, FO2 - 3.75E+12, FO6 - 8.12E+12, E85 Ethanol - 6.164E+09, Gasoline - 4.446E+10, LNG - 1.30E+7, LPG - 1.370E+09,Diesel - 1.831E+11. f) Total fuel consumption used a combination of three recognized GHG determination spreadsheet tools: the Chicago Climate Exchange Spreadsheet is used for determining unit by unit CO2e emission (i.e. CO2, N2O and CH4) from generation for up to three different heat inputs or by CEMs inputs (gathered either from EPA’s CAMD web site or our internal generation data base) and N2O and CH4 factors and Carbon and Oxidation Factors are updated with the latest values from the Federal Code; on and of road mobile emissions are calculated using the latest version of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol’s Mobile Emission GHG Mobile Emission Calculating Tool (Version 2.5) using data gathered from facilities; and finally the consumed electricity is gathered from each facility and tallied using EPA’s Climate Leadership Simplified GHG Calculator (Version 3.2). Standard btu to joule and kwh to joule conversion factors were used to standardize the energy units. Heat rates for the various fuels were taken from the EPA’s Simplified GHG Reporting Tool when available and from various charts on the web site www.EngineeringToolBox.com if not specifically covered. g) Conversion factors were taken either from EPA’s Climate Leader Simplified GHG Calculator or from the following web site: www.RapidTables.com (which allows you to convert to different energy units with the click of a button)
