IPCC: 1A2f - Fuel Combustion Activities - Manufacturing Industries and Construction - Non-Metallic Minerals
Sector: Industrial : Manufacturing : Stone, Clay, Glass & Cement : Cement

♦ Activity: Fuel combustion - Distillate

♦ Greenhouse gas: Carbon dioxide ( CO2 )

► Year 2000 —

● Greenhouse gas emission estimate —

Amount: 4,847 tonnes of CO2 Emitted (4,847 tonnes CO2 Eq.)
Basis: Calculation
Calculation: [Fuel combustion] * [Heat content] * [Fuel CO2 emission]
