● Greenhouse gas emission estimate —

Amount: 0 tonne of CO2 Emitted (0 tonne CO2 Eq.)
Basis: Calculation
Calculation: [Geothermal power] * [Geothermal CO2 emission]
Reference: CARB (2016). Technical support document on GHG inventory methodologies for the 2000-2014 inventory. See Discussion of emissions from geothermal power available at: https://ww3.arb.ca.gov/cc/inventory/pubs/reports/2000_2014/ghg_inventory_00-14_technical_support_document.pdf

● Activity level used in calculations —

Activity: Geothermal power = 0 btu of Geothermal
Basis: Data
Reference: Schnapp, R. (2008). Data request (data submittal) between CARB and Robert Schnapp of the Energy Information Administration. Summer 2008.
