Fuel types

note

The FUEL_TYPES keyword is mandatory within the eCalc™ YAML file.

This part of the setup specifies the various fuel types and associated emissions used in the model. Each fuel type is specified in a list and the defined fuels can later be referred to the INSTALLATIONS part of the setup by its name.

The use of fuel can lead to one or more emission types, specified in EMISSIONS.

You can optionally specify a CATEGORY.

Format​

FUEL_TYPES:
  - NAME: <name_1>
    CATEGORY: <category_1>
    EMISSIONS: <emissions data>
  - NAME: <name_2>
    CATEGORY: <category_2>
    EMISSIONS: <emissions data>

Example​

This is a full example where there are 3 fuel type definitions, i.e., there are 3 different fuels defined that can be used in your INSTALLATIONS.

FUEL_TYPES:
  - NAME: fuel_gas # Name of this fuel, use this when referencing this fuel in the FUEL specification in the INSTALLATIONS part
    EMISSIONS:
      - NAME: CO2  # Name of the emission type
        FACTOR: 2.15 # kg/Sm3
      - NAME: CH4
        FACTOR: 0.00091 # kg/Sm3
  - NAME: flare_gas
    CATEGORY: FUEL_GAS
    EMISSIONS:
      - NAME: CO2
        FACTOR: 2.73
      - NAME: CH4
        FACTOR: 0.00024
  - NAME: diesel
    CATEGORY: DIESEL
    EMISSIONS:
      - NAME: CO2
        FACTOR: 2.7085 # kg/l - input diesel usage in l/d
