NAME

Description​

This can be used in three ways:

  • In EMISSIONS one or more emissions related to the use of fuel is specified as a list. Each emission entry is required to have a NAME and a FACTOR.
  • VENTING_EMITTERS of type DIRECT_EMISSION: To specify emission rates directly.
  • VENTING_EMITTERS of type OIL_VOLUME: To specify emission factors, i.e. calculate emissions as fractions of oil loading/storage volumes.

For fuels​

Format​

EMISSIONS:
  - NAME: <name>
    FACTOR: <factor>

Example​

For example, if you want to add CO2 emissions associated to the usage of a FUEL_TYPES you write the following:

EMISSIONS:
  - NAME: CO2
    FACTOR: 2.5  # [kg/Sm3]

For venting emitters (type: DIRECT_EMISSION, from eCalc v8.13)​

Note that the emission name is case-insensitive. The keywords NAME and RATE are required.

Format​

EMISSIONS:
  - NAME: <name>
    RATE: <emission rate>
  ...

Example​

EMISSIONS:
  - NAME: co2
    RATE:
      VALUE: 4
      UNIT: KG_PER_DAY
      TYPE: STREAM_DAY
  - NAME: ch4
    RATE:
      VALUE: 2
      UNIT: KG_PER_DAY
      TYPE: STREAM_DAY

For venting emitters (type: OIL_VOLUME, from eCalc v8.13)​

Note that the emission name is case-insensitive. The keywords NAME and EMISSION_FACTOR are required.

Format​

EMISSIONS:
  - NAME: <name>
    EMISSION_FACTOR: <volume to emission factor>
  ...

Example​

EMISSIONS:
  - NAME: co2
    EMISSION_FACTOR: 0.04
  - NAME: ch4
    EMISSION_FACTOR: 0.02
