Notes: () The unit of carbon emission coefficients of “Coke-oven gas,” “other gases,” and “natural gas” is “ton carbon/ton standard coal equivalent” or “tC/tsce.” Carbon emission coefficient of natural gas comes from reference [35] and carbon emission coefficients of “coke-oven gas” and “other gases” are calculated according to the relationship between their calorific value and natural gas. () The unit of other energy’s carbon emission coefficient is “ton C/ton” or “tC/t.” It represents carbon emission from one tone physical quantity energy. Carbon emission coefficient = net calorific value × carbon content, net calorific value, and carbon content come from 2006 IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories [36]. Carbon content per unit coal is higher than oil, but its net calorific value is lower than that of oil, resulting in the carbon emission coefficient of coal being lower than for oil. We reference here the paper [37]. |
