The Analysis of CO₂ Emissions and Reduction Potential in China’s Transport Sector

Table 3

The CO₂ emission coefficients and fractions of carbon oxidized of different energy types.

Fuel	= CO2 emission factors, Kg CO2/Kg	= fractions of carbon oxidized, %
Coal	2.53	90
Coke	3.14	93
Crude oil	2.76	98
Fuel oil	2.98	98
Gasoline	2.20	98
Kerosene	2.56	98
Diesel oil	2.73	98
Natural gas	2.09	99
Electricity	0.90	—

Note: this study follows the assumption that the generation of electricity comes from the coal-fired entirely. The CO₂ emission factor of electricity is calculated by utilizing life-cycle assessment in coal-to-energy chains.
