♦ Category: Energy

IPCC: 1B2 - Fugitive Emissions from Fuels - Oil and Natural Gas
Sector: Industrial : Manufacturing : Electric & Electronic Equip. : Fugitives

♦ Activity: Fugitive emissions -

♦ Greenhouse gas: Methane ( CH4 )

► Year 2014 —

● Greenhouse gas emission estimate —

Amount: 14.26 tonnes of CH4 Emitted (356.56 tonnes CO2 Eq.)
Basis: Compilation
Calculation: Speciation of Total Organic Gases (TOG) data into CH4
Reference: CARB (2015). California Emission Inventory Development and Reporting System Database (CEIDARS). CA Air Resources Board Staff queried CEIDARS for Total Organic Gases (TOG) emissions, and then speciated the results. California Air Resources Board.
