♦ Category: Waste

IPCC: 4D2 - Wastewater Treatment and Discharge - Industrial Wastewater Treatment and Discharge
Sector: Industrial : Petroleum Marketing : Wastewater Treatment : Fugitives

♦ Activity: Fugitive emissions -

♦ Greenhouse gas: Methane ( CH4 )

► Year 1990 —

● Greenhouse gas emission estimate —

Amount: 0.262 tonne of CH4 Emitted (5.51 tonnes CO2 Eq.)
Basis: Compilation
Calculation: Speciation of Total Organic Gases (TOG) data into CH4
Reference: ARB (2007). 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 into CH4. California Air Resources Board.
