1)
Sources of emissions include oil and gas production, processing, and
distribution; coal mining; and utility and site combustion. Carbon Dioxide
equivalent units are calculated by converting methane emissions to carbon
dioxide emissions (methane's global warming potential is 23 times that of
carbon dioxide). 2) Refers to emissions of electricity generators
attributable to the buildings sector. |
