The greenhouse gas emissions have grown in Kuopio from 1990. They're about the same as the emissions in other cities the same size. The most important sources of greenhouse gases are the district heating used to warm houses, other use of electricity, other use of fuels (the energy production of industry and fuels of construction vehicles) and traffic. The greenhouse gas emissions grow, if active operations to limit emissions from the traffic, the optimizing energy consumption and increasing the amount of renewable energy sources used aren't taken into action. <ref name="kpo"> Kuopion ilmastopoliittinen ohjelma 2009-2020, The programme of climate politics in Kuopio 2009-2020 (in Finnish) [http://www.google.fi/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=kuopion%20ilmastopolitiikka&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CCYQFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kuopio.fi%2Fc%2Fdocument_library%2Fget_file%3Fuuid%3Dab67c50a-9558-423c-951e-fd96cf1aaabf%26groupId%3D12141&ei=qUIXT7nPAsHSsgblw7wv&usg=AFQjCNElyMDB8C6ptGX9J1roJtGrNTzlnQ&sig2=Wtcy-0VSLt02BzxKzgWcfA&cad=rja]</ref> | |||

Question
What are the greenhouse gas and PM emissions in Kuopio?
Answer
For calculating the emissions of district heating of buildings, following is needed:
- Heat consumption of buildings in Kuopio (Energy consumption of heating of buildings in Kuopio). Alternatively, heat production by Haapaniemi energy plant (Haapaniemi energy plant in Kuopio)
- Fractions of fuels used by Haapaniemi energy plant (Fuels used by Haapaniemi energy plant)
- Emission factors for CO2 and PM (Emission factors for burning processes)
- Scenario for heat consumption of buildings and fractions of fuels used by Haapaniemi in 2020 (Climate change policies in Kuopio)

The most important sources of greenhouse gases are the district heating used to warm houses, other use of electricity, other use of fuels (the energy production of industry and fuels of construction vehicles) and traffic.
