Scope

What are the emission factors for burning processes in Finland? D↷

Definition

Emission factors for burning processes is an impact assessment that take a wide perspective over environmental issues that can dealt with on a city level

See discussions with the statements in the discussion page.D↷

Data

In Finland there are about 700 kettles that has under 5MW fuel power. Same amount is between 5 to 50 MW kettles and over 50 MW kettles there are 200 in Finland. One heating power plant can have several kettles. Many 5-50 MW power plants has also less than 5 MW kettle. [1]

Emission factors for PM

Next table includes emission factors for small power plants in Finland. [2]

NB

BIO = biofuel, whose carbon dioxide emissions are not counted in the total emission amounts of Finland's greenhouse gases, nor are they taken into account in emissions trading.

1) CO2 factor of mixed fuels is an estimate taking into account only the share of fossil carbon.

2) Gasified waste (Product gas) is reported in the fuel categories of the source materials of gasification.

Calorific values and emission coefficients describe the properties of fuel as fired, inclusive of moisture content (except for 313, where the measurement unit is tonnes of dry matter). Calorific value of natural gas has been specified in normal conditions (0 °C and 1.013 bar).

Emission factors are updated when necessary.

(* Revised values.


Emission factors for district heating is calculated in Motiva CO2 emission calculation introductions[5]. For district heating joint production emission factor is 220 kg CO2/MWh. In this view other GHGs (CH4 or N2O) are not taken account as CO2-ekv! Emission factors by fuel based on Motiva knowledge is in table 2.

Table 2. Emission factors of CO2 by fuel[6].

Fuels kg CO2/MWh
Heavy oil 279
Light oil 267
Gas 202
Fluid gas 227
Peat 382
Coal 341
Coke 389
Wood 0


CO2 EF for electricity can be classified in two categories: purchase electricity and own production. EF for purchase electricity is the same as own electricity vendor has informed or average Finnish electricity procurement CO2 EF (= 200 kg CO2/MWh). EF for own electricity production can be used EF from table 2 (fuel based EFs). If electricity is produced in combined electricity, heating production EFs are calculated with “benefit division method”. Method is explained in Motiva introduction[7] (attachment 2).


Table 4. Average emission factors measured with differed gas analyzator (kk) and FTIR analyzator [8].

Ordinary combustion Distribution (%) Bad combustion Distribution (%) Unit
Temperature of gas 253 1 159 17 Celsius
CO2 (kk) 7.3 5 11 8 %, dry
O2 (kk) 13.3 3 8.7 14 %, dry
H2O (FTIR) 6.5 4 7.7 - %, wet
CO (kk) 2300 10 8100 29 mg/MJ
CO (FTIR) 2000 11 5700 - mg/MJ
OGC (kk) 120 17 1700 46 mg C/MJ

CH4 (FTIR) 30 22 350 - mg C/MJ
C6H6 (FTIR) 20 27 210 - mg C/MJ


Table 5 and 6 are from Heljo et al 2005[9]. Coefficient of CO2-ekv/CO2 as 1.02 is used in transformation CO2 emission factors to CO2-ekv. factors for electricity and district heating.

Data that have another unit than mg/MJ should be changed.

e.g. t/TJ -> mg/MJ
