Which values does the emissions calculation provide?

Calculation according to HBEFA

 

  • Group 1 (well-founded measurement programs)

    CO (carbon monoxide), HC (hydrocarbons), NO2 (nitrogen dioxide), NOx (nitrogen oxide), PN (particle matters), fuel (fuel consumption) CO2 (carbon dioxide total and fossil)

    Note: In addition, the greenhouse gas potential (CO2 equivalent, CO2e or GWP [Global Warming Potentials]) is calculated. The CO2e value is calculated using CO2 (carbon dioxide total [factor 1]), N2O (dinitrogen monoxide; nitrous oxide [factor 298]) and CH4 (methane [Factor 25]).
    Example:
    CO2 total 255.56 kg, N2O 22.19 g, CH4 0.37 g
    Factors: CH4 x25, N2O x298
    Calculation: CO2e = 255.56 kg + (22.19 g x 298) + (0.37 g x 25) = 256.22 kg

  • Group 2 (supplementary measurement programs and literature research)

    Pb (lead), SO2 (sulphur dioxide), CH4 (methane), NMHC (non-methane), C6H6 (benzene), C7H8 (toluene), C8H10 (xylene)

  • Group 3 (indicative literature references)

    NH3 (ammoniac), N2O (nitrous oxide)

Calculation according to EN 16258

Note: Please note that for the calculation of emissions in accordance with EN 16258 the emission of CO2e is determined.
