Data quality checks
2. Data Mapping for Input Parameters:
Energy data availability
• Limited data available for
– pollution abatement technologies for
power plants
– population with access to electricity
– non-fossil fuel/renewable energy
sources
– electricity consumption data for
transport, own-use, and losses
– heat rate data
• Aggregated data for fossil fuels,
lumped under “thermal” energy
– e.g. China, Pakistan, and India
• Lack of local values for data
needed to calculate emission
factors
– i.e. combustion efficiency, heating
value, combustion factors, calorific
values, etc.
