BOX 9. RECALCULATION DUE TO NEW INFORMATION ON THE EMISSION FACTOR<br />
The local authority had used the standard emission factor provided in Table 4 to estimate the base year emissions<br />
from coal combustion in a local district heating plant. The emission factor was 0.341 t CO 2<br />
/MWh. In the monitoring<br />
year, the local authority asked the coal provider to give information on the carbon content and thus the emission<br />
factor, <strong>of</strong> the coal type provided. The coal provider informed the local authority that the emission factor <strong>of</strong> that<br />
coal type is 0.335 t CO 2<br />
/MWh, and that the same coal type has been provided to the city since many years.<br />
If the local authority started to use the new emission factor only since the MEI, it would gain benefit, as estimated<br />
emissions would be lower than in BEI even if the same amount <strong>of</strong> fuel would be used. Therefore, the local authority<br />
has to recalculate the BEI using the same emission factor that will be used in the MEI.<br />
