cogeneration and other power plant equipment. ESB
commercializes these sets through sales, design and
construction of turnkey power plant solutions and
in some cases operates the plant after construction
and maintains some equity ownership in the project.
Cummins measures the fuel consumption and
emissions in support of the Climate Leaders
initiative where the company manages the complete
operations and maintenance services.
At the Findlay, Ohio facility, Cummins injects SF 6
into sealed gas bags which are sold as product, a
process which results in fugitive SF 6 emissions. This
process will be discontinued in mid-2008. Other
fugitive emissions are associated with use of CO 2
gas as a welding shield systems and refrigerant loss
typical through use of heating, ventilation and air
conditioning systems.
Indirect Sources
The inventory includes consumption of electricity,
which is used by all facilities. It also includes
purchased steam consumption from one facility in
China and purchased hot water consumption from
one facility in Romania.
Optional Sources
The inventory does not include any optional
(Scope 3) emission sources.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions Calculations
Indirect emissions calculations from electricity use
take into account the carbon intensity of the fuel
and technology used to generate the power. A
determination of the electricity emissions in the U.S.
was made using emission factors from the EPA
eGRID emissions database. All other greenhouse
gas emissions are calculated using emission
quantification methodologies taken from the Climate
Leaders Greenhouse Gas Inventory Protocol: Core
Module Guidance documents for the appropriate
emissions sources. These factors are kept up to
date by reviewing any revisions to Climate Leaders
guidance documents.
