Observations
According to Reports of the Carbon Emission of Convention on Climate Change
/ MCT, calculations of CO2 emission of liquid, solid and gaseous fossil combustion
were made based on a “top-down” methodology, developed by the IPCC
(Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), which considers that, once
introduced into national economy, in a given year, the carbon contained in the
combustible is either released into the atmosphere or retained in a specific manner
(i.e., through supply increase), by use in non-energetic products or its own
retention (partially inoxidated).
In calculating the CO2 emission, a balance is made involving a domestic primary
combustible, the liquid combustible import and internal supply variation of these
combustibles.

52 CO2 emission / By gaseous fossil combustibles
Unit
1000 t
Concept
Estimated volume of carbon dioxide emission (CO2) originating from natural
gas and refinery gas.

Panel on Climate Change), which considers that, once introduced into the national
economy, the carbon contained in the combustible is either released into the
atmosphere or is retained in a specific manner (i.e., through combustible supply
increase, by absorption of certain non energetic products or by its own retention
partially inoxidated). In calculating the CO2 emission, a balance is made involving
primary combustible domestic production, the liquid import of primary and
secondary combustibles internal variation of such combustible supplies.
