1 Burning oil is also known as kerosene or paraffin used <strong>for</strong> heating systems. Aviation Turbine fuel is a similar kerosene fuel specifically<br />
refined to a higher quality <strong>for</strong> aviation.<br />
2 CNG = Compressed Natural Gas is usually stored at 200 bar in the UK <strong>for</strong> use as an alternative transport fuel.<br />
3 Average emission factor <strong>for</strong> coal used in sources other than power stations and domestic, i.e. industry sources including collieries, Iron &<br />
Steel, Autogeneration, Cement production, Lime production, Other industry, Miscellaneous, Public Sector, Stationary combustion -<br />
railways and Agriculture. Users who wish to use coal <strong>factors</strong> <strong>for</strong> types of coal used in specific industry applications should use the <strong>factors</strong><br />
given in the UK ETS.<br />
4 This emission factor should only be used <strong>for</strong> coal supplied <strong>for</strong> electricity generation (power stations). Coal supplied <strong>for</strong> domestic or<br />
industrial purposes have different emission <strong>factors</strong>.<br />
5 This emission factor should only be used <strong>for</strong> coal supplied <strong>for</strong> domestic purposes. Coal supplied to power stations or <strong>for</strong> industrial<br />
purposes have different emission <strong>factors</strong>.<br />
6 Fuel oil is used <strong>for</strong> stationary power generation. Also use these emission <strong>factors</strong> <strong>for</strong> similar marine fuel oils.<br />
7 Gas oil is used <strong>for</strong> stationary power generation, by off-road and agricultural vehicles (<strong>for</strong> which use it is known as 'red diesel') and 'diesel'<br />
rail in the UK. Also use these emission <strong>factors</strong> <strong>for</strong> similar marine diesel oil and marine <strong>gas</strong> oil fuels.<br />
8 LNG = Liquefied Natural Gas, usually shipped into the UK by tankers. LNG is usually used within the UK <strong>gas</strong> grid, however it can also<br />
be used as an alternative transport fuel.<br />
9 Emission <strong>factors</strong> calculated on a Gross Calorific Value basis<br />
