powersimdata.network.constants.carrier.emission module

class powersimdata.network.constants.carrier.emission.EUEmission

Bases: object

Emissions for each thermal technology in EU grid model.

For carbon emission, numbers for both MWh electric to kilogram of CO₂ and MBtu of fuel per hour to kilograms of CO₂, are calculated using Table 23 located in p.52 of the CO2 Emission Factors for Fossil Fuels - Update 2022 report:

• OCGT and CCGT from tCO₂/TJ value in row Natural Gas, Germany 2015

• coal from tCO₂/TJ value in row Raw hard coal (power stations, industry), 2015

• lignite from tCO₂/TJ value in row Public district heating stations, Germany, 2015

• oil from tCO₂/TJ value in row Diesel Fuel, Germany, 2015

For NO_x emission, see the Technology Data for Generation of Energy and District Heating page from the Danish Energy Agency located here. The 2015’s NO_x [g/GJ] data can be found in the Technology Data Catalogue for Electricity and district heating production - Updated June 2022:

• biomass: NO_x average value from section 09a (Wood Chips extract. plant p.151) and section 09a (Wood Pellets extract. plant p.163)

• OCGT: NO_x value from section 52 (OCGT – Natural Gas p.383)

• CCGT: NO_x value from section 05 (Gas turb. CC, steam extract. p.73)

• coal and lignite: NO_x value from section 01 (Coal CHP p.37)

• oil: NO_x value from section 50 (Diesel engine farm p.366)

Values can also be found in the in Data sheet for Electricity and district heat production - Updated June 2022

For SO₂ emission, see both the Technology Data for Generation of Energy and District Heating page and the CO2 Emission Factors for Fossil Fuels - Update 2022 report. When available, the 2015 SO₂ [g/GJ] data can be found in the Technology Data Catalogue for Electricity and district heating production - Updated June 2022:

• OCGT: SO₂ value from section 52 (OCGT – Natural Gas p.383)

• CCGT: SO₂ value from section 52 (OCGT – Natural Gas p.383) and desulphuring percentage from section 05 (Gas turb. CC, steam extract. p.73)

• oil: CO₂ value from section 50 (Diesel engine farm p.366)

When only the desulphuring percentage is available, the 2015 CO₂ constants are calculated by taking the average mass percentage of sulphur and multiplying by the reported desulphuring percentage:

• coal: weight per unit energy (MJ/kg) from Chapter 3, Figure 3 (p.13 of the Umwelt Bundesamt report), percent sulphur from Chapter 3, Table 1 (p.18 of the Umwelt Bundesamt report), and the desulphuring percentage from section 01 (Coal CHP p.37 of the DEA report)

• lignite: weight per unit energy (MJ/kg) from Chapter 4, Figure 12 (p.24 of the Umwelt Bundesamt report), percent sulphur from Chapter 4, Table 2 (p.26 of the Umwelt Bundesamt report), and the desulphuring percentage from section 01 (Coal CHP p.37 of the DEA report)

• biomass: using peat values of weight per unit energy (MJ / kg) and percent sulphur from Chapter 4, Table 4 (p.30 of the Umwelt Bundesamt report), and the desulphuring percentage from section 09a (Wood Chips extract. plant p.151) and section 09a (Wood Pellets extract. plant p.163 of the DEA report)
