Fuel Name = Petroleum hydrocarbon gas
Unit of Measure Name = 1000Nm3
Unit of Measure Type = Volume
Fuel Type = Petroleum hydrocarbon gas
Unit of Measure = 1000Nm3
Fuel Name = Petroleum hydrocarbon gas
Source Unit of Measure = 1000Nm3
Target Unit of Measure = kWh
Conversion Factor = User provided conversion factor to convert source UOM to target UOM. For example, user provides a conversion factor of 0.01086 to convert 1000Nm3 to kWh for fuel type Petroleum hydrocarbon gas
Name = Petroleum hydrocarbon gas OEFSI
Fuel Type = Petroleum hydrocarbon gas
CO2 Emissions Factor = 5 g/kWh
Fuel Type = Petroleum hydrocarbon gas [Custom]
Fuel Consumption = 31
Fuel Consumption Unit = 1000Nm3 [Custom]
Other Emissions Factors = Petroleum hydrocarbon gas OEFSI
Fuel Consumption (kWh) = 31 (1000Nm3) * 0.01086 (kWh) = 0.33666 kWh
Emissions in tCO2e = 0.33666 (kWh) * 5 (g/kWh) = 1.6833 g Co2e = 1.68333/1000000 tCo2e
