Abstract

The calculated emission factor of carbon dioxide was 105.9 g CO2/MJ according to the results during the measuring period, and 105.8 g CO2/MJ weighed by peat tonnes delivered. The range variation was 101 - 112 g CO2/MJ. The mean monthly emission factors of the power plants are shown in the figure no. 1. The differences between the power plants were small. The variation in carbon dioxide factors of the power plants ranged between 105.3 - 106.5 g CO2/MJ.
