Development of Non-CO2 Greenhouse Gas Emission Factors for the B-C Oil Fired Boiler Power Plants

The power plants are one of the GHG major source among the sectors of fossil fuel combustion, therefore information of its emission factors is very essential to the establishing control strategies for the greenhouse gas emissions. The CH4 and N2O concentration from power plants were measured using GC-FID and GC-ECD. The results showed that CH4 emission factor was 0.33 kg/TJ and N2O emission factor was 0.88 kg/TJ. The CH4 and N2O emission factors developed in this study were compared with those for IPCC default value and other countries emission factors. The results showed that CH4 emission factor was lower than IPCC default value and Finnish emission factor, but higher than Japanese emission factor. N2O emission factor was higher Japanese emission factor and IPCC default emission factor however lower than Finnish emission factor. More research is needed on our own emission factors of various energy-consuming facilities in order to stand on a higher position in international negotiations regarding the treaties on climate changes.
