I don't have a wells-to-turbine emissions analysis for kerosene at hand, but
I doubt that 12.2 percent (3.567 / 3.18) adder to combustion is likely to
account for the full extent of CO2 and CH4 emissions of oil production,
field energy use, transport, refining, and delivery of Jet-A fuel. If anyone
has a supply chain emissions estimate for kerosene, let us know.

Network Participants,


I am proud to announce the formation of the Offset Quality Initiative (OQI).  The GHG Experts Network is a founding member of OQI.  

OQI develops consensus statements on issues related to GHG emission offsets.  

The GHG Experts Network will represent itself as an independent organization as part of the OQI.  Given the diversity of participants in the Network, clearly we may not represent your views or that of a majority of participants in the Network.  However, the staff of the Network may ask you as a participant to provide your opinion on important issues being addressed by OQI in the future.

Please see the press release below for more information.

Portland, OR and
 Washington , D.C. 
      - Six non-profit leaders in greenhouse gas reduction policy
      have announced the formation of the Offset Quality Initiative (OQI). The OQI
      will promote a policy agenda focused on the effective incorporation of
      high quality greenhouse gas offsets and other reduction mechanisms into
      emerging climate change policy.

      

      "The Offset Quality Initiative brings together many of the
      non-governmental community's top experts in the carbon market," said
      Mike Burnett, Executive Director of The Climate Trust. "Providing a
      forum for these leading thinkers will support policy makers as they
      consider the integration of greenhouse gas offsets into emerging climate
      change policy." 

      

      The partnership is a collaborative and consensus-based voluntary effort
      that brings together the collective experience, resources, and expertise
      of its member organizations: The Climate Trust, California Climate Action
      Registry, Environmental Resources Trust, Greenhouse Gas Experts Network,
 Pew
 Center on Global Climate Change,
      and The Climate Group. The objectives of the OQI are: 
 
      
       To develop and promote consensus policy
           positions for the optimal integration and treatment of greenhouse
           gas offsets in current and future state, regional and national
           climate change policy.   
       To educate stakeholders on the
           opportunities and challenges presented by the integration of
           greenhouse gas offsets into regulatory and voluntary climate change
           mitigation strategies.  
       To serve as a source of credible
           information on greenhouse gas offsets based on the diverse
           collective knowledge and experience of the Offset Quality Initiative
           members.   
       To promote innovation in the greenhouse
           gas offset market and to provide guidance on best practices and
           policies.  
      
      "As policy makers begin to design future climate
      legislation it will be important to have an authoritative source of
      information regarding effective, high quality greenhouse gas
      offsets," said Janet Peace, Senior Research Fellow at the
 Pew
 Center on Global Climate Change.
      "The Pew 
       Center is pleased
      to be a founding member of this important effort."

      

      Topics the group plans to address include: key criteria of high quality
      greenhouse gas offsets, the interaction of voluntary and regulatory
      greenhouse gas reduction markets, opportunities and challenges presented
      by various offset project types, and recommended roles for offsets in
      emerging climate change policy.

Rick,

The closest fuels I have done LCAs for are gasoline and diesel, and  
for them 12.2% is far, far too low.

Dear Colleagues

We have recently been made aware of a company in New Zealand intending to use a nitrogen cure process for power cable manufacturing. The company has told us this process produces N2O emissions but not much more than that. Does anyone know much about this process, whether it produces N2O emissions and if so where a methodology and emission factor information could be found?

I look forward to your responses.

Message-ID: <001e01c81d76$1dd2a670$6401a8c0@lasef991605f5a>

Dear all,

 

I am looking for the ERE or energy requirement for energy value per energy
carrier used or potentially used in transport activities and per country or
area.
 

We are developing a generic tool to measure the energy consumption and
greenhouse gas and other emissions of supply chains per unit product (value,
weight, .). 
This tool will be used to help companies (shippers as well as transport
companies) to develop more sustainable supply chains and to measure the
effect of alternative solutions and improvements in a accurate, consistent
and transparent way.  We use data from existing databases but it is the
intention to go to a bottom up direct input from transport companies in a
second phase.   

 

Part of this tool is to add the energy losses during the energy conversion
chain. This is needed to evaluate the potential effect of alternative energy
carriers since (fossil) energy is needed to produce it. This will be
specific per country or area as the distance between "well and wheels" will
be different as well as the energy sources for the production of
electricity. 

 

Does a central database exist with this information or can you advise me how
to find this information.

Hi.  I am still working on the draft GHG inventory for the Washington DC
region.  Is anyone aware of a method/activity data/emission factor that
could be used to develop an assessment of CO2 emission that could be
"attributed" to consumption of consumer products?   We certainly don't
have the time to do a life cycle assessment for each product sold in the
region, but clearly some (most) of the products the region consumes
cause (either directly or indirectly) GHG emissions in their production
and distribution.  If anyone can refer me to a simplified approach for
such a calculation, I'd appreciate it.  

 

Thanks.

Hi Jeff

 

I think it's a complex issue and certainly it is something we have been
looking at in the UK.  The Carbon Trust has commissioned research on the
issue and from a Carbon inventory approach the report below is useful.
There is also a lot of work going on in the UK at the moment
investigating supply chain associated CO2 emissions and I have recently
seen an interesting model from Envirowise (AEA) - that includes
"materials carbon footprint" in business overall carbon footprint.  If
you would like further information on that let me know and I'll send on
a contact name.

 

http://www.carbontrust.co.uk/Publications/publicationdetail.htm?producti
d=CTC603&metaNoCache=1

 

You may also want to consult with the Stockholm Environment Institute
who have developed a tool called REAP. This is a powerful tool that
works on consumption and production flow and although I haven't used it
directly myself, I know that colleagues from SEI are contributors to
this site, perhaps there might be some further discussion.  My contact
here in the UK is Dr John Barrett who is based at York University.  The
REAP tool is being used by local government and also provides policy
indicators for assisting with policy formulation.  

 

Hope that helps.

 

Kind regards

GHG Network members:

 

The WRI/WBCSD Greenhouse Gas Protocol standards have become recognized
as internationally accepted best practice in GHG reporting at the
corporate and project levels. Since the publication of our standards,
the program has been engaged in refining our tools and methods,
developing supportive guidelines, as well as engaging in capacity
building and standard harmonization activities. Recently, the program
has received a significant number of inquiries which have led us to
consider the need for the development of a new suite of international
standards or guidelines related to life cycle/supply chain emissions
accounting for products and/or organizations.

We have developed a survey to help us assess the need for further
standards/guidance. We hope to use the results from this survey to
enable us to gain additional insight and feedback and make an
appropriate decision on next steps. The survey is being sent to
approximately 300 stakeholders, experts and companies.

You are all welcome to participate and we hope you have a moment to fill
out the attached survey. We appreciate detailed responses, but even
short responses will be helpful. Please send the completed survey to
drich at wri.org by November 23, 2007. All submitted surveys will remain
anonymous and general results will be circulated for information.  We
plan to complete this consultation process, analyze the results, and
decide on next steps by January-February 2008.

We appreciate your participation and please do not hesitate to contact
us with any questions.

 

WRI/WBCSD GHG Protocol Team

I assume that the UK Carbon Trust report cited below uses an "economic
input output LCA" approach, which looks at macroeconomic data and
emissions data to create a model of the GHG emissions intensity of
various sectors of the economy. There are many caveats to using this
approach (e.g., focuses on production of products only, it is a linear
approach so that producing a $40,000 car has twice the impact of a
$20,000 car, etc.). Notwithstanding those and other caveats, there is a
publicly available version for the U.S. economy at
http://www.eiolca.net/ (this is a Carnegie Mellon University
initiative). It may be useful to give you a very rough approximation of
what you are looking for; at least to compare products to other elements
of your inventory.

Subject: [GHG Network] Gel fuel emissions
Message-ID: <474D90B9.9352.00E2.0@uct.ac.za>

Dear colleagues,

I am trying to do a GHG emission comparison between use of kerosene (paraffin) and gel fuel. I need to compute emissions arising from use of gel fuel. Being a biofuel, I understand I need to take into consideration some aspects of the gel fuel Life Cycle Analysis (LCA), as it can not be said to be a zero net emission fuel. 

Does anyone know what emission factors I could use? Are there standard energy content figures for gel fuel?

I would appreciate hearing from you.

Best regards,

Stanford

Stanford,

I think gel fuel is made from ethanol and cellulose gel. I don't have an 
idea on the ratios. You would have to account for emissions in the ethanol 
production process as well as the cellulose gel process. Depending on who is 
making the fuel, the ethanol in the region is mostly sugar based with 
bagasse and coal as the main eneryg sources.
