I have the mass (metric tonnage) of each fuel type, but only have found EFs based on volume (litres): - Fuel oil - 2.99 CO2 - Diesel oil - 2.63 CO2 I know that I can convert tonnes to litres using a specific gravity measure. I have found a suitable SG for Diesel Oil (0.85 kg/litre for Diesel Oil 40 at 15 degrees), but not one for Fuel Oil. In summary, I'd like to know: 1. Are the above EFs (per litre) suitable for marine (bunker) fuel? 2. Is there an accepted specific gravity figure for typical marine (bunker) Fuel Oil? Thanks and regards, Phil P.S.

To begin the protocol development process, we are hosting a public meeting to discuss possible types of coal mine methane projects and solicit information and feedback from interested stakeholders. Date: Tuesday, February 10, 2009 Time: 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM MST Location: Tabor Auditorium Address: Westin Tabor Center 1672 Lawrence Street Denver, Colorado 80202 The Climate Action Reserve is dedicated to the development of high quality, standardized protocols for GHG reduction projects. Tentatively, we envision starting our process with the development of a protocol for projects that capture and destroy ventilation air methane from active mines. At the scoping meeting, we will explore issues around developing accounting methods and eligibility criteria for other possible mining-related methane destruction projects as well. The new protocol will be used to register projects with the Climate Action Reserve. We encourage all interested stakeholders to join us, including representatives and experts from: * Mining industries nationwide * Local, state and federal agencies involved with land rights, gas rights and mineral rights and mining regulation * Environmental advocacy organizations * Project developer organizations * Project verification bodies * Academia If you plan on attending, please RSVP to policy at climateregistry.org by February 4, 2009. An agenda will be provided to all attendees prior to the meeting. This meeting will also have conference call capability. If you have questions about the protocol or its development process, please contact Rachel Tornek at +1 213-891-6930 or rachel at climateregistry.org.

My understanding of their non-listing is two-fold: (1) emissions of both pale in comparison to the six families of gases addressed by Kyoto, and (2) there is no consensus on their GWPs. Although I have never found an "official" GWP for propane, there are references in the literature suggesting a range of 3 to about 20. But these cannot be used since they have not been sanctioned by or under the UNFCCC. For an emission inventory, you would just use an emission factor for the complete oxidation of propane to CO2, just as you would for the combustion of natural gas or gasdoline. For fugitives of propane (or propylene), you would determine the weight percent carbon and assume this is oxidized. The results should be the same. The WRI protocol gives propane emissions as 5.75 kgCO2/gallon.

SBCI is accepting comments on the draft, which you can forward to me. Besides SBCI, other initiatives around buildings & carbon include: * USGBC - LEED 2009 - USGBC has said that "Mitigating climate change is our top priority". In the next version of LEED (LEED 2009), credits have been re-weighted according to Life Cycle Analysis criteria (LCA). The highest weightings have been given to building practices that improve energy efficiency and thereby reduce CO2 emissions. There will also be an LCA Alternate Compliance Path. All of this will be ready for use with LEED v3 2009 in early 2009. * CaGBC is using the slogan "Towards A Buildings-Centric Climate Change Strategy" . CaGBC LEED v2 2009 (to be launched in Spring 2009) will follow the USGBC by including LCA weighted credits and an LCA Alternate Compliance Path. * Architecture 2030 (founded by Ed Mazria) includes the "2030 Challenge" which calls for carbon neutral buildings by 2030 * PEW Centre - is also looking to meet GHG targets through buildings with its "Net zero buildings 2050 Proposal" which aims to decrease CO2 emissions by 25% by 2025. Finally, if we look to Europe which represents the likely future for green buildings in NA, regulations have been enacted to require minimum energy standards, energy certification and building labelling (EU Directive 2002/91/EC - Energy Performance of Buildings) The ball is rolling...low carbon "green" building is rapidly becoming mainstream.

I presume you work in Spain. I work in the US. The refueling practices in Spain (or wherever you are) appear to be more environmentally conscientious than what I have observed here. In the US, whenever a tank or a cylinder is re-filled the fixed liquid level maximum level gauge (or outage gauge, or "spitter" valve) is opened; usually before the pump is turned or (or shortly thereafter) and it stays open until the operator observes a white cloud coming out of the outage gauge. That white cloud is made up of liquid LP Gas and frozen water from the air. These releases are significant. The measured mass flow release rates for gaseous phase and liquid phase were ~ 3 grams/sec and ~10 grams/sec respectively when the refilling is conducted with the help of a pump. When a fork lift cylinder is "gravity" refilled the measured mass flow release rates were ~ 2.5 grams/sec and ~ 10 grams/sec. For instance, depending on which fork lift population report one chooses to believe, LP Gas losses to ambient from while fork lift cylinders being refilled in CA are estimated at between 7,200 to 11,000 tons per year (this is in CA alone.) For the entire US, we're looking at 60,000 to 93,000 tons per year only to refill fork lift cylinders. No matter the size of the tank or its use, the outage gauge restriction is identical (#54 drill size) until we're talking about LP Gas rail cars - which have larger throughput outage gauges. Again, based on statistics published by PERC and NPGA, it is estimated that annual LP Gas losses through outage gauges for all tanks that are filled in the US are between 450,000 and 700,000 tons/year. The average of these two limits is 575,000 tons, or 575,000,000 kg, or 1,265,000,000 lbs, or 301,190,047 LP Gas gallons - which at $2.50 per gallon - translates to a loss to end-users of $752,976,000 each year. In most cases, the end user is billed for this wasted propane - yet he does not get to use it. LP Gas can and does contain varying amounts of propylene, depending on the standard under it is being sold (e.g. commercial grade, HD-5 or automotive grade (note: "-5" means that the propylene content cannot exceed 5%, etc.) I recall that one commercial grade allows propylene to be as much as 50% by volume of the LP gas mix. GSA keeps the specifications for the various grades of LP Gas. In California, automotive LP gas can have as much as 10% propylene. It's a good guess that the average content of propylene in LP Gas sold throughout the US exceeds ~ 5%. If it is conservatively estimated that there's only 5% propylene in LP Gas that means that ~ 28,750 tons of propylene is released to ambient each year. This is NOT an insignificant amount. What's amazing is that only recently the US and CA regulatory entities charged to monitor and maintain air quality have partially awaken to this on-going pollution and waste. Can somebody please explain to me why propane (C3H8) is not a GHG when CH4 (methane) is considered to be a green house gas?
