<aside> 💡 High-Level Description:

The CO2 Emissie Factoren NL methodology provides an integral system for assessing carbon emissions within the realm of stationary combustion. This encompasses emissions from industrial facilities, power generation plants, and residential heating systems, among others, where fuel is combusted in a fixed location. The methodology prioritizes a detailed analysis of the carbon content in various fuel types, including but not limited to natural gas, coal, and oil, as well as biomass and waste-derived fuels.

An essential aspect of this methodology is the emphasis on specific emissions factors for different fuels, reflecting the varying carbon dioxide emitted per unit of energy or weight when the fuel is combusted. It distinguishes between different grades and compositions of fuels since these subtleties significantly affect the overall emissions. By applying these specific factors, companies and regulators can more accurately assess their emissions profiles and develop targeted strategies for reducing their carbon footprint. This methodology is crucial for entities required to report their emissions and for those participating in emissions trading systems.
