There is a carbon calculator. Participant Productions convened, with my active involvement, the leading software writers in the world on this arcane science of carbon calculation to construct a consumer friendly carbon calculator.

You can very precisely calculate what your CO2 emissions are, and then you will be given options to reduce.

An ETS depends on measurement of national emission totals, which presently appears to be adequate only for energy related CO2 emissions.

Green carbon, which is the deforestation and agricultural emissions, and blue carbon together comprise 25 percent of our emissions.

In figures, 1.42 of total OECD energy related CO2 or 0.67 of total world CO2 from energy.

One activity included calculations of emissions reductions for CH4 and N2O, and another activity calculated the emissions reductions of CO, THC (total hydrocarbons), NOx, and particle matter (PM).

(a) Plus any emissions limitation commitment over achievement, on a CO2 equivalent basis of gases listed in Annex C , banked from a previous emissions budget period

They're going to be tapping into carbon credits.

Some sectoral background tables call for the calculation of IEFs or carbon stock change factors.

They will not necessarily be the emission removals factors actually used in the original emissions estimate, unless this was a simple multiplication based on the same aggregate activity data used to calculate the IEF or the carbon stock change factors.

In terms of 1994 global warming potentials (GWP) CO2 accounted in 1990 for about 80 per cent of total GHG emissions.

They indicate that CO2 emissions are projected to decrease by 33 per cent, CO by 40 per cent, NOx by 8 per cent and NMVOC by 27 per cent.

What we're also missing is blue carbon, which, by the way, is the largest store of carbon more than 55 percent.

What's green carbon?

quot Net anthropogenic emissions quot of greenhouse gases is the calculated difference between emissions by sources and removals by sinks.

If dry ice is used, the outer packaging or overpack should permit the release of carbon dioxide gas.

The team also noted that Iceland has made efforts to develop a methodology for calculating CO2 emissions related to the utilization of geothermal sources.

At the end of a budget period applicable to a Party, any amount by which the Party apos s emissions of tonnes of carbon equivalent is under its emissions budget for that period may be carried over and added to its emissions budget for the next budget period.

Cars and trucks add up to about 25 percent of the world's CO2 emissions.

quot Quota of net anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases quot means the total sum of annual net anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases (calculated in terms of carbon equivalent) permitted by this Protocol for a Party for this period of commitments.

But what we're missing is also some other emissions like black carbon, that is soot.

For each Annex A and Annex B Party, its emissions budget shall be denominated in tonnes of carbon equivalent emissions allowed and shall equal

For 13 Parties, CO2 emissions from fuel combustion represented more than 90 per cent of the total CO2 emissions.

The decisions specified how to measure emissions and reductions, and the extent to which carbon dioxide absorbed by carbon sinks could be counted towards the Kyoto targets.

The national communication includes aggregated emission estimates using global warming potentials (GWP), with CO2 emissions contributing 80 per cent of total emissions expressed as CO2 equivalent, methane (CH4) 12 per cent, nitrous oxide (N2O) 7 per cent and indirect GHG nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), and non methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOC) 1 per cent.

7.10 quot Quota of net anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases quot means the total sum of annual net anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases (calculated in terms of carbon equivalent) permitted by this Protocol for a Party for this period of commitments. (Russian Federation)

Ten Parties accounting for 44 per cent of the 1990 CO2 emissions from Annex I Parties, projected an increase in these emissions to 2000.

Green carbon, which is the deforestation and agricultural emissions, and blue carbon together comprise 25 percent of our emissions.

Emissions of non CO2 gases are relatively uncertain, and the team concluded that the estimate of nitrous oxide is still likely to be revised significantly downwards.

Total CO2 emissions amounted to 2,387,000 Gg in 1990, which represented 11 per cent of the global CO2 emissions, making the Russian Federation the world apos s second highest emitter of energy related CO2.

One car emits four tons.

For the first budget period, from 20_ to 20_ , each Annex A Party shall have a number of tonnes of carbon equivalent allowed equal to a percentage of its net anthropogenic emissions of tonnes of carbon equivalent in 1990, multiplied by the number of years in this budget period

The long term projections of CO2 emissions up to 2020 presented by ten Parties indicated that almost all of them expect a further growth of their CO2 emissions above the 2000 level.

Trends in CO2 emissions from transport, total CO2 emissions and total GHG emissions

Using 1994 IPCC global warming potentials (100 year time horizon), 1990 CO2 emissions (excluding land use change and forestry) represented 72 per cent of total GHG emissions, while methane accounted for 20 per cent.

Hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons and sulphur hexafluoride were not covered in the communication, but these were estimated for 1994 in the inventories for 1992 1994 submitted in spring 1996, showing zero or very small emissions.

Developed countries will be able to commit to reducing their emissions by 80 versus 1990 by mid century, as many have already done, and provide the necessary financial and technology support for developing countries adaptation and mitigation efforts. With that support, developing countries in turn will need to design and implement Low Carbon Growth Plans that significantly slow and eventually peak their emissions growth.

With that support, developing countries in turn will need to design and implement Low Carbon Growth Plans that significantly slow and eventually peak their emissions growth. By making these commitments, the MEF leaders, whose countries account for more than three quarters of global emissions, would lay a firm foundation for success in Copenhagen.

(c) Up to _ per cent of the tonnes of carbon equivalent emissions allowed under paragraph 119.2 or 119.3 below, such as may be borrowed from the subsequent budget period under paragraph 119.5 below plus

The correction for electricity trade amounts to approximately 11 per cent of total gross CO2 emissions in 1990, which totalled 58,400 Gg. Carbon sequestration from land use change and forestry was estimated to be about 2,600 Gg of CO2.

CH4 and N2O accounted for 11 per cent and 4 per cent of total emissions, while emissions of HFCs, PFCs and SF6 taken together were 1.8 per cent of total emissions.

The emissions of other GHGs (HFCs, PFCs, SF6) are expected to grow significantly, especially after 2000.

The land use change and forestry sector makes a relatively large contribution, with net carbon sequestration in forests estimated as equivalent to more than half of the 1990 CO2 emissions, and considerable net CO2 emissions coming from cultivated peatlands and non viable drainage areas as well.
