Description

B4 Non-Direct Greenhouse Emissions Benefit

Meaning

In addition to the B2 indicator, other non-CO2 emissions must also be considered as they also have an impact on climate change and cannot be neglected. Pollution levels are increased via direct emissions, such as particulate matter and toxic elements, or via indirect methods that promote chemical reactions.

How to implement (first idea)

What needs to be included:
CO, NO2 (including NO that reacts to form NO2 within the atmosphere), SO2 and particulates (PM2. PM5 and PM10)

The non-CO2 indicator/s can be calculated per fuel type by multiplying the specific emission factor (for all emission types) in [t/MWh] by the respective generation in [MWh]. The indicator will be given in tons per year [t/yr].

The used emission factors need to be given within the implementation guidelines of the respective study.

TODO: Get the specific emission factors, potential further sources for research https://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=SWD:2021:0429:FIN:EN:PDF

Which models can be used?

Market simulations, Redispatch simulations

Tasks/Checklist

  • research specific emission factors
  • double check if implementation idea makes sense
  • write function to calculate B4 indicator
