In addition to the text of the proposed rule, EPA issued a Regulatory Impact Analysis for the Clean Power Plan, 4 along with numerous technical supporting documents and fact sheets.5 In October 2014, EPA issued a notice of data availability, which provided discussion and solicited additional comment on several topic areas, including the 2020 - 29 compliance trajectories.6 Also in October 2014, EPA issued a supplemental proposal to address carbon pollution from affected power plants in Indian Country and U.S. territories.7 In November 2014, EPA issued an additional technical support document providing examples of how a state could translate its rate - based goal into an equivalent mass - based goal, expressed in metric tons of CO2.8 In November 2014, EPA also issued a memo addressing biogenic CO2 emissions from stationary sources that explicitly relates this topic to the implementation of the Clean Power Plan.9

The proposed Clean Power Plan formula also considers efficiency programs that reduce load as equivalent to zero - emission generation that counts in the base for the compliance calculation, even though some of the generation that is avoided by reduced load may have already been served by zero - emission generation sources.

On this basis, the paper says that capturing 12 billion tonnes of CO2 equivalent (GtCO2e) per year (around a third of annual global emissions) would require 156 exajoules (EJ) of energy.

In order to estimate the impact on the economy of the Clean Power Plan's regulatory scheme, based on an estimated SCC of $ 37 per ton, we have modeled the impact of an equivalent tax of $ 37 per ton carbon emissions [14] instituted in 2015 and increasing according to the EPA's annual estimates of the social cost of carbon.

Their study was based on a spring pulse in northern Alaska that they documented in 2014 that included CO2 emissions equivalent to 46 percent of the net CO2 that is absorbed in the summer months and methane emissions that added 6 percent to summer fluxes.

Defines «reporting entity» to mean: (1) a covered entity; (2) an entity that would be covered if it had emitted, produced, imported, manufactured, or delivered in 2008 or any subsequent year more than the applicable threshold level of carbon dioxide; (3) other entities that EPA determines will help achieve overall goals of reducing global warming pollution; (4) any vehicle fleet with emissions of more than 25,000 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent on an annual basis, if its inclusion will help achieve such reduction; (5) any entity that delivers electricity to a facility in an energy - intensive industrial sector that meets the energy or GHG intensity criteria.

A global phase - down could avoid 1.1 — 1.7 billion metric tons CO2 equivalent (CO2 equivalent is a measure used to compare impacts of greenhouse gases based on their global warming potential in relation to CO2) of GHG emissions per year by 2030, with cumulative emission reductions of nearly 100 billion metric tons CO2 equivalent by 2050.

«(D) any vehicle fleet with emissions of more than 25,000 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent on an annual basis, if the Administrator determines that the inclusion of such fleet will help achieve the purposes of this title or title VIII; or

«(aa) the number 20 multiplied by the number of tons of carbon dioxide equivalent greenhouse gas emissions (including direct emissions from fuel combustion, process emissions, and indirect emissions from the generation of electricity used to produce the output of the sector) of the sector based on data described in subparagraph (D); by

Using SCIAMACHY satellite data as well as ground - based measurements from 2003 to 2009, researchers found that the region where Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and Utah intersect had atmospheric methane concentrations equivalent to about 1.3 million pounds of emissions a year.

Although CH4 emissions from reservoirs have been implicated as a particularly important source of CO2 equivalents (Giles 2006), constraining and modeling these fluxes is complicated by the fact that common methodological approaches, which are effective for CO2 and N2O emissions, do not capture an important fraction of overall CH4 flux: bubble - based (ebullitive) CH4 emissions.

Diffusive + ebullitive methane (top), carbon dioxide (middle), and nitrous oxide (bottom) emissions from reservoirs on a CO2 - equivalent basis (100 - year horizon).

I then made my pitch for a carbon fee - bate policy which would place a carbon price on oil sands and other sources of carbon emissions equivalent to that paid by firms in the EU and which, if implemented worldwide, would allow the world to meet science - based emissions reduction targets.

Because allocation of national ghg emissions is inherently a matter of justice, nations should be required to explain how their ghg emissions reduction commitments both will lead to a specific atmospheric greenhouse gas concentration that is not dangerous, that is, what remaining ghg CO2 equivalent budget they have assumed that their commitment will achieve, and on what equitable basis have they determined their fair share of that budget.

Although California's greenhouse gas emission standards are calibrated in CO2 - equivalent grams per mile rather than miles per gallon, they are flat, not attribute - based.

Carbon Dioxide Equivalent — Carbon Dioxide Equivalent (or CO2e) is a measure used to compare the emissions from various greenhouse gases based upon their global warming potential (GWP).

Emissions also are reported on a carbon equivalent or carbon dioxide equivalent basis.

So, changing Harrywr2's capacity figures to make them equivalent on the basis of emissions avoided, to replace 100 million tons of coal would require: 25 GW nuclear, or 60 - 70 GW of hydro, or ~ 190 GW of wind (100 GW / 53 %)
