Title Introduction of Biomass Boiler
Summaries GHG emission reduction measures : One or more biomass boilers are introduced and combust biomass instead of fossil fuels to generate heat and produce steam, resulting in reduction of GHG emissions from fossil fuels.
Calculation of reference emissions : Reference emissions are CO2 emissions from heat generation by a reference boiler which combusts fossil fuel(s). They are calculated by the amount of produced steam by the project biomass boiler(s), specific enthalpies of steam and water, reference boiler efficiency and a CO2 emission factor of fossil fuel.
Calculation of project emissions : Project emissions are CO2 emissions from electricity consumed by the project biomass boiler(s), combustion of fossil fuel(s) by the project biomass boiler(s) and transportation of biomass. CO2 emissions from consumed electricity are calculated by the amount of electricity consumed by the project biomass boiler(s) and its CO2 emission factor. In case the project biomass boiler(s) combusts fossil fuel(s) as well as biomass, project emissions include CO2 emissions from the combustion of fossil fuel(s), which are calculated by the amount of fossil fuel(s), net calorific value of fossil fuel(s) and its/their CO2 emission factors. CO2 emissions from biomass transportation are calculated by roundtrip distance of biomass transportation, mass of transported biomass and a CO2 emission factor for biomass transportation.
Monitoring parameters : Amount of steam produced by the project biomass boiler(s); Amount of electricity consumed by the project biomass boiler(s) and ancillary equipment; Amount of fossil fuel consumed by the project biomass boiler(s); Round trip distance of biomass transportation; Mass of transported biomass
