User:Clayoquot/Electricity and heat

Electricity and heat is a category used in reporting greenhouse gas emissions. Emissions in this category are produced by power plants, combined heat and power plants, and heat plants.(Annex ii p. 1302) The plants may be owned by public utilities or by autoproducers..

Heat that is produced outside of a power plant is not counted as "electricity and heat" emissions.(Annex ii p 1295 https://www.ipcc.ch/site/assets/uploads/2018/02/ipcc_wg3_ar5_annex-ii.pdf)

"Emissions from autoproducers should be assigned to the sector where they were generated and an attempt made to separately identify the emissions associated with autogeneration from those associated with process heat." - 1996 IPPC guidelines, https://www.ipcc-nggip.iges.or.jp/public/gl/guidelin/ch1ri.pdf p. 1.4

To do:

https://www.ipcc-nggip.iges.or.jp/public/gl/guidelin/ch1ri.pdf p. 1.3 says it applies to public utilities, not autoproducers.

At some point the term "unallocated autoproducer" came in (https://www.ipcc-nggip.iges.or.jp/public/gl/guidelin/ch1ri.pdf)
