Offroad fuels

[/transport/byFuel/ipcc/offroad]

The category /transport/byFuel/ipcc/offroad contains data and a methodology sourced from the IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories for calculating emissions associated with fuel used in off-road transport contexts.

Using this methodology

Choosing a specific activity type

To use this category, select the fuel type and use context using the fuel and useContext drill options. The following three fuels are available:

'diesel'

'motor gasoline 4-stroke'

'motor gasoline 2-stroke'

while the following four contexts can be selected:

'agriculture'

'forestry'

'industry'

'household'

Activity data required

Next, specify the quantity of fuel consumed. This can be specified either as a volume, using the volumeConsumed profile item value, or directly as a quantity of energy, using the energyConsumed profile item value.

Calculation and result

The returned quantities for this methodology represent CO₂, CH₄ and N₂O emissions associated with the specified quantity of fuel. The following discrete amounts are returned:

CO2: CO₂ emissions
CH4: CH₄ (methane) emissions
N2O: N₂O (nitrous oxide) emissions
CO2e: CO₂e emissions (all three gases, converted using these global warming potential)

The individual quantities for CH₄ and N₂O represent absolute quantities rather than CO₂e quantities.
