Transport by fuel US biomass data is from the GHGP worksheet GHG emissions from transport or mobile sources v2.0. This category allows the user to calculate emissions based on the amount of fuel used in a particular journey. The user selects the drill-down fuelType from the following options.

  • e85 ethanol/gasoline
  • b20 biodiesel/diesel
  • ethanol
  • 100% biodiesel
The fuelQuantity for the journey is then specified as a profile item value.

The algorithm returns a CO2 value based on the users specifications and certain fuel emission factors. This CO2 value covers biomass emissions only. Therefore, the fossil fuel components of E85 and B20 are not included here, but are in the parent category. If the user wishes to calculate complete emissions, including biomass CO2 emissions, both categories must be used.
