Emission

In TIAM the emissions are modelled endogenously by using an emission factor for each energy carrier. Depending on the use of the energy carrier (energetic use vs. non-energetic use) the amount of CO2 released differs. Table 1 shows emission factors for common energy carriers.

Table 1: Emission factors for different energy carriers [1].

	Gas	LPG	Coal	Heavy fuel oil	Oil	Naphtha	Biomass
CO2/PJ	56,10	63,10	99,07	77,37	73,71	73,30	0,00
