Emission Coefficients
Indian Emission Coefficients 2CO 2, N 2 O and NO X coefficients are same as IPCC 2Fuelwood Sulfur contents assumed to be closer to CORINAIR 90 range, rather than to IPCC default values
Methane Emission Coefficients 2Age profile specific livestock emissions (from IPCC) 2Methane coefficients for paddy are Indianised 2Coal mines are categorized in four levels (as per IPCC) for Methane estimates 2For MSW, IPCC co-efficient is used. While MSW estimates are Indianised, composition may differ from IPCC assumptions
Methane Emission Coefficient : Paddy
Methane Emission Coefficient : Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) /Thirty cities measured values /Composition of Indian MSW differs from IPCC assumptions (Grams/person) Daily MSW IPCC Value 330 Co-eff (kg/kg of MSW)
