Abstract
A process for calculating a carbon emission reduction comprises calculating a carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) output associated with using a measured quantity of wellhead gas in generators to produce electricity, determining a carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emission associated with flaring the measured quantity of wellhead gas, and calculating a carbon emission reduction as the difference between the determined CO2e emission and the calculated CO2e output.
Claims16
A process for calculating a carbon emission reduction comprising:
- calculating a carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) output associated with a quantity of wellhead gas used as a fuel supply to a generator that produces electricity;
- determining a carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emission associated with flaring the same quantity of wellhead gas via a flare stack system;
- and
- calculating the carbon emission reduction based on a comparison between the calculated CO2e output and the determined CO2e emission.
A process for calculating a carbon emission reduction comprising:
- calculating a carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) output associated with using a measured quantity of wellhead gas in generators to produce electricity;
- determining a carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emission associated with flaring via a flare stack system a quantity of wellhead gas equal to the measured quantity of wellhead gas;
- and
- calculating the carbon emission reduction as the difference between the determined CO2e emission and the calculated CO2e output.
