This data point tracks the total greenhouse gas emissions, expressed in metric tonnes of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e), from the combustion of non-standard fuels (i.e., those not already reported under categories like diesel, LPG, aviation fuel, etc.) in stationary sources during the reporting period. These fuels may include hydrogen, syngas, synthetic fuels, ammonia, or experimental energy blends. The value reported should reflect actual emissions from combustion, calculated using verified emission factors or regulatory tools.

What to include:

  • Total tCO₂e emissions from:

  • Experimental or non-listed fuel types

  • Stationary combustion in labs, pilot systems, generators, or furnaces

  • Calculated based on actual quantity combusted and appropriate emission factors

  • Includes: hydrogen, synthetic fuels, syngas, ammonia, waste-derived fuels, propellants, etc.

What not to include:

  • Emissions already reported under standard fuels (e.g., coal, diesel, LPG)

  • Mobile combustion (vehicles, portable equipment)

  • Emissions from non-combustion uses (e.g., fuel loss, storage leaks)

  • Unused or stored fuel

Estimation Methodology:

  • If actual tCO₂e data is incomplete:

    • Use actual consumption for available months

    • Calculate average monthly emissions

    • Estimate missing months by multiplying the average

    • Add estimated emissions to actual emissions
