Formula
Notes Values of 1 or 2 orders of magnitude higher can occur when combustion is not complete. Emission factors for CO2 emissions from coal combustion should be calculated using CO2/ton coal = 73.3C, where C is the wt. percent carbon content of the coal. This emission factor is derived from the emission factor for bituminous coal. (Roy Huntley - EPA response to question in an email dated 5/30/03)
