Title:
TECHNIQUE FOR DETERMINING AND REPORTING REDUCTION IN EMISSIONS OF GREENHOUSE GASES AT A SITE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/005863
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A power plant or other power generating site having a plurality of data sources which include sensors at the power plant or site, GHG determinations are made by assessing corollary data and the uncertainty of each data source, normalizing the data through application of a numerical model or models that may or may not be coupled, transforming the data into normalized data based on the uncertainty analysis and modeling results, discounting the incremental change based on the results of the uncertainty analysis, and assessing the net change in efficiency that can be documented to occur. The results of such a process can then be expressed in units of GHG reductions, carbon credits or other units of measure as required by voluntary or mandatory GHG reduction programs.
