A PRIMER ON GHG EMISSIONS FROM ENERGY AND TRANSPORTATION


 
1.  Why are energy and transportation important in the issue of climate change?

2.  What do we exactly mean by GHG emissions from the energy sector?

3.  How do we compute for CO2 emissions based on our raw fuel use and electricity consumption?

4.  What if we don't know the local power mix?

5.  National emission factors increase through the years.  What does this mean?

6.  What do mean by GHG emissions in the transportation sector?

7.  How do we compute the amount of CO2 emitted when we use our gasoline or diesel-fueled vehicle?

8. Knowing all these, what steps can we take to protect our atmosphere, our climate, and thus our communities?
