GHG Performance in 2022

Uses data from operators collated for openDemocracy article "Some ‘renewable’ UK incinerators are more polluting than coal stations"

Permit: DP3104SC

Total waste combusted (Total)	Electricity generated (MWh)	Electricity imported (MWh)	Electricity Exported (MWh)	Annual mass of carbon dioxide released (t)	CO2 Source	Annual mass emissions of nitrous oxide (tonnes)	N2O source	Biogenic percentage	Biogenic source	Total kg CO2e (including biogenic) per tonne combusted	Fossil kg CO2 per tonne combusted	Kg of fossil carbon equiv per MWh
674,941	431,660	1,391	382,279	608,151	Calculated from reported CO2 volume fraction on the CEMS and the stack flowrate readings on an adjusted basis for each line - Lines 1&2 & Line 3 part of the year, Lines 4&5 for the full year. Lines 1&2, L3 - part of the calculations was done using Waste and CV	5.13	Calculated from reported N2O mass concentration on the CEMS and the stack flowrate readings on an adjusted basis for each line	56.11%	Derived by weighting the figures each of the 5 lines by the number of hours the liens operted.
