Greenhouse Gas Emissions Calculation Tool Released |
|
Climate change legislation and greenhouse gas regulatory requirements that could impact the metalcasting industry are receiving increased attention and focus in Washington, D.C. The AFS Committee for Air Quality (10-E) greenhouse gas emissions working group has prepared a tool for metalcasting facilities to calculate their direct greenhouse gas emissions from fuel consumption. The tool can be downloaded from the AFS website by clicking here.
The primary purpose of this tool is to generate a preliminary estimate of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from a metalcasting facility. The tool is not intended to be a substitute for a detailed GHG inventory or to meet the reporting and other requirements of any current or future local, state, or federal laws or regulations. The GHG estimate can, however, help a facility determine how Climate Change legislation and GHG emissions regulations may impact their business.
