Remarks:
[1] For Hong Kong Business
[2] For power generation only
[3] Fuel oil is mainly used for starting and flame stabilisation of coal fired units and hence, specific breakdown for fuel oil is not given.
[4] There are significant reductions in emissions in 2009 and 2010 due to higher gas consumption, change in coal quality and additional FGD plants / low NOx system.
[5] The methodology used for calculation is drawn from the Revised 1996 IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories.
[6] The increase in town water consumption in 2010 is mainly due to the additional water usage for NOx control for GT57 combined cycle unit which has become a base load unit from January 2010 as well as for SO2 removal in additional FGD plants.
