Environmental Loadings Factors Screen

The Environmental Loadings Factors screen allows users to define environmental impacts for technologies as either numeric values or expressions. It provides tools for selecting numerator and denominator units, converting between different unit sets based on technology efficiency or transportation service, and calculating final controlled loading factors when pollution controls are applied.

• Environmental loading factors, typically emission factors such as kg of pollutant per GJ of energy, can be entered as numeric values or as expressions created via the Expression Builder tool that depend on fuel chemical composition.
• The system supports unit conversion for loading factors; for energy supply technologies, this requires specifying the technology's efficiency to convert between loadings per unit of energy consumed and those per unit of energy produced.
• When pollution controls are associated with a technology on the Environment tab, the screen calculates and displays the level of emission abatement and the resulting final controlled loading factor.
