It contains no petroleum, but can be blended at any level with petroleum <br /> <br />diesel to create a biodiesel blend. <br />Calendar Year - <br />The time period from January 1 through December 31. <br />Carbon Dioxide (CO) - <br /> The most common of the six primary GHGs, consisting of a single <br />2 <br />carbon atom and two oxygen atoms, and providing the reference point for the GWP of other <br /> <br />gases. (Thus, the GWP of CO is equal to 1). <br />2 <br />Ccf - <br />An American standardunit of measurement that stands for 100 cubic feet. This unit is <br />commonly used in the billing of natural gas and water for residences. One “Ccf” is equivalent to <br />748 gallons of a liquid. <br />COequivalent (COe) - <br />The universal unit for comparing emissions of different GHGs <br />2 2 <br /> <br />expressed in terms of the GWP of one unit of carbon dioxide.Essentially the effects of other <br />greenhouse gases are converted into the equivalent amount of metric tons of carbon dioxide. <br />Direct Emissions - <br /> Emissions from sources within the reporting entity’s organizational <br />boundaries that are owned or controlled by the reporting entity, including stationary combustion <br />emissions, mobile combustion emissions, process emissions, and fugitive emissions. All direct <br />emissions are Scope 1 emissions, with the exception of biogenic CO emissions from biomass <br />2 <br />combustion. <br />Double Counting - <br /> Two or more reporting entities taking ownership of the same emissions or <br />reductions. <br />2010-2011 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory, City of University City, MO 38 <br /> <br /> <br />
