Emissions Reduction Estimator Tool
A simple
CHP Emissions Reduction Estimator is provided as a downloadable
Excel spreadsheet. This Emissions Estimator provides the amount
of reduced emissions in terms of pounds of CO2, SO2,
and NOX based on input from the User regarding the CHP
technology being used.
The
User needs to input the following information:

A convenient
data entry reference sheet is provided
below to collect the needed information for data entry. In turn
the User will be provided with information regarding the benefits
from the CHP system including:
