| Description: | Proportion of emissions removed (scrubbed) |
Emission Generators Removal Rate is the proportion of emissions, produced by the Generator that are removed/scrubbed/sequestered by the Generator.
Emissions are produced when Generation occurs through the definition of one or a combination of Generators Production Rate, and by way of the Generator Fuels and/or Start Fuels memberships, the Fuels Production Rate properties. This Removal Rate is applied against both sources.
Example
| Generator | Property | Value | Units |
|---|---|---|---|
| Steam1 | Units | 1 | - |
| Steam1 | Max Capacity | 600 | MW |
| Steam1 | Heat Rate | 10 | GJ/MWh |
| Fuel | Property | Value | Units |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coal | Price | 5 | $/GJ |
Assume Generator "Steam1" uses Fuel "Coal" and that "Coal" is a producer of Emission "CO2".
| Emission.Fuels | Property | Value | Units |
|---|---|---|---|
| "CO2" Fuels "Coal" | Production Rate | 94.33 | kg/GJ |
To define the Removal Rate we put the Generator into the Emission Generators collection and set the property thus:
| Emission.Generators | Property | Value | Units |
|---|---|---|---|
| "CO2" Generators "Steam1" | Removal Rate | 50 | % |
In this example 1 MWh of Generation uses 10 GJ of "Coal" and produces 10 × 94.33 = 943.3 kg of "CO2" but 50% of this is removed to give a net Production of 471.65 kg.
