UNCONTROLLED EMISSION [2 records]

Record 1 1994-03-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Environmental Law
  • Environmental Economics
CONT

It should be emphasized that some countries (e.g., FR, Germany) define emission factors as the net release of atmospheric emissions whereas others (e.g., U.S.) utilize the concept of uncontrolled emission factors. In the latter case, controlled emissions are calculated by separately including the effect of the expected control efficiency.

OBS

Emission inventorying techniques normally use uncontrolled emission factors whereby the existing control efficiencies are separately applied for each individual source. In projecting, however, the major influence on emissions is the degree of expected and enforceable performance standards. These are generally written as maximum emissions allowed per unit of activity or process throughput. For this reason it is easier and more logical to compile a future, "controlled" emission factor to multiply against an industrial category's future activity level.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Environmental Law
  • Environmental Economics
CONT

Uncontrolled emission factors for each process are independent from the control equipment actually installed in a given facility. These uncontrolled emission factors are inherent to each process and remain constant from year to year. Thus the same emission factors used for calculating base year emissions can be used in the equation for calculating.

OBS

The term "uncontrolled emission" has another meaning.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Droit environnemental
  • Économie environnementale
DEF

Émission qui serait éventuellement rejetée dans l'atmosphère advenant le retrait des dispositifs antipollution existants.

OBS

Les émissions rejetées variant selon l'efficacité des dispositifs utilisés et de la rigueur des lois en vigueur à un moment donné, le concept «d'émission en l'absence de mesures» permet de prévoir plus exactement les émissions futures en calculant séparément les émissions brutes (sans mesures antipollution), puis, dans un second temps, les réductions attribuables aux dispositifs antipollution ou aux règlements en vigueur à une époque donnée.
