This customized India specific power sector tool has been developed by The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), New
Delhi through a multi stakeholder consultative process involving interaction with different experts in the field. The tool
is based upon the existing corporate GHG Inventory Protocol and tools developed by the World Resources Insitute
(WRI), a Washington based NGO and World Buisness Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), a Geneva based
coalition of international companies under their "Greenhouse Gas Protocol" initiative. The United States Environmental
Protection Agency (USEPA) has supported this first version of the customized power sector tool for India. I, Abhishek
Kumar, MBA student from NITIE has modified this tool as per the requirements of SMRC Automotive for calculation
of GHG Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. This tool presents a simple approach for inventorising the GHG emissions from
SMRC facility, which can then be extended to corporate level. This is an integrated air emissions calculation tool which
can be used to calculate both GHG emissions and other air emissions such as SO 2 emissions (similar quantification
methodologies can be applied to estimate these particular air emissions).
Before using this tool, users are encouraged to refer to the revised edition of "The Greenhouse Gas Protocol" - A
Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard (available at www.ghgprotocol.org), which provides GHG accounting
principles, guidelines for setting boundaries, and additional guidance on other aspects of developing GHG inventory.
Although the tool has been designed in a simplistic manner that enables the users to directly fill in the information,
users should refer to the accompanying Guidance Document concurrently for using this customised tool, which gives the
purpose and scope of the customized tool and instructions for filling the different worksheets in this tool.
These worksheets have been adapted from other WRI and WBCSD calculation tools to represent conditions in the Indian
SMRC facilities. These worksheets enable the user to apply internationally accepted methodological approaches such
as the GHG Protocol and IPCC guidelines (incorporating India-specific information where and when appropriate) to
more accurately estimate GHG and SO2 emissions.

Worksheet Introduction
(1) This sheet calculates CO2 emissions from various company owned vehicles only.
(2) User should use either Method-1 or Method-2 for estimating emissions from mobile sources,
depending on availability of data.
(3) Examples of mobile sources are company owned trucks, cars, buses for transportation of employees, etc.
(4) Emissions from vehicles owned by the contractors but operating for activities concerning the
power plant are generally optional and reported under Scope -3, which is however not reported
in this power tool.
Companies should estimate direct mobile emissions by either of the following methods

Notes for Method 2
1. Use only customised CO2 & SO 2 emission factor since kg CO 2/km varies with vehicle type, age, loading, road conditions, etc.
2. For more details on distance based emission, please refer "Calculating CO 2 emissions from mobile combustion tool" on www.ghgprotocol.org

Worksheet introduction
(1) Handling and storage of coal is a source of fugitive methane (CH 4 ) emissions. For instance,
different types of coals desorb methane at different rates, but since coal is usually removed
from a mine within hours or days of being mined, some CH 4 remains and gets released
from the coal during handling operations.
(2) Calculations provided here would help to estimate conservative CH 4 emissions associated with coal
handling and storage within power plant.
(3) For further details, please refer to "Revised 1996 IPCC Guidelines for National
Greenhouse Gas Inventories", Volume 2, Chapter 1.5.

Worksheet Introduction
(1) Indirect emissions are consequence of the actions of a reporting entity, but are produced
by sources owned or controlled by another entity.
(2) This sheet calculates indirect CO 2 emissions assciated with the consumption of electricity
purchased by the power plant from the grid (e.g. purchase of electricity from the grid
during plant start-up or shut down).
(3) The emissions estimated in this sheet are reported under Scope 2.
(4) Grid specific default emission factors are provided in Table 4 of Sheet "13-Default values".
