TOPIC 4: RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHER SOURCES AND SECTORS
 


4.3 Autoproduction of Electricity
For various reasons, some companies choose to generate part or all of their own electricity and/or process heat instead of purchasing it from an energy supplier (e.g., utility). As designated by the energy jargon, these are considered as electricity autoproducers, autogenerators, self-generators, or self-producers.

As recommended by the Revised 1996 IPCC Guidelines, electricity autoproduced should be assigned to the subsectors where it was generated. You should check that no double-counting or omission of emissions have occurred (e.g., that the fuel consumed for electricity generation is accounted for under Manufacturing Industries and not under Public Electricity and Heat Production category).

4.4. Fuel Use for Military Purposes
You should check whether there is any double counting or omission of emissions due to military use of fossil fuels. In particular, it is necessary to make sure that emissions due to mobile sources for military purposes are properly accounted for. Under the Common Reporting Format (CRF) tables military fuel use (stationary and mobile) is to be reported under 1.A.5 Other.

4.5. Mobile Sources in Agriculture
The reviewer should also make sure that emissions from mobile sources use for on-site agricultural activities are accounted for under the Agriculture/Forestry/Fisheries subsector and that emissions are not double counted in the transport category.
