Emissions of CO2 can vary significantly by coal type. Using the IPCC default CO2 emission factors of 94600 kg/TJ of ‘Other bituminous’ coal and 96100 kg/TJ for subbituminous (Indonesian) coals, and then using the McCloskey typical energy contents produces an average emissions factor of 2.4 tonnes of CO2 per tonne of coal.
