Energy and Emissions Data for SOx By: Brian Ponczak Yu Kuwabara ME 449 April 22, 2002
Industrial Energy Consumption The electricity sector plays a significant role in industrial energy consumption. The direct coal usage in the industrial sector has decreased, however, indirectly coal usage has stayed constant.
Residential & Commercial Energy Consumption Residential & Commercial energy use has also increased steadily. Direct coal usage has been decreasing, however, indirect usage has increased Due to the electricity sector.
Transportation Energy Consumption There is a strong relationship between total transportation energy and gasoline consumption.
Metal Production Copper is the highest-produced metal
Industrial Emission of SOx Coal contributes to a majority of SOx emission from the industrial sector
Residential & Commercial Emission of SOx Coal also indirectly contributes to the majority of SOx emissions from the residential and commercial sectors
Transportation Emission of SOx Transportation emission has decreased over the past 50 years due to the elimination of coal from the transportation sector.
Metals Emission of SOx Copper usage produces the most SOx emissions
Emission Factors for the Industrial Sector When the electricity sector is included into the industrial sector, the industrial emissions have become more efficient since 1970
Emission Factors for the Residential & Commercial Sectors When electricity is included into the residential & commercial sectors there appears to be a more efficient use of fuel.
Emission Factors for the Transportation Sector The transportation sector produces very little Sox emission per BTU consumed
Emission Factors for Metals Sector Copper contributes the most towards Sox emission among the major metals
