Abstract

The authors propose an empirical model for evaluation of the CO₂ emissions released from the energy generation sources as a function of the fuel types, energy efficiency of the technologies used, and the emission factors of the fuels. In the research, multifactor linear and nonlinear regression equations are employed. The developed model has been proved with the data of the energy generation sources taking part in the Latvian Emission Trading Scheme.
