Description

In the fugitive emissions annex https://data-donnees.az.ec.gc.ca/data/substances/monitor/canada-s-official-greenhouse-gas-inventory/G-Additional-NIR-Annexes?lang=en

There are equations about facilities and component counts that are unlike anything in planzero. Find out if there is data available for these estimators and figure out how to combine the emissions they predict with the emissions reported through e.g. Petrinex.

I'm looking at e.g. Equation A3.2-12.

This might relieve the huge hack of multiplying fugitive vented emissions from oil and gas by a magic factor of 2.5

Lots of coefficients in here, possibly enough to combine with Petrinex into an estimator https://static.aer.ca/prd/documents/UpdateofEquipmentComponentandFugitiveEmissionFactorsforAlber-1.pdf

Research direction

Start by reviewing Equation A3.2-12 in the fugitive emissions annex and the linked AER equipment-component and fugitive-emission factors document. Investigate whether the required facility and component-count data is available and how it could be combined with Petrinex-reported emissions. Done means documenting or implementing a defensible estimator and determining whether it can replace the current 2.5 multiplier.
