Calculation worksheets. September 2006. Version 1.0

Purpose and domain of this tool

This tool intends to facilitate the allocation of GHG emissions attributable to the purchase or sale of energy from a combined heat
and power (CHP) plant. This document is to be used in conjunction with guide to calculation worksheets – "Allocation of GHG
emissions from a combined heat and power (CHP) plant", which can be downloaded from the GHG Protocol Initiative website,
www.ghgprotcol.org.

Depending on circumstances, this tool may also be used in conjunction with up to five additional documents and tools, which can
also all be downloaded from the GHG Protocol Initiative website. These additional documents and tools include:
- "The Greenhouse Gas Protocol: A Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard (Revised Edition)";
- Calculation worksheets – "Direct emissions from stationary combustion" (revised);
- Guide to calculation worksheets – "Direct emissions from stationary combustion" (revised);
- Calculation worksheets – Indirect CO2 emissions from the consumption of purchased electricity, heat or steam"
- Guide to calculation worksheets – "Indirect CO2 emissions from the consumption of purchased electricity, heat or steam";

This is a cross-sector tool, which should be applied by all companies whose operations involve the purchase or sale of energy from a
CHP plant.

This tool has been developed by the WRI/WBCSD GHG Protocol Initiative team, based in-part on relevant aspects of the first edition
of the "CO2 emissions from stationary combustion" calculation tool and guidance document.

The first edition of the "CO2 emissions from stationary combustion" tool was prepared by Jasper Koch (WBCSD) and Pricewaterhouse
Coopers, with major contributions from Vincent Camobreco (US-EPA), Brad Upton (NCASI), Mike McMahon (BP); Hans Aksel Haugen
(Norsk Hydro); Anne Virginie Leenknecht (PwC); and Arto Heikkinen (Fortum). Advise was provided by many other individual and
