Suppliers of Coal-Based Liquid Fuels
Monitoring Checklist
Final Rule: Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gases
What Must Be Monitored for Each Supplier of Coal-Based Liquid Fuels?
For facilities engaged in producing coal-based liquid fuels (coal-to-liquid
products), measure these parameters...
United States
Environmental Protection
Agency
Annual volume or mass of each coal-to-
liquid product (barrels (bbl) or metric tons)
Annual volume or mass of each coal-to-
liquid product that enters the facility to be
further processed or otherwise used onsite
(bbl or metric tons)
Annual volume or mass of each type of
biomass that enters the facility and is co-
processed with fossil fuel-based feedstock
to produce a product (bbl or metric tons)
For products blended with biomass fuels,
percent volume of each product that is fossil
fuel-based (Calculation Method 1)
Annual volume of each bulk NGL
(bbl or metric tons)
Density of coal-to-liquid product, if
using Calculation Method 2
(metric tons per bbl)
Percent of total mass that carbon
represents in the coal-to-liquid product,
if using Calculation Method 2
Percent of total mass that each molecular
component in the each coal-to-liquid
product represents, if using Calculation
Method 2 and gas chromatography
For products blended with biomass fuels,
percent volume of each product that is
biomass-based (Calculation Method 2)
For importers and exporters of coal-based liquid fuels, measure these
parameters...
Annual volume or mass of each product
imported or exported (bbl or metric tons)
Percent of total mass that carbon represents
in the coal-to-liquid product, if using
Calculation Method 2
For products blended with biomass fuels,
percent volume of each product that is
fossil fuel-based (Calculation Method 1)
Density of each coal-to-liquid product, if
using Calculation Method 2 (metric tons
per bbl)
Percent of total mass that each molecular
component in the each coal-to-liquid
product represents, if using Calculation
Method 2 and gas chromatography
