Using GHGenius for non-transport applications was created by jendav
Can we use GHGenius for non-transport applications such as the residential sector or self-generation at industrial sites? My understanding of GHGenius is that it is specific to transportation fuels but syngas and lignin, for example, would not be used for that purpose. They would be produced on site and used for on site power generation or heat.
The would not be injected into the gas grid.
What are the steps that would, or not, be taken to produce a CI value for this purpose when we are not accounting for combustion in transportation. Do we ignore certain stages in the calculation or zero out those values?
Any assistance would be appreciated!

Yes GHGenius can be used for non transportation applications. The fuel production emissions are independent of how the fuel is used, so the emissions on the Upstream HHV sheet are relevant to non transportation applications as well as transportation applications.
On the Equip Emiss sheet there are emission factors for the use of a number of fuels in non transportation applications. and there are non transportation combustion emission factors on the Equip Emission sheet.
Lignin would be a bit different to model but since it is similar to biomass the emissions factors for wood or wood residue would be a good starting point.

Further to this, if GHGenius can be used for non-transport applications, can a user model based on expected use? For example, can I say that I expect x volume of RNG to be used for the housing sector and x volume to be used for an industrial project? Can I calculate different CIs for each use?
Also, can GHGenius be used to calculate a CI for CCS? I expect so but want to confirm.
Thank you!

Yes GHGenius can do CCS for most pathways.
With respect to NG, there are different pathways for commercial vs industrial users of NG. It really depends on whether the industrial user takes the gas from the distribution system or the transmission system. The fugitive emissions are higher when the distribution system is included in the analysis.
