40 CFR 98.30 General Stationary Fuel Combustion
� Includes a Four Tier Structure of emission calculations.
� Metalcasting facilities will likely use the Tier 1 approach
involving the use of emission factors from Table C-1.
(But could use Tier 2 with HHV Determinations)
� Emissions can be combined in some cases for
reporting purposes. (Natural Gas emissions based on
main facility meter representing all natural gas fired
sources.)

So what do I do now?
� If you know you are above 25,000 metric
tons of CO2e then you should be well along
with the program.
� If you don’t know, then figure it out. Use the
GHG Emissions Calculator on AFS Web
Site to Estimate your likely GHG emissions
for 2010.
