Chart 3.3 shows the percentage of total emissions captured with different emission factors above certain thresholds. With an emission factor of 200, 92% of emissions are captured above a threshold of 5 kilotonnes of carbon dioxide-equivalent emissions, just under 90 % of emissions are captured above a threshold of 10 kilotonnes of carbon dioxide-equivalent emissions, 87% of emissions are captured above a threshold of 20 kilotonnes of carbon dioxide-equivalent emissions and 82% of emissions are captured above a threshold of 50 kilotonnes of carbon dioxide-equivalent emissions. With an emission factor of 400, just over 92% of emissions are captured at a threshold of 5 kilotonnes of carbon dioxide-equivalent emissions, 90% of emissions are captured above a threshold of 10 kilotonnes of carbon dioxide-equivalent emissions, just under 88% of emissions are captured above a threshold of 20 kilotonnes of carbon dioxide-equivalent emissions and just over 82% of emissions are captured above a threshold of 50 kilotonnes of carbon dioxide-equivalent emissions. With an emission factor of 600, 93.5% of emissions are captured above a threshold of 5 kilotonnes of carbon dioxide-equivalent emissions, 91% of emissions are captured above a threshold of 10 kilotonnes of carbon dioxide-equivalent emissions, 88% of emissions are captured above a threshold of 20 kilotonnes of carbon dioxide-equivalent emissions and 83% of emissions are captured above a threshold of 50 kilotonnes of carbon dioxide-equivalent emissions.
