Chart 3.3 - Threshold emissions as percentage of total.

Text description of figure

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.
