In all fuels except for coal the values for these two categories are identical. For coal combustion, those who fall within the IPCC “Energy Industry” category may employ a value of 1g of CH4/mmBtu.\n1 Reporters subject to subpart W of this part may only use the default CH4 emission factor for natural gas-fired combustion units that are not reciprocating internal combustion engines or gas turbines. For natural gas-fired reciprocating internal combustion engines or gas turbines, at facilities subject to subpart W of this part, reporters must use a CH4 emission factor determined in accordance with § 98.233(z)(4).","path":["Title 40—Protection of Environment","CHAPTER I—ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY","SUBCHAPTER C—AIR PROGRAMS","PART 98—MANDATORY GREENHOUSE GAS REPORTING","Subpart C—General Stationary Fuel Combustion Sources"],"source_url":"https://www.ecfr.gov/api/versioner/v1/full/2026-08-25/title-40.xml","current_through":"2026-08-25","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-08-27T02:26:04Z","sha256":"bc0fa7466b3badbd4a7188184e6cffd393c602a1d8bbbda6e818d996959ee7e6","source_id":"us-cfr","stale":true,"prev":"us/40-cfr-table-c-1-to-subpart-c-of-part-98","next":"us/40-cfr-98.40"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
