Abstract

In this paper the country-specific carbon emission factors for the by-products from oil shale thermal processing (generator gas, semi-coke gas and semi-coke) for different technologies are presented. Today these emission factors have still not been determined in Estonia.As the shale oil production will increase significantly in the future, major attention should be paid to the oil shale production-related emission factors.
