### Purpose and domain of this section

### Assumptions
### The combustion of hydrocarbon fuels produces carbon dioxide (CO2), water vapor, trace amounts of methane (CH4),
### (N2O) and ash or soot (from incomplete combustion). This workbook makes a simplifying assumption that the combus
### is 100% complete, whereby all the carbon in fuel is converted to CO2. By itself, this assumption results in an approxim
### overestimate of CO2 emissions from combustion. This overestimate is offset by a second assumption that by itself wo
### roughly 1% underestimate of global warming impact. The second assumption is that the emissions of CH4 and N20 fr
### are so small and uncertain that they may be ignored in the calcuation. Each gram of CH4 and N2O has a greater impa
### gram of CO2. Even so, the amounts emitted during combustion are so small, and the factors for these emissions are
### is little benefit in calculating their global warming impact. (Processes other than combustion do produce significant am

### a variance that will in most cases be negligible.
###
### Companies that wish to calculate global warming from N2O and CH4 can do so as a last step, by multiplying their tota
### with an appropriate small percentage. This is justified because the ratio of N2O and CH4 to CO2 emissions from com

### Calculation Approaches

1 inch = 1000 mil = 2.54 centimeters (cm)
1 foot (ft) = 12 inches = 30.48 cm or 0.3 meters (M)
1 yard = 36 inches = 91.44 cm or 0.91 meters (M)

KEY: Btu = British thermal unit; N = data do not exist; P = preliminary; R = revised.
NOTES: To calculate total Btu, multiply fuel consumed (see tables 4-21, 4-22, 4-24, 4-25) by 135,000 Btu/gallon for air carrier, 125,000 Btu/gallon
for passenger car, other 2-axle 4-tire vehicle, and motorcycle, and 138,700 Btu/gallon for transit motor bus and Amtrak.

NOTES: Aircraft-miles includes all four air-carrier groups (majors, nationals, large regionals, and medium regionals), scheduled and charter,
passenger, and all-cargo. Fuel consumed includes majors, nationals, and large regionals, scheduled and charter, passenger, and all-cargo.
Passenger-miles includes all four air-carrier groups, scheduled and charter, passenger service only.
International operations include operations outside the United States, including those between the United States and foreign countries and the United States and its territories or possessions.
