With the total charcoal production per year of 2495.30 ton (equivalent to 57.58 TJ/year), and from the energy value of LPG of 50.0 kJ/gram LPG, and the emission factor for LPG of 63.1 ton CO2/TJ (IPCC, 2006), it was estimated that emissions of about 3,633 tons CO2 per year could be avoided. However, there are some uncertainties associated with this calculation. Firstly, CO2 emissions from fossil fuel use, such as during wood transport, land preparation, and charcoal transport to the users are not accounted for. Also, certain greenhouse gases such as N2O and CH4 may be also produced during the pyrolysis phase of charcoal production. If these are included, the amount of CO2 emissions avoided could be reduced.
