National fossil fuels consumption: Estimates of CO2 emissions and thermic pollution

The study on the basis of the national energy consumption from 1988 to 1994, estimates CO2 emission rates produced by the most relevant hydrocarbons involved in the technological combustion processes and assess the potential thermic impact on the environment. Two calculation procedures have been developed taking into account once emission factors and other emission indexes in order to verify the two estimates. Besides, the work determines the national trend of CO2 emission with regard to the aim for the stabilization of carbon dioxide emissions at 1990 levels by 2000
