The cost of field development and plant construction and the equipment required for industry operations.
Industry:Energy
Removal of unwanted radioactive or hazardous contamination by a chemical or mechanical process.
Industry:Energy
The volume of recoverable,salable gas reserves committed to, controlled by, or possessed by the reporting pipeline company and used for acts and services for which both the seller and the company have received certificate authorization fromthe Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). Reserves include both company-owned reserves (including owned gas in underground storage),reserves under contract from independent producers, and short-term and emergency supplies from the intrastate market. Gas volumes under contract from other interstate pipelines are not included as reserves,but may constitute part or all of a company's gas supply.
Industry:Energy
An expenditure not recognized as acost of operation of the period in which incurred, but carried forward to be written off in future periods.
Industry:Energy
The amount of carbon dioxide by weight emitted into the atmosphere that would produce the same estimated radiative forcing as a given weight of another radiatively active gas. Carbon dioxide equivalents are computed by multiplying the weight of the gas being measured (for example, methane)by its estimated global warming potential (which is 21 for methane)."Carbon equivalent units" are defined as carbon dioxide equivalents multiplied by the carbon content of carbon dioxide (i.e., 12/44).
Industry:Energy
A liability inthe balance sheet representing the additional Federal income taxes that would have been due if a utility had not been allowed to compute tax expenses differently for income tax reporting purposes than for ratemaking purposes.
Industry:Energy
The amount of carbon by weight emitted per unit of energy consumed. A common measure of carbon intensity is weight of carbon per British thermal unit (Btu) of energy. When there is only one fossil fuel under consideration, the carbon intensity and the emissions coefficient are identical. When there are several fuels, carbon intensity is based on their combined emissions coefficients weighted by their energy consumption levels. Also see Emissions coefficient and Carbon output rate.
Industry:Energy
The fixation of atmospheric carbon dioxide in a carbon sink through biological or physical processes.
Industry:Energy
The portion of organic carbon present in such solid waste as paper, food waste, and yard waste that is susceptible to biochemical decomposition.
