COAL CONSUMPTION. Based on the quantity of tons of coal delivered for a twelve-month period to each coal plant within the Entergy System. Used for the allocation of costs associated with services in support of coal purchased for coal generating units ACCOUNTS PAYABLE TRANSACTIONS Based on the number of accounts payable transactions processed annually for each Entergy System Company. Used for the allocation of costs associated with the support of the accounts payable function. INSURANCE PREMIUMS (NON-NUCLEAR) Based on non-nuclear insurance premiums. Used for the allocation of costs associated with risk management. ASSET RECORDS Based on the number of asset records at period end. Used for the allocation of costs associated with the fixed asset accounting function. AVERAGE OUTSTANDING CAPITAL EXPENDITURE AUTHORIZATIONS (CEA'S) Based on a twelve-month average of outstanding CEA's. Used for the allocation of costs associated with the capital project costing accounting function. TOTAL ASSETS Based on total assets at period end. Used primarily to allocate costs associated with the oversight and safeguarding of corporate assets. This would include services provided by financial management and certain finance functions, among others. Also used when the services provided are driven by the relative size and complexity of the System Companies and there is no functional relationship between the services and any other available allocation formula. BANK ACCOUNTS AND QPC'S Based on the number of bank accounts and quick payment centers (QPC's) at period end. Used for the allocation of costs associated with daily cash management activities. COMPUTER USAGE COMPOSITE Based on three components: Customers (52% weighting), General Ledger Transactions (29% weighting) and Employees (19% weighting), with weighting based on historical usage. Used primarily for the allocation of costs associated with the mainframe computer and related database administration. GENERAL LEDGER TRANSACTIONS Based on the number of general ledger transactions for the period. Used primarily for the allocation of costs associated with general ledger activities, including related information systems, and for general accounting activities. FIBER Based on capacity and use of the Entergy System's fiber optic network. Used primarily for the allocation of fiber optic operation and maintenance expenses. NUCLEAR UNITS Based on the number of nuclear units managed and operated by each Entergy System Company. Used primarily to allocate ...
COAL CONSUMPTION. Major coal consumers in the world and CO2 emissions from coal combustion are presented in the Table 9. As can be seen from the Table 9, China is burning more than a half of the global coal demand. Another 20% are shared by the United States and India. Complete phase out of coal in these countries may result in reduction of CO2 emissions from fuel com- bustion by ∼30%. Aggregate coal consumption by Japan, Russian Federation, The Republic of Korea, South Africa, Germany, Indonesia, Poland equals to ∼15%. Complete phase out of coal in these countries may result in reduction of GHG emissions by another ∼6%. Without any doubt, this would be a significant contribution to the global decarbonization. However, coal is responsible for meeting 60% of the primary energy consumption in China, and for 55% – in India, for 70% – in South Africa, for 50% – in Poland, for 30% each in the United States, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Indonesia 30%. Commitments undertaken by these countries to reduce their CO2 emissions are described in section 3.2. e Table 9. Major Coal Consumers in the world [12, 24] Table 10.

According to the “Draft Strategy for the Long-Term Low-GHG Development of the Russian Federation till 2050”, by 2030 the country plans to increase total greenhouse gas emissions by 32% compared to 2017 level, and by 2050 – by 26%, taking into account emissions related to the land use and forestry [26].
COAL CONSUMPTION. NSP uses low sulfur coals from Montana and Wyoming which have relatively low mercury concentrations, 0.05 ppm Hg, dry basis (weighted average for the 1999 NSP system) compared to other U.S. coals. In fact, the coals NSP consumes are among the lowest 23% of all coal mercury contents listed in the EPA 's national database for the 1999 Mercury Information Collection Request based on data through third quarter, 1999. NSP's annual coal consumption is about 12 million tons (9 million tons, dry basis), corresponding to about 935 lb/year mercury If NSP were to use "average" (median) U.S. coal, the amount of mercury would be over 70 percent higher. Because NSP's coal mercury contents are already so low, it does not appear that any significant opportunity exists to further reduce mercury by coal switching.
