Diesel Power Generation : Inventories and Black Carbon Emissions in Nigeria

Diesel Power Generation : Inventories and Black Carbon Emissions in Nigeria

Diesel gensets contribute to emissions of fine particulate matter (PM), including black carbon, which derives from the incomplete combustion of diesel (as occurs in many diesel generating sets or gensets). Particulate matter is a predisposing facto...
