In Finland there are about 700 kettles that has under 5MW fuel power. Same amount is between 5 to 50 MW kettles and over 50 MW kettles there are 200 in Finland.

- Classes of climate emissions:
- CO2direct
- Direct CO2 emissions from the stack
- CO2trade
- CO2 emissions as they are defined in the emission trade. Non-trade sectors have emission 0.
- CO2eq
- CO2 emissions as equivalents (i.e. includes methane, N2O and other climate emissions based on life cycle impacts.
In Finland there are about 700 kettles that has under 5MW fuel power. Same amount is between 5 to 50 MW kettles and over 50 MW kettles there are 200 in Finland. One heating power plant can have several kettles. Many 5-50 MW power plants has also less than 5 MW kettle. [2]
Other data
This is other important data that wasn't in the end used in the model's calculations. These include for example emission factors for wood heating, emission types for different kinds of plants, kettles and fuels, and energy and sulphur contents of different fuels.

Dependencies
- Plant/kettle type
- Power output
- Efficiency
Data that have another unit than mg/MJ should be changed.
e.g. t/TJ -> mg/MJ
