CO2 <strong>emissions</strong> are determined independently of the engine type with the aid of these conversion factors. As a result, carbon dioxide<br />

<strong>emissions</strong> from appliances with 2-stroke engines tend to be overestimated, since with these engines a significant proportion of carbon is<br />

emitted in the form of hydrocarbons <strong>and</strong> carbon monoxide.
