    Hello, for the production of cement in my country Petroleum coke and End of Life tires are used.

    For End of Life Tires, what fuel do I select to model it correctly?

    Thanks for the help

    Hi Estela,

    I would suggest adding a new fuel called "tires" in the General: Fuels screen. You will need to supply information for the tires such as the energy content (GJ/Tonne). You will also probably need to find emission factors associated with the use of tires.

    Here's some basic info as a starting point: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire-derived_fuel

    Hope this helps!
