Q615. For a 2011 report with the "Liquefied Natural Gas Storage" option selected, how does the "calculation utility" excel spreadsheet account for "Population Count and Emission Factors" when providing the user with a final CO2e number?

Final CO2e emissions = (Population Count) x (Emission Factors) x (Volume conversion)
