abstract = "This paper presents the importance of the carbon emission factor, the need for its regular determination with the aim of calculating CO2 emissions as accurately as possible, and the monitoring of changes in the value of the emission factor and emissions. This is shown by the example of lignite from the open-pit mine “Kostolac”, which was sampled and experimentally investigated in order to determine the emission characteristics and compare them with the emission characteristics of lignite from the same open-pit mine from the previous year. At the Institute of Nuclear Sciences "Vinca", Laboratory for Thermal Engineering and Energy, an experimental and computational methodology was developed, including proximate analysis, ultimate analysis and the determination of the lower heating value. Based on laboratory tests, the necessary correlation dependencies were determined and a comparison of the values and the dependency curves of the emission factor on the lower heating value was carried out. When comparing the results, it was found that the emission factor changes for a certain value. If one takes into account other variables that are included in the calculation of the annual emission values, such as the consumption of lignite in the thermal power plant, certain small changes in the values of the emission factor are no longer so negligible and have a considerable influence on the difference in the amounts of CO2 emitted. For this reason, regular sampling and experimental determinations are essential to track the changes in emission factor values.",
