Orange County <br />367-OC5310 - Recycling Processor <br />23 <br />25% and 50% Annual Load Reduction Scenarios – Diesel Fuel Savings and Annual GHG <br />Emissions Savings <br />• The round trip truck mile savings of the recycling material going to WM MRF versus Sonoco MRF <br />is 18.1 miles x 2 = 36.2 miles per load. <br />• Total transfer loads: 1,380 loads per year. <br />• 25% reduction of those loads represents 345 loads per year <br />o 345 x 36.2 mile savings per load = 12,489 truck miles per year savings <br />o At 5 miles per gallon assumed collection vehicle fuel efficiency, that equates to annual diesel fuel savings of 2,497.8 gallons <br />o Using the GHG Protocol Mobile Combustion GHG Emissions Calculations tool, the <br />annual GHG emissions savings associated with 12,489 less round trip truck miles would be: 25.37 MTCO2e (metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent) <br />• 50% reduction of those loads represents 690 loads per year <br />o 690 x 36.2 mile savings per load = 24,978 truck miles per year savings <br />o At 5 miles per gallon assumed collection vehicle fuel efficiency, that equates to annual <br />diesel fuel savings of 4,995.6 gallons <br />o Using the GHG Protocol Mobile Combustion GHG Emissions Calculations tool, the annual GHG emissions savings associated with 24,978 less round trip truck miles would <br />be: 50.74 MTCO2e (metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent) <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: B04ECF89-C776-496E-B171-26200EC380B9DocuSign Envelope ID: 74AC82FB-6B61-4F7C-BEDC-A1C3DB19140C
