Intent:

Reduce fuel consumption and lower air emissions resulting from waste collection

Requirements:

Option 1: Demonstrate fleet fuel economy or criteria emissions per ton-mile of solid waste collection

• Level 1: Fleet efficiency of 3.4 miles per gallon/gallons diesel equivalent
• Level 2: Fleet efficiency of 3.55 miles per gallon/gallons diesel equivalent

Option 2: Demonstrate fuel economy of <2.8 annual gallons per ton of waste collected

or

• annual emissions per ton of waste collected according to the following table:

Potential Strategies

• Baseline: MPG or MPGGE (Gallon-gasoline equivalents)
  • GGE conversion factors: https://epact.energy.gov/fuel-conversion-factors
  • Diesel gallon equivalents = gasoline gallon equivalents * 1.155
