This document summarizes emissions data from 2008-2010 for Sekisui S-Lec America LLC's facility in Winchester, Kentucky. It reports that in 2008, the facility emitted 4,061,653 kg of CO2 and consumed 7,563,600 kWh of electricity. It also discusses emissions from natural gas consumption, propane forklifts, diesel trucks contracted for freight, and a 15% reduction in landfill usage from 2008-2010. Calculation methods are provided for estimating CO2 and other emissions from energy usage.
2. Sekisui S-Lec America, LLC Facility 1200
Rolling Hills Lane Winchester, Kentucky 2008
7,563,600 kWh (average emission standard)
Electricity Consumed which equates into:
4,061,653 kg of CO2 out gassed into
atmosphere yearly (2008)
1,108,831.3 kg of Carbon
3. 2,500 m2 of natural gas consumed which
equates into:
19,450 thermal units generating 105,438 kg of
CO2 out gassed into atmosphere

4. Two propane forklifts, one at Paris Kentucky
offsite warehouse, one at Winchester
warehouse facility. Propane impact:
30.16 liters x 1.50 = 45 x 126 =
Calculation for propane
consumption, emissions to atmosphere: 30.16
liters x 1.50 = 45 x 126 =
5670 kg CO2 emissions per year combined.
5. Class 8 OTR freight trucks: All firms’ use 2006 or newer
chassis utilizing Cummins engines. EPA rules changed in
2007 and will change again in 2010 calling for and
mandating stricter diesel ppm emissions. With that
said, Sekisui S-Lec, America, LLC does not currently own a
fleet but instead contracts out freight on an as needed basis.
Sekisui does not control the freight companies purchasing
habits or control the class 8 trucks in any particular fleet.
The following data however can be published based on real
world numbers from the freight companies utilized
Diesel fuel consumed: 600,000 gallons or 2,268,000 liters
Particulate matter produced: 38.6 MJ/l (138,700 BTU per US
gallon) = 3,320,296 kilograms per year at current rate
6. Freighter Ship lines: Maersk, Kline, NYK, fuel
consumption and emissions NA
Air freighter: Various, fuel consumption and
emissions NA
Rail: Norfolk Southern, BNSF, CSX fuel
consumption and emissions NA
8. I P Pe = − 0 (where P is the average static absolute
pressure and is the average extraction absolute
pressure. 0 Pe
The radial distance (re) at which I becomes zero is
determined by direct measurement in probes at
various distances or, as is most commonly done, by
extrapolating the ROI from a semi-logarithmic
plot of the I versus the log of radial distance.
Assuming that the average static and extraction
pressures can be reliably determined in the presence of
natural variations in atmospheric pressure
and that the extraction rate is constant, the LFG
generation rate within the ROI is assumed to equal
the gas extraction rate)
