City of Edgewater CNG Presentation

2014 Florida Public Works Expo

This document summarizes an economic feasibility study conducted for the City of Edgewater, Florida to evaluate converting their municipal fleet from diesel to compressed natural gas (CNG). Key findings include: converting 39 vehicles and building a CNG fueling station would cost $3.3 million initially but save $75,000 annually in fuel costs. The payback period would be 14.1 years initially but drop to 5.4 years once the fueling station is paid off. The recommendation is for the city to convert their fleet to CNG and open the fueling station to other fleets and vehicles.

Gas Price Hike Impact Analysis_final

Pranav Awasthi, CFA

The document discusses the impact of India's recent hike in domestic natural gas prices. It will have the following effects: 1) It will be positive for upstream oil and gas companies' earnings and investment sentiments, but the lack of clarity on premium prices for gas from complex offshore fields is a damper. 2) A material increase in domestic gas production is only likely after 4-5 years due to approval delays and the long lead time needed for developing fields. Investments by one consortium may also be subdued due to arbitration issues. 3) It will be marginally negative for the power, fertilizer, and gas distribution sectors as their price competitiveness weakens. 4) It will

In October of 2010, the Federal Office of Surface Mining (OSM) ceased implementing the Federal Emergency Response Program to address suddenly occurring, high-priority, abandoned mine land (AML) problems in Pennsylvania. In response to the cessation of the Emergency Program by OSM, Pennsylvania chose to not accept delegation of the Emergency Program from OSM but rather to set up and Accelerated Response Program to address the AML problems traditionally dealt with by OSM.

Ensuring the Effectiveness of Agricultural Best Management

Soil and Water Conservation Society

This document summarizes a pilot project in Maryland to verify agricultural best management practices (BMPs) in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. The project evaluated over 2,000 individual BMPs across five counties from September to December 2016. It found that 72% of BMPs were still meeting standards. The project is refining the verification process and coordinating with local soil conservation districts. Verification results through June 2017 showed 70% of BMPs met standards, with 24% no longer present and 4% not meeting standards. The project aims to strengthen accountability of reported BMPs to ensure effectiveness in improving water quality in the Chesapeake Bay.

The recommendation is to delay decisions on the program until the outcome of a tax reform issue.

CCXG Workshop, May 2021, Camila Labarca

OECD Environment

This document discusses Chile's national greenhouse gas inventory reporting system and opportunities to develop Common Reporting Tables (CRTs) for national GHG inventories. It provides a history of Chile's GHG inventory reports from 2014 to the present. It describes Chile's current tabular registry system used to compile the national inventory and addresses some key challenges in adapting this system to the CRT format, including adjustments needed to reporting requirements and managing large amounts of disaggregated data. It recognizes that CRTs could help guide documentation processes and quality control for countries without advanced systems but notes Chile would need to adjust planning to complete the transition on time and might require assistance to fully implement the new tables.

Lng use in trucking

Stephanie Camay

This document discusses the use of liquefied natural gas (LNG) as a fuel for trucks. It notes that LNG produces 30% fewer tailpipe carbon emissions than diesel fuel and represents a significant cost savings. While LNG is more dense than compressed natural gas (CNG), allowing for better vehicle range, it also requires more expensive infrastructure and vehicle modifications. The document outlines factors to consider when choosing between LNG and CNG, such as vehicle costs, engine types, weight and space requirements, and fuel availability. It predicts increasing adoption of LNG trucks and fueling stations in coming years, driven by economic benefits and pressure from shippers, with natural gas potentially displacing 12% of diesel fuel used for trucks
