Environmental Benefits. A Natural Resources Management Plan has been developed for the West Mountain Neighborhood Area. Its implementation over time, in addition to the planned dedication of open space lands, will improve and sustain the environmental quality of the entire Area. All sensitive lands will be protected and enhanced, degraded habitats will be restored, revegetation of highly visible presently denuded slopes will be conducted, and wildlife corridors enhanced and maintained. In particular, the Willow Draw Development Area will see substantial restoration in conjunction with the construction of a golf course.
Environmental Benefits. Two benefits result directly from the site specific process delisting for the copper plating rinsewater: a reduction in the quantity of hazardous waste generated by the IBM Burlington facility and a decrease in the IBM, State of Vermont, and EPA administrative requirements due to the elimination of the need to receive export permission and process United States hazardous waste manifests for the shipment of sludge to the Stablex facility in Quebec, Canada. IBM is also proposing that its efforts to reduce emissions of global warming gases from the chamber cleaning process for removal of silicon dioxide deposits be recognized as an environmental benefit associated with this project. IBM has independently developed an alternative process, using dilute Nitrogen Trifluoride, to clean silicon dioxide coated tooling xxxxxxxx which will reduce the overall global warming gas emissions at the Burlington manufacturing facility by 40-60% in the year 2000 when measured against the 1995 base year emissions despite significant increases in manufacturing output from 1995 to 2000. Conversion of process equipment to the dilute NF3 process, however, will require a capital investment of $2.0 M at the Burlington facility for the installation of gas cabinets and distribution piping. The conversion work is slated to be done in 1998 and 1999 at Burlington and through the year 2001 at other IBM semiconductor manufacturing sites. IBM is voluntarily taking action to reduce these emissions well ahead of any regulatory requirements, the requirements of the Memorandum of Understanding negotiated between USEPA and the Semiconductor Industry Association, and actions taken by other semiconductor manufacturing companies.
Environmental Benefits. In consideration of Customer’s receipt of the Rebate, Customer hereby assigns, transfers, and conveys to the City, without limitation, any and all environmental benefits associated with or attributable to the EV charging station, energy usage, and/or energy usage data, including, but not limited to, the associated California Low Carbon Fuel Standard Credits or successor credits.
Environmental Benefits. How will project provide SEP? This project was chosen as an XL Project because it has the potential to achieve environmental performance that is superior to what would have been achieved absent the XL Project. City of Xxxxxx has developed a qualitative baseline estimate of what would have happened to the environment absent the project and have compared that baseline estimate against the project's anticipated environmental performance to determine that the anticipated environmental performance will produce a level of environmental performance superior to the baseline (Table 4).
Environmental Benefits. There are over 100+ million Nigerians without access to clean energy, these people rely on traditional heating sources to fulfill their energy needs. These traditional sources include wood, charcoal, animal waste and rice husks. This has led to significant deforestation and health hazards especially in Northern Nigeria. The more privileged Nigerians in this stratum would depend on Kerosene which also has adverse health effects. This situation is further exacerbated by the fact that the majority (about 70%) of all existing and upcoming infrastructure is in the southern part of Nigeria. Our Project will in no small way change that narrative providing access to resources and hardware thereby minimizing GHG emissions and deforestation.
Environmental Benefits. Since the emission levels of the TRUs could not be tested (as this was not proposed and was outside the project scope), an emissions analysis was performed to compare the certified U.S. EPA emissions levels for diesel fueled TRU engines to the Vector eTRUs operating on electric power. Using the current U.S. EPA Tier 2 standards for engines in the 19-37 kW range (the size range for these TRU diesel engines), approximately 7.5 grams of NMHC+NOx (most of which is NOx), 0.6 grams of PM, and 5.5 grams of CO are emitted per kilowatt-hour by the average TRU. Since there were no data collected on the power output of the TRU when powered by diesel fuel, it was assumed that the power required to operate the unit would be equivalent to operating on electric power. Since the eTRU required 7.7 kW per hour when operating on electricity, we used this value to estimate diesel emissions from these engines. Table 4-1 below illustrates the EPA standards and the projected emissions for units operating on diesel fuel. Category of Pollutant Tier 2 Off Road Engine Standard (grams/kWh) Emissions Average @ 7.7 kW (grams/hr) NMHC+NOx 7.5 57.75 PM 0.60 4.62 CO 5.5 42.35 Table 4-1: U.S. EPA Emission Standards for Off-Road (including TRU) Diesel Engines up to 37kW in Size This type of comparison must also consider any emissions created by the electric power plants generating the electricity to power the Vector eTRUs. The power generation mix specific to New York State was used to develop the associated emissions from electricity generation (Sources: EPA and DOE/EIA). This table is shown in Table 4-2 below. Category of Pollutant New York State Electricity Generation Emissions (grams/kWh) Emissions Average @ 7.7 kW (grams/hr) NOx 0.518 3.99 PM10 0.078 0.60 CO 0.073 0.56 Table 4-2: New York State Electricity Generation Emissions The net emission reductions from using the eTRU electric power connection are shown in Table 4-3. This table also integrates the actual number of hours the eTRUs were powered by grid-supplied electricity as well as some projected emission benefits if the eTRUs were connected to electric power more often. Category of Pollutant Net emissions reduction (g/kWh) Percentage Emissions Reduction versus TRU operation Emissions Reduction Average @ 7.7 kW (g/hr) Annual Net Emission Benefits at XXXXXX (kg) * Annual Net Emission Benefits at 10% (876 hours) utilization (kg) ** Annual Net Emission Benefits at 25% (2190 hours) utilization (kg) *** NOx 6.982 93.1 % 53.76 63.60 47...
Environmental Benefits. The Parties recognize that programs and projects provided for in this Agreement will be developed and implemented not only to meet the needs of Upstream and Export Water Users and the flow-related objectives of the 1995 WQCP, but also to provide environmental benefits, including benefits to fish and wildlife, in the watershed of the Sacramento River.
Environmental Benefits. On page 5 of the Application, FEI states that “The Project will provide environmental benefits in the form of reduced GHG emissions. Assuming the 40,000 GJ of Biomethane produced annually displaces natural gas, an estimated 20,000 tonne CO2e2 of GHG emissions can be avoided over ten years.”
Environmental Benefits. ⮚ lower trade costs of green technologies ⮚ their increased uptake EGA Members
Environmental Benefits. (1) The Project will provide the opportunity to remove the existing quarry (i.e. a bare site) from the urban area and to enhance the existing landform of the Study Area through greening to create a green and liveable community.
