We are pleased to attach the description of a measure to Well-To-Wheels reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions (the report “An economic and environmental gasoline”), in its turn containing two enclosures. The measure, that can be carried out now, complies with the maximum benefits for California, as defined by the AB 32 bill. In fact - the measure reduces considerably the GHG emissions both in the gasoline production and consumption segments, - this reduction does not happen at cost but with a (huge) profit per ton of GHG reduced and - the measure also reduces all types of the toxic or harmful emissions, consequently also improving public health and environment. The above report considers and figures up the profit carried out by the measure. We observe yet that this profit is a direct, cash one. The report does not consider, it neglects, the economic value of the yet accomplished avoided damages, of the avoided deaths, of the improved health et cetera. According to the Climate Change Draft Scoping Plan, Table 1, page 8, by applying to 10 California refineries even the bare carbon dioxide reduction carried out by this measure technology for the report 180,000 b/cd case study refinery, hence by neglecting the reduction of the other greenhouse gases the technology obtains, the measure accomplishes a CO2 emission reduction over the 2002-2004 average emission of 3.95 / 469 = 0.84 %. Thank you. |
