  5. City of Toledo J. Blake Quinton Clint Messner Adam Szabo Santosh Pant Xue Ding Lucas County Kate Chulski Jeff Grabarkiewicz Greg Denman Hannah West PraneethNimmatoori Meet the teams

  6. Outline Objectives Terminology Protocol Background on Lucas County, City of Toledo Energy and emissions from different sectors Analysis of individual sectors Conclusions

  7. Objectives Analyze the energy use and greenhouse gas emissions of Lucas County and City of Toledo governments Recommend future actions

  8. Terminology Energy Inventory • kWh or BTU • Cannot differentiate clean energy GHG Inventory • Metric Tons Carbon dioxide equivalence (MT CO2e) • Accounts for clean energy

  9. Comparison of Energy Sources

  10. Using a GHG or Energy Inventory…

  11. (Direct) (Indirect) (Optional, not considered)

  12. Equivalent carbon dioxide (CO2e) There are 18 long acting greenhouse gases Each has unique thermal properties Some affect atmospheric temperature more than others The warming potential of each gas is used to determine CO2e CO2e is measured in metric tons

  13. Common Greenhouse Gases

  14. Putting CO2e into Perspective • The Toledo built Jeep Liberty has a highway fuel economy of 22 mpg according to the EPA. • It would need to be driven about 76 million miles to generate 30,400 metric tons of CO2e • How far is 76 million miles? • ⅘ of the distance between Earth and the Sun • 159 round trips to the Moon • 9,960 round trips from Toledo to Anchorage, AK

  15. Lucas County and City of Toledo Population: 463,493 people (2009) 340 total square miles 2010 General Fund Budget $132 million 1,137 Full-Time Equivalent Staff Population: 316,179 people (2009) 84.1 square miles or 24% of Lucas County 2009 Operating Budget $577 million 2,822 Full-Time Equivalent Staff 11

  16. Lucas County Facilities and Operations • 40 facilities • 1 WWTP • 59 pump stations • 170+ vehicles • 54 traffic signals

  17. City of Toledo Facilities and Operations 285+ facilities 1 WTP 1 WWTP 1 Active Landfill 1,900+ vehicles 4000 signal heads 3400 pedestrian heads Water Treatment Plant Wastewater Treatment Plant Hoffman Rd. Landfill City of Toledo Government Building

  18. Lucas County Data Collection 14

  19. City of Toledo Data Collection Data was verified with the 2010 Fiscal Budget 15

  24. Emissions and Energy Use by Sector 20

  25. Emission Totals by Sector Type 21

  26. Drinking Water Treatment Plant Lucas County No water treatment plant City of Toledo Collins Park WTP • Average capacity of 80 MGD • Population served- 500,000people 0 MT CO2e 17,200 MT CO2e 22

  27. Wastewater Treatment Facilities 7,544 MT CO2e 32,200 MT CO2e Lucas County Maumee River WWTP Capacity of 47 MGD Population served - 80,500 people City of Toledo Bay View WWTP Capacity of 102 MGD Population served- 363,500 people 23

  28. Wastewater Treatment Emissions 24

  29. Methods to Reduce Emissions from Water Treatment 25 • Energy generation • Recover methane from anaerobic digestion process • Reduce loading • High efficiency toilets • Composting toilets • Low-flow showerheads and faucets • Use of gray water • Use of rain gardens

  30. Emissions from Facilities Lucas County • 40 facilities City of Toledo • 285+ facilities 27,000 MT CO2e 204,000 MT CO2e 26

  31. Methods to Reduce Emissions from Facilities Lucas County City of Toledo 1 Megawatt First-Solar Photovoltaic Plant by August 2011 Decrease facilities energy use by 10% by December 2012 • Remotely controlled facility system projected to reduce energy use by 15-20% • Boiler improvements at county complex 701 Adams to increase energy efficiency 27

  32. Methods to Reduce Emissions from Facilities Lucas County City of Toledo 1 Megawatt First-Solar Photovoltaic Plant by August 2011 Decrease facilities energy use by 10% by December 2012 • Remotely controlled facility system projected to reduce energy use by 15-20% • Boiler improvements at county complex 701 Adams to increase energy efficiency • Further Steps • Energy Audit • Lighting • HVAC • Receptacles • Purchasing Policy 28

  33. Emissions from Vehicles Lucas County • 175+ vehicles City of Toledo • 1,900+ vehicles 1,800 MT CO2e 48,400 MT CO2e 29

  34. Methods to Reduce Emissions from Vehicles 30 • Procurement policy • Vehicle/engine replacement on oldest models • External technologies • anti-idling • retrofit

  35. Emissions from Traffic Signals Lucas County • 54 Traffic lights City of Toledo • 4,000 signal heads • 3,400 pedestrian heads 192 MT CO2e 2,200 MT CO2e 31

  36. Methods to Reduce Emissions from Traffic Signals 32 • Replaced all traffic signals with LED bulbs in 2003, reduced energy use by 80% per signal. (Lucas County) • All stoplights with LED bulbs by Dec. 2011, 65% complete. (City of Toledo) • Consider roundabouts at intersections. • Roundabouts reduce emissions created from signals, idling, and automobile wrecks

  37. Emissions from Landfill Lucas County • No landfill City of Toledo • Hoffman road landfill • Servicing the residents of Toledo until the year 2026 0 MT CO2e 41,800 MT CO2e 33

  38. Methods to Reduce Emissions From Landfill 34 • Improved recycling in County managed facilities from 68% to 94%. (Lucas County) • Recycling tonnage is up 300% since 2009. (City of Toledo) • Built combined generation plant at Bayview Wastewater Treatment Plant, runs on landfill gas captured on-site and at Hoffman Road Landfill, reduced CO2e emissions by 70% since 2010. (City of Toledo) • Create a composting station within Lucas County.
