Greenhouse Gas Reductions

• Reduction of Waste Hydrocarbon Oil Pollutants
  Through Oz Future Fuels re-refining process waste hydrocarbon oils have an estimated 80% reduction in oil contaminates as indicated in the table below. This significant reduction in waste stream contaminates ensures polluted matter is not released into the environment through either dumping or oil burning practice.

  Waste Hydrocarbon Oil Contaminates	Waste Engine Oil Parts Per Million (PPM)	Estimated Re-refined Fuel Oil Parts Per Million (PPM)	Pollutants from Burning the waste hydrocarbon oil as Burner Fuel	Percentage Reduction in Pollutants from Refining Technology
  Ash Chlorine Nitrogen Sulphur Aluminium Arsenic Barium Cadmium Chromium Iron Lead Magnesium Zinc	6500 2200 1000 5000 45 12 66 1 6 240 1100 260 800	25 100 300 2400 8 0.8 0.5 0.3 1.3 12 1.8 6.3 3.6	Carbon Monoxide (CO) Sulphur Oxides (SOx) Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) Particulate Matter (PM) Particles less than 10 (PM-10) Organic Compounds Global Warming Gases (CO2 and Methane)	Through the re-refining of the waste hydrocarbon oils it is estimated that the pollutants within the waste hydrocarbon oils are reduced by 80%.

• Reduction in Transportation Emissions
  Oz Future Fuels operates trucks and forklifts with a bio diesel blend emitting under a third of the greenhouse gas emissions compared to diesel engines.
  
  Every litre of Diesel emits around 2.74 kg per litre of CO2 emissions, whereas Bio diesel emits only .73 kg of CO2 per litre.
  
  Vehicles used for waste Hydrocarbon collection:
  • Registered Waste collection Truck
  • Forklift
  Currently, each load of waste transported from the Bowen Basin to Brisbane using standard waste collectors emits around 1.5 Metric Tonnes of Greenhouse gases per trip. Through Oz Future Fuels bio diesel fuelled trucks these carbon emissions can be reduced to around 1/3 of this rate releasing only .5 metric tonnes of greenhouse gases per trip of waste collection and treatment. CO 2 emission -991 grams per Kilometre (Faiz, Weaver and Walsh, Air Pollution from Vehicles).
  
  Furthermore, our onsite forklift operates on a bio diesel mixture producing around 1/3 of the greenhouse gas emissions compared to diesel powered forklifts. It is estimated that our forklift operates for around 12 hours per fortnight at a coal mine producing an insignificant volume of greenhouse gases compared to diesel fuelled forklifts.
• Vehicles and Machinery - Reduced Fuel Emissions
  As mentioned every litre of Diesel emits around 2.74 kg per litre of CO2 emissions, whereas Bio diesel emits only .73 kg of CO2 per litre.
  
  It is estimated that around 50,000 litres of re-refined fuel oil is supplied to our standard clients per month. This figure is based on the collection of the clients waste volume and fluctuates with volume changes in onsite waste oil. It is estimated that through onsite usage of the re-refined fuel oil greenhouse gas emission will be reduced by 1206 metric tonnes of CO2 per year.
  

  Fuel	Litres per year	Emissions
  Diesel Fuel	600,000	1644 Metric Tonnes of CO2
  Bio diesel Fuel	600,000	438 Metric Tonnes of CO2
  	Reduction per year	1206 Metric Tonnes of CO2
