[+] CO2 saved per hour: [ ] lbs
This is the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) saved per hour by running the gas turbine
generator versus purchasing power from the University's local electric supplier
(DTE). Gas turbine generators are a cleaner source of electricity compared to
DTE's average emissions data. DTE produces 1,563 pounds of CO2 per Megawatt-Hour,
while natural gas turbine generators in Michigan produce 541.49 pounds of CO2 per
Megawatt-Hour. If the University's turbine ran for 80% of the year, we would save
over 14,000 tons of CO2 per year, the equivalent of removing 2,326 vehicles off
of the road each year! See here for DTE's
emissions data, here for Michigan's gas turbine
emissions data, and here
for the Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies Calculator.
[+] SO2 saved per hour: [ ] lbs
This is the amount of sulfur dioxide (SO2) saved per hour by running
the gas turbine generator versus purchasing power from the University's local
electric supplier (DTE). Gas turbine generators are a cleaner source of electricity
compared to DTE's average emissions data. DTE produces 7.4 pounds of SO2 per
Megawatt-Hour, while natural gas turbine generators in Michigan produce 0.32 pounds
of SO2 per Megawatt-Hour. If the University's turbine ran for 80% of the year, we
would save over 99 tons of SO2 per year! See here
for DTE's emissions data and here for Michigan's
gas turbine emissions data.
[+] NOx saved per hour: [ ] lbs
This is the amount of nitrous oxides (NOX) saved per hour by running the gas turbine
generator versus purchasing power from the University's local electric supplier (DTE).
Gas turbine generators are a cleaner source of electricity compared to DTE's average
emissions data. DTE produces 2.34 pounds of NOX per Megawatt-Hour, while natural gas
turbine generators in Michigan produce 0.3572 pounds of NOX per Megawatt-Hour. If the
University's turbine ran for 80% of the year, we would save over 27 tons of NOX per
year! See here for DTE's emissions data and
here for Michigan's gas turbine emissions data.
