 + Electricity generation sources need not be shown.  Use 10,500 Btu/kWh

 + Define one unit-year of operation (What is a typical process unit?  What is the typical unit capacity? (E.g. tons/year/unit, million Btu/year/unit, size of one plant or process using the new process/equipment/model, etc.)

Column 1: is the type of energy.  Use as many rows as necessary to describe the energy savings applicable to the current technology.

 Column 2: (a) is the energy consumed or produced with the current technology.

 Column 3: (b) is the energy consumed or produced by the new technology.

 Column 4: (c): is the per unit energy savings (derived from ‘a - b’).

 Column 5 (d): is the number of units expected to be in place in 10 years (specify period).

 Column 6: (e) is the cumulative savings (derived from ‘c * d’)

 This table should cover all the energy uses, including:

·          ENERGY AND PETROLEUM EMBODIED IN THE MANUFACTURE OF PRODUCTS;

·          TRANSPORTATION ENERGY FOR HAULING OF WASTE TO DISPOSAL (USE 130,000 BTU/GAL FOR GROUND TRANSPORTATION FUEL);

·          ANY COAL OR DERIVED PRODUCT USE;

·          ENERGY USED IN WASTE REDEMPTION, TREATMENT OR DISPOSAL;

·          ANY PETROLEUM PRODUCT USED;

·          ANY NATURAL GAS PRODUCT USED;

·          ELECTRICITY (USE A POWER GENERATION RATE OF 10,500 BTU/KILOWATT HOUR)
