Efficiency and Fleets
- Idle Reduction Program
- Reduced Idle Time by 46 from 2007
- Reduced fuel usage by 4,700G (5,200G potential
FY) - Total Savings YTD 19,000 (20,000 potential FY)
- Reduced Carbon Footprint by 53 Tons / 15 cars
- 250 / month awarded in incentives

11INSIDE FLEET ENVIRONMENTAL INITIATIVES
Efficiency and Fleets
- Alternative Fuel (Non-Food Based)
- Displaced 75K Gallons of ULSD through Biofuel
use. - Reduced Carbon footprint by 836 Tons / 239 Cars
- Total Savings YTD 20,000 (35,000 Since Program
Launch) - MPG Trend 2006 5.66, 2007 5.89, 2008 5.96
12Why Bio-Diesel?
- Bio-diesel reduces emissions
- Bio-Fuel Debate Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) key
- The exhaust emissions of carbon monoxide from
biodiesel are on average 48 lower than
traditional diesel fuel - The exhaust emissions of particulate matter from
biodiesel are 47 lower than overall particulate
matter emissions from diesel. - The exhaust emissions of total hydrocarbons are
67 lower for biodiesel than diesel fuel. - Bio-diesel has positive health effects vs.
typical fossil fuels - Bio-diesel is nontoxic
- Bio-diesel is biodegradable
- The ozone forming potential of hydrocarbon
exhaust emission from bio-diesel is 50 less. - The exhaust emissions of sulfur oxides and
sulfates from bio-diesel are completely
eliminated.

PROJECTSINSIDE FLEET ENVIRONMENTAL INITIATIVES
- Synthetic Oil Project (09 Trial)
- Move from 18K mile drains to 60K mile drains
- CPG is a break even at 45K mile drains
- Project up to 3 increase in MPG
- Fleet FY potential at 3 is 90K savings
- Program launched in Jan 2009
- Starting with 2 Tractors as test vehicles
- Oil analysis done with first change waste oil,
then every 18K - Results shared with West Coast
- Trial will run FY to determine Fleet potential
14Efficiencys and the Bottle
- Minimize material use
- Minimize energy required
- Reduce GHGs
- Reduce costs
- Increase and sustain efficiency

17Project Goals
- Save Fuel Oil (25 target)
- Create good quality product
- Have no negative impact on process
- Do not add to QA workload
- ISO 14001 Compliant

The dip in September was due to extra fuel being
delivered to bring a fuel oil tank Back on line
that had been taken off line. One way ANOVA shows
significant improvement

23Annual Estimated Savings
24Tempering Results
- Dispelled established beliefs that cold water
would have a negative impact on downstream
processes. Running successfully at 45F. - Team was surprised by extent of savings
throughout the year. Target 25 currently at
68. - At Hollis, this project will save approximately
190,000 gallons fuel or 510,000 at a cost of
3,000 (simple ROI51 hours). - Companywide savings are forecasted to save an
annual 1.3 million dollars _at_ current fuel costs.
- Simultaneous to this project, the plant
considered a project to capture wasted heat from
the chillers. At that time free heat was
estimated to save 200,000 gallons fuel oil at a
cost of 1.4 million and a savings of 540,000
(simple ROI of 2.6 years). - Eliminates 11.6 million lbs or 5,800 tons CO2
(includes Hollis, Poland Spring, Mecosta and
Allentown)

26The Future
27Hydrogen Fuel Cells
Replace Lead Acid Batteries on Industrial
Equipment
28Hybrid Vehicles
- Technology primarily for automobiles and light
duty trucks - Tax credits
- National credits not likely
- State credits will probably be limited and small
in scope - Wal-Mart testing is finding ROI a challenge
- Aerodynamic improvements help, but only
marginally - NWNA introducing hybrid utility vehicles in 2008
29Recommended Policies and Actions
- Expand Efficiency Maine-type incentive programs
helped us achieve significant electric savings. - Develop companion program for fuel (2, propane,
etc) use reduction incentives. - Develop and promote successful efficiency
stories. - Incentivize LEED and other Green Building
initiatives.
