That's only about 40 pounds lighter than the power-lifter BMW R 1200 GS, despite having lost some weight through a half-gallon reduction in gas tank size.
Total MESP reductions are $0.44 per gallon for corn stover 34M95 and $0.54 per gallon for 33B51.
The new toilets send 1.2 gallons of water down the pipes each time they are used, a reduction from 3.5 to 4.5 gallons with the old toilets, Richard Fricione the building's head engineer, said.
The reductions in MESP are of the order of $0.11-$0.11-$0.14allof of ethanol, simply due to an average reduction of total project investment (TPI) of 50% on pretreatment reactors.
This 20-percent improvement in fuel economy corresponds to a 17-percent reduction in fuel consumption (gallons per mile).
Their reasons include reductions in fuel economy — a gallon of ethanol contains about one-third less energy than a gallon of gasoline — and alcohol's affinity for moisture, which can cause a multitude of engine problems.
Using water production as an indicator of urban use, the board reported a 7.5% reduction -- about 17 billion gallons -- in July compared with the same month a year ago, after a 4.4% reduction in June.
In 2012, ExxonMobil Baton Rouge submitted a 2013-14 greductionr reduction plan of 1.6 million gallons a day to the state's Department of Natural Resources and expects to meet that goal by next year's end.
If a less expensive reactor can be utilized in these lower severity pretreatments, it may be possible to lower the MESP by an additional $0.11 to $0.14 per gallon of ethanol if a 50% reactor cost reduction is assumed.
We found that representing water consumption simultaneously in terms of gallons and associated embodied energy led to a statistically significant reduction in water consumption, while representing water consumption only in terms of gallons did not.
The deficit-reduction fuel tax, 4.3 cents per gallon, was enacted in 1990 when the federal government's accounts were $124 billion in the red.
