This is the amount (in grams) of a particular constituent emitted by a locomotive’s diesel engine for a given amount of mechanical work (brake horsepower) over one hour for a specified duty cycle. This measurement allows a ready comparison of the relative cleanliness of two engines, regardless of their rated power. RAC LEM Protocol: This is the collection of financial and statistical data from RAC members and the RAC database (where these data are systematically stored for various RAC applications). Data from the RAC’s database used in this report include freight traffic revenue tonne kilometres and gross tonne kilometres, intermodal statistics, passenger traffic particulars, fuel consumption, average fuel sulphur content and locomotive inventory. The Class I railways’ Annual Reports and Financial and Related Data submissions to Transport Canada also list much of these data. x LEM 2008
Conversion Factors Related to Railway Emissions Emission Factors (in grams or kilograms per litre of diesel fuel consumed) Emission Factors for the Criteria Air Contaminants (NOx, CO, HC, PM) in g/L are specific to individual engine and locomotive types, and are obtained from test measurements. Emission Factor for Sulphur Dioxide (SO 2 ) 0.00025 kg / L (based on 147 ppm sulphur in diesel fuel) Emission Factors for Greenhouse Gases: Carbon Dioxide CO 2 2.66300 kg / L Methane CH 4 0.00015 kg / L Nitrous Oxide N 2 O 0.00110 kg / L Hydrofluorocarbons* HFC Perfluorocarbons* PFC Sulphur hexafluoride* SF 6 CO † 2 equivalent of all six GHGs 3.00715 kg / L Global Warming Potential for CO 2 1 Global Warming Potential for CH 4 21 Global Warming Potential for N 2 O 310 * not present in diesel fuel † Sum of constituent Emissions Factors multiplied by their Global Warming Potentials Conversion Factors Related to Railway Operations Imperial gallons to litres 4.5461 U.S. gallons to litres 3.7853 Litres to Imperial gallons 0.2200 Litres to U.S. gallons 0.2642 Miles to kilometres 1.6093 Kilometres to miles 0.6214 Metric tonnes to tons (short) 1.1023 Tons (short) to metric tonnes 0.9072 Revenue ton-miles to Revenue tonne-kilometres 1.4599 Revenue tonne-kilometres to Revenue ton-miles 0.6850 Metrics Relating Railway Emissions and Operations Emissions in this report are displayed both as an absolute amount and as ‘intensity’, that is, as a ratio that relates a specific emission to productivity or units of work performed. An example of emissions intensity metrics is the ratio NOx per 1,000 RTK; that is, the mass in kilograms of NOx emitted per 1,000 revenue tonne-kilometres of freight hauled. xi LEM 2008
