1 Sustainability Brent, Tom, Andrew, Nate

2 Definition of sustainability A self-sufficient system with little waste of resources, reuse of as many possible resources, the cleanest possible use of resources, and the smallest possible operating cost.

3 Concepts With our definition in mind we decided to focus in on the transportation around campus and narrowed our ideas down to these four: – Bicycle renting system – Hybrid vehicles for OPP – Biofuels (specifically B20) – P-series fuels

4 UTV seven gallon diesel gas tank Final Idea We ended up choosing the B20 biofuel to power the UTV’s

5 Original System Gas Tank EngineExhaust Diesel

6 New System Gas TankExhaustEngine B20 Fuel 20% Cooking Oil 80% Diesel

7 Conclusion The 20% bio-fuel would come from the cooking oil used in the dining halls (reuse/littlewaste) Using the B20 fuel to power the UTV’s requires no change to the engine (cost effective) A simple strain of the cooking oil and placed into the tanks of the UTV’s would result in the saving of $30,000 to $40,000 per year depending what the exact amount of hours OPP runs them a year. (cost effective) Lower emissions for the B20 fuel rather than pure diesel (clean use) NOx- nitrogen oxide PM- particulate matter CO- carbon monoxide HC- hydrocarbons
