Methodology for Transport Energy Efficiency from Light Weight Pallets

This methodology outlines procedures to estimate the avoided net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions resulting from project activities involving the use of pallets—the flat, portable structures that support goods during handling, transportation and storage—that are lighter in weight than their conventional alternatives for freight transport. Typical GHG reduction projects with light weight pallets involve replacing an existing fleet of conventional wood pallets with light weight pallets or setting up a new fleet using light weight pallets.

Methodology for Efficiency Improvements HDV’s and Mobile Machinery

The methodology quantifies GHG emission reductions from activities which improve the efficiency of trucks and/or mobile machinery equipment e.g. bulldozers, road-building machines, etc. Measures to improve operating vehicle efficiency may include but are not limited to anti-idling devices, eco-drive, tire-rolling resistance improvement, air-conditioning system improvement, low viscosity oils, cab-heaters, aerodynamic drag reduction measures, transmission improvements, etc.
