Hydrogen and its uses and cost savings.
Assuming a typical Class 8 truck with a fuel economy of 6 miles per gallon (mpg), and an average fuel price of $3.50 per gallon.
Let's explore the potential emissions reduction for Okie Hydrogen's fleet of 400 trucks.
## Emissions Reduction Potential
By transitioning to hydrogen fuel cells, the fleet can significantly reduce its emissions. Here's a breakdown of the potential emissions reduction:
- *Nitrogen Oxides (NOx)*: Hydrogen fuel cells produce zero tailpipe NOx emissions, reducing the fleet's NOx emissions by 100%.
- *Particulate Matter (PM)*: Hydrogen fuel cells also produce zero PM emissions, reducing the fleet's PM emissions by 100%.
- *Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions*: Hydrogen fuel cells can reduce GHG emissions by up to 98%, depending on the production method of the hydrogen.
## Calculating Emissions Reduction
To calculate the exact emissions reduction, we can use the Heavy-Duty Vehicle Emissions Calculator (HDVEC) developed by Argonne National Laboratory. This tool estimates the vehicle operation NOx and PM emissions, as well as the well-to-wheel GHG emissions of commercially available alternative fuel medium- and heavy-duty vehicles.[¹](https://afleet.esia.anl.gov/hdv-emissions-calculator/)
## Incentives and Funding
There are also incentives and funding available to support the transition to zero-emission vehicles. The Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA) grant program, for example, provides funding to help fleets replace older diesel vehicles with newer, cleaner models. The program can cover up to 45% of the cost of a new zero-emission truck.[²](https://www.nikolamotor.com/blog/apply-for-a-nationwide-grant-to-reduce-diesel-emissions-for-your-fleet)
## Regulatory Compliance
It's essential to note that regulatory bodies like the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the California Air Resources Board (CARB) are implementing stricter emissions standards for commercial vehicles. Okie Hydrogen's hydrogen fuel cell solutions can help fleets comply with these regulations and reduce their emissions.[³](https://www.atob.com/blog/fleet-emissions-compliance-for-commercial-fleets)
By transitioning to hydrogen fuel cells, Okie Hydrogen's fleet can significantly reduce its emissions, comply with regulatory requirements, and potentially benefit from incentives and funding programs.
## Fuel Consumption per 100 miles:
1. Calculate fuel consumption: 100 miles / 6 mpg = 16.67 gallons
## Fuel Savings with 40% Reduction:
1. Calculate fuel savings: 16.67 gallons * 0.40 = 6.67 gallons saved
2. Calculate new fuel consumption: 16.67 gallons - 6.67 gallons = 10 gallons
## Cost Savings:
1. Calculate cost savings: 6.67 gallons * $3.50 per gallon = $23.35 saved per 100 miles
By achieving a 40% reduction in fuel consumption, the truck would save approximately 6.67 gallons of fuel per 100 miles, resulting in a cost savings of $23.35 per 100 miles.
