Tailpipe greenhouse gas emissions from tank trucks transporting raw milk from farms to processing plants

Abstract: a b s t r a c tAn analysis of greenhouse gas emissions (carbon dioxide equivalents, CO 2 e) was conducted from 2007 databases for 211,216 round trips of tank trucks that delivered raw milk from farms to processing plants in the United States of America. The total amount of milk was 4.81 Â 10 9 kg, or about 17.4% of the 2007 total USA production for use as fluid milk products. Average round trip distance was 850 km resulting in tailpipe emissions of 0.050 kg CO 2 e kg À1 milk delivered or 0.071 kg CO 2 e kg À1 … Show more

“…This value is much greater than the value specified by Quinlan (2013) of 79 km per return trip per route. It is also worth noting that the distance of 169 km is far less than that found by Ulrich et al (2013) for the US dairy industry, where the average round trip distance was 850 km.…”

“…We used a national average of 22,700‐liter (L) capacity diesel powered nonrefrigerated, insulated trucks with a 850‐kilometer (km) round‐trip distance from dairy farms to processing plants to model raw milk transport, which, in a calculated unit of transportation, translates to 0.85 tonne‐kilometers (tkm)/kg of raw milk (Ulrich et al. ).…”

“…Apart from that, HFC mainly emits in food processing industry, fishing industry, poultry farms, milk processing industry, meat-processing industry and fire-fighting equipment production industry (Sumathipala, 2015). In milk processing industry, the HFC emission sources can be identified by referring to the way of using HFC based appliances in milk processing phases (Ulrich et al, 2013). Thus, the current use of HFC can be recognised during its importation, operation, maintenance and disposal stages.…”

“…Leakages of refrigerant can be occurred when milk is transported from one place to another through trucks (Ulrich et al, 2013). Further, refrigerant losses can be occurred through cold rooms and refrigerated warehouses, milk storage tanks and chillers at milk processing plants (Tang et al, 2017).…”
