• Abstract:
  The overall purpose of this study was to determine the impact on energy consumption and emissions production, for transporting wheat and barley, from a drawdown of the Snake River, using regionally specific coefficients. Specific objectives were to: (1) Develop regional energy intensity and emissions production coefficients; (2) Apply the regional coefficients to the model used in the Lee and Casavant study; (3) Determine the impact of the drawdown on energy and emissions related to transportation; (4) Evaluate the implications of using regionally specific versus national energy coefficients in analyzing impacts of drawdowns.
