Executive Summary
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health recommends that whole diesel exhaust
be regarded as a "potential occupational carcinogen," and that reductions in workplace exposure
would reduce carcinogenic risks. The Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) has
recently adopted new approval and certification regulations for diesel equipment, and proposed
more stringent air quality regulations including a proposal to regulate diesel particulate matter
(PM).
In 1995, MSHA convened a committee to recommend regulations to minimize DPM exposure
and consider a possible permissible exposure limit for PM, and the American Conference of
Governmental Industrial Hygienists added PM to the List of Intended Changes for 1995-96 with
a threshold limit value (TLVTM) recommendation of 0.15 mg/m3. If MSHA were to adopt this
TLVTM for underground mines many mines using diesel equipment in the U. S. would be out of
compliance. Typical mean concentrations of DPM in mines range from 0.2 to 1.5 mg/m3. This
TLVTM would impose limitations on the current and future use of diesel equipment unless
improved emission control strategies are developed for the mining industry.
Biodiesel is a common term for a number of different alkyl mono-esters of fatty acids that can be
used as diesel fuel or blended with petroleum diesel fuels. Neat biodiesel fuels and blends of
biodiesel and petroleum diesel fuels can be used to lower PM-emissions. The fuel-bound oxygen
of biodiesel fuels considerably reduces the formation of the carbon-soot constituents of PM. The
prices of likely biodiesel fuels are higher and more volatile than petroleum diesel fuels.
Biodiesel fuels offers the potential for substantially reducing PM-emissions without the need for
miner training, or the maintenance and replacement of hardware required by other PM-emissions
control strategies. For that reason, the National Biodiesel Board initiated a project with the
University of Minnesota - Center for Diesel Research to compare the costs of using a common,
neat biodiesel fuel and biodiesel fuel blends to the costs of using other types of emissions
controls in underground mines.
The overall objective of this project was to compare the cost of using neat biodiesel fuel and
blends of biodiesel and petroleum diesel fuel to the cost of using other emission controls that
may be used in underground mines. The specific goals were to evaluate the equipment life cycle
costs of converting mine equipment to different types of emission controls, and to develop two
case study examples of the net present value costs of converting mining equipment to biodiesel
and emission controls.
This report reviews emission control technology for underground diesel-powered equipment, and
compares the life cycle costs of using emission controls and biodiesel and biodiesel blends for
ten mine vehicles. It also gives the results from two discounted cost analyses of using biodiesel
and emission controls in a metal mine and a coal mine.
The equipment life cycle analyses indicated that biodiesel at $1.50/gal may be a viable PMcontrol
strategy for light-duty nonpermissible equipment, and some types of permissible
equipment. It does not look competitive on heavy-duty nonpermissible equipment. The use of
4
exhaust filters for PM-control will result in ambient PM reductions exceeding 65%, and mine operators would need to use straight biodiesel with catalytic converters to get comparable reductions.
Based on the discounted cost analyses, it appears that biodiesel will need to fall below $2.00/gal to be competitive with filters for coal mines, and below $1.25/gal for metal mines. However, biodiesel has advantages that filters do not. The use of biodiesel in mines would be easy to implement, and would not require miner training. There are no new maintenance procedures introduced, whereas machines are pulled out of production to replace, regenerate, or perform maintenan
