Electrical Power Reduction & Carbon Credit Calculator
How RPI Can Help You Maximize Savings and Sustainability
Actual kW Reduction is based on your measured kW before, measured kW after, operating hours per year, cost per kWh and the equipment being converted for this analysis.
Estimated kW Reduction can be used to estimate your savings in power reduction and carbon credits when you don’t have measured kWs. You only need to know your operating hours per year, cost per kWh and total HP converting to Royal Purple Industrial lubricants.

Summary
Electric power reduction is a result of reducing the kW from 491.99 to a lower kW of 489.92. A 2.07 kW reduction will result in an annual savings of $1341 and an existing annual expenditure of $402.68, based on converting 10 pieces of equipment operating 7200 hours per year.
Carbon credits are calculated by multiplying the Eq Mw (0.00207) by the annual operating hours of a power plant (8,760 hours) and the estimated T/MWH of the relevant factors. The results are as follows:
- 22.67 per ton for CO2 reduction from coal
- 9.07 per ton for CO2 reduction from natural gas
- 14.33 per ton for CO2 reduction from diesel
- 12.82 per ton for CO2 reduction from combined sources
