Hi Don,

In the Input tab, when I change the average km shipped by truck for Canola Oil to Plant (cell L80), the results in Upstream Results HHV for Biodiesel Canola Oil (cell AC19) does not change from the default value. Is that correct?

I am using version 5.0d.

Regards,

Changing L80 on the Input sheet does change the feedstock transmission emissions on the Upstream Results sheet (AC12).

Cell AC19 on the Upstream results sheet are the emission credits for the canola meal and the glycerine. I would not expect either of these to change with canola oil transportation distances. The meal production is "upstream" of the oil transportation and the glycerine credit is done by displacement so it isn't impacted by oil or biodiesel production emissions.

Thanks for the clarification, Don.

Where would you suggest the user input data to obtain emissions from shipping feedstock to the plant and the finished fuel from the plant to the customer, i.e. distances traveled?

You are entering the feedstock distance in the correct place. The finished fuel distance is entered in column AD in rows 91 to 101. Just make sure that you have a mode fraction and the distance entered and at least one of the distances must have a non zero value.
