Statistical Analysis 31 F-tests and t-tests will be used to analyze OV and Quality Acceptance data. The F-test is a 32 comparison of variances to determine if the OV and Quality Acceptance population variances 33 are equal. The t-test is a comparison of means to determine if the OV and Quality Acceptance 34 population means are equal. In addition to these two types of analyses, independent verification 35 and observation verification will also be used to validate the Quality Acceptance test results.

DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS The goal of this task is to collect operational data from the project, to analyze that data for economic and environmental impacts, and to include the data and analysis in the Final Report. The Recipient shall: • Develop a data collection plan. • Troubleshoot any issues identified. • Collect at least six months of data, including: o Throughput, usage, and operations data o Normal operating hours, up time, down time, and explanations of variations o Feedstock supply summary o Maximum capacity of the new fuel production system in diesel gallon equivalents (DGE) and ordinary units o Gallons of gasoline and/or diesel fuel displaced (with associated mileage information), along with value converted into DGE o Record of wastes from production processes (wastewater, solid waste, criteria emissions, etc.) o Expected air emissions reduction, for example: Non-methane hydrocarbons Oxides of nitrogen Non-methane hydrocarbons plus oxides of nitrogen Particulate Matter Formaldehyde o Duty cycle of the current fleet and the expected duty cycle of future vehicle acquisitions, if applicable o Specific jobs and economic development resulting from this project o Levelized cost of fuel and finished fuel price o Analysis of total facility costs, operation and maintenance costs, marginal abatement costs • Comply with the Petroleum Industry Information Reporting Act (PIIRA) and complete CEC Form M810E and CEC Form M13 on a monthly basis for submission to the California Energy Commission’s PIIRA Data Collection Unit. • Provide a written record of registering with the Low Carbon Fuel Standard and Renewable Fuel Standard programs. • Identify any current and planned use of renewable energy at the facility. • Describe any energy efficiency measures used in the facility that may exceed Title 24 standards in Part 6 of the California Code Regulations. • Provide data on potential job creation, economic development, and increased state revenue as a result of expected future expansion. • Provide a quantified estimate of the project’s carbon intensity values or provide an Air Resources Board approved pathway carbon intensity. • Estimate annual life-cycle greenhouse gas emission reduction. • Compare any project performance and expectations provided in the proposal to Energy Commission with actual project performance and accomplishments. • Collect data, information, and analysis described above and include in the Final Report.
