Pollution Prevention Tools and Calculators

These calculators are valuable for helping P2 program grantees, technical assistance providers and others measure environmental outcomes and economic performance related to pollution prevention activities. 

  • P2 Cost Calculator (xlsm) : Calculates cost savings from P2 actions using state and national unit costs for fuel, energy, water purchases, treatment fees for wastewater and hazardous waste and permitted air emission fees. For hazardous substances and certain categories of impairment to water quality, the calculator relies on user-entered unit costs for calculating cost savings.
  • P2 Greenhouse Gas Calculator (xlsm) : Calculates greenhouse gas emission reductions from electricity conservation, green energy, fuel and chemical substitutions, water conservation and solvent remanufacturing. The calculator can also make a direct conversion of greenhouse gas reductions to related cost savings, drawing on data in the P2 Cost Calculator. 
  • P2 Calculator for Reductions in Hazardous Substances, Pollutants and Contaminants (xlsm) :Converts reductions of hazardous materials use and hazardous releases to air, water and land into pounds. The calculator also provides densities of hazardous materials and calculates reductions of solvents through remanufacturing.

Here is additional information on measurement for P2 grantees.

For additional assistance with the P2 calculators, contact Kathy Davey, davey.kathy@epa.gov.
