4 Nashville International Airport Medium sized airport located in the southeast section of Nashville, TN. Serves as a public and military use airport. Ranked as the 32 nd busiest airport in the United States, averaging approximately 440 flights daily. Currently served by 10 airlines to both domestic and international destinations. 4

5 Chevron Pascagoula Refinery Located in the Bayou Casotte Industrial Park in Pascagoula, Mississippi. 11 th largest refinery by capacity in the United States with the ability to process approximately 330,000 barrels of crude oil per day. The Pascagoula refinery currently produces motor gasoline, jet fuel, diesel fuel. 5

13 Camelina Camelina is an oilseed crop that contains a unique fatty acid profile that makes it a viable candidate for the production of biofuels. The oil content of Camelina seeds ranges from 32% - 46%. Camelina oil is mainly used in conjunction with petroleum fuels to make jet fuel or can be used to make biodiesel. 13

42 Conclusion Based on total emissions both Camelina Biodiesel and Shale Gas are comparable with respect to total emissions. The current route for Camelina Biodiesel is more cost effective route when compared to the proposed future route. Based on total Fuel Consumption, less Camelina Biodiesel is required to transport jet fuel to the Nashville Airport than Shale Gas. Based on cost analysis for both fuels including future and current routes, Shale Gas is the most cost effective fuel between the two. 42

Why is a towboat called a towboat when it pushes the barges?

Why is a towboat called a towboat when it pushes the barges? Why is a towboat called a towboat when it pushes the barges? The word "tow" comes from the canal age when a draft animal walking along the bank of the canal pulled a barge. As rivermen gained experience
