Executive Summary

Metrolinx and Hydro One (as co-proponents) jointly completed the GO Rail Network Electrification Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) in 2017 to convert six Metrolinx-owned Rail Corridors from diesel to electric propulsion. Once electrification is implemented, the system will operate with a mixed fleet of diesel and electric trains, as not all tracks on all corridors will be electrified. Metrolinx currently has a fleet of 91 diesel locomotives, of which 17 are relatively new or recently refurbished models that comply with the most stringent emission limits (Tier 4), while the remainder cover a range of ages and emission levels (Tier 0 to Tier 3).

Since 2017, Metrolinx has developed a more detailed design and schedule for how increased passenger service will be delivered for the GO Rail Expansion Program in the future, involving further infrastructure and rail traffic changes. These proposed changes require a reassessment of potential air quality impacts as part of an addendum to the 2017 Electrification EPR.

RWDI was retained to complete an air quality impact assessment for the GO Rail Network to support the addendum to the 2017 Electrification EPR. The objective of this study was to assess air quality effects and how they will change from existing operations (2015) to the proposed future operations. The assessment of future operations was based on Metrolinx’s most recent projected future train service schedule established for the year 2037.

This report addresses the regional air quality impacts from the implementation of the GO Rail Expansion Program. The objective of this study is to assess how emissions from Greenhouse Gases (GHGs), and other contaminants will change from existing operations to the proposed future operations on a network-wide scale. Metrolinx also retained RWDI to conduct assessments of air quality effects at a local scale throughout the relevant portions of the network. The latter work is reported in a separate report for each corridor.

Two scenarios were analyzed, consisting of the baseline emissions from rail activity in 2015, and future emissions after the implementation of the Electrification project. The future emissions scenario was further divided into three electricity generation sub-scenarios with varying degrees of contribution from fossil fuels to electricity generation. Air contaminants considered in the study were the main ones associated with diesel combustion: Carbon Monoxide (CO), Nitrogen Oxides (NOX), Particulate Matter (PM2.5), and Carbon Dioxide Equivalent (CO2e).

With the proposed future operations emissions of criteria air contaminants NOX and PM2.5 are predicted to be lower than in the baseline scenario (2015) in the average electricity generation scenario. PM2.5 and NOx emissions are expected to be slightly higher in the capacity generation scenario. In the extreme scenario of 100% fossil-fuel-based electricity generation, emissions from all contaminants are expected to increase when compared to the baseline. Emissions of CO and CO2e will increase compared to the baseline, depending on the electricity generation scenario. The projected increase in train-kilometers travelled between Scenarios 1 and 2 is significantly higher than the increase in pollutant and CO2e emissions in all Electrification Scenarios. In all cases, the impact on province-wide emissions of air contaminants is small (<1%).

1 Introduction

Metrolinx and Hydro One (as co-proponents) jointly completed the GO Rail Network Electrification Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) in 2017 to convert six Metrolinx-owned Rail Corridors from diesel to electric propulsion. Once electrification is implemented, the system will operate with a mixed fleet of diesel and electric trains, as not all tracks on all corridors will be electrified. Metrolinx currently has a fleet of 91 diesel locomotives, of which 17 are relatively new or recently refurbished models that comply with the most stringent emission limits (Tier 4), while the remainder cover a range of ages and emission levels (Tier 0 to Tier 3). The 2017 Environmental Project Report (EPR) assessed the environmental effects associated with:

• The increase in rail traffic associated with the conversion from diesel to electric propulsion;

• Infrastructure improvements; and

• Installation of proposed traction power supply and power distribution components.

The TPAP received a Notice to Proceed and Metrolinx issued a Statement of Completion in December 2017. Since December 2017, Metrolinx developed a reference concept design that details how increased passenger service will be delivered for the GO Rail Expansion Program in the future. This work led to further proposed changes to rail infrastructure and a revised future train service schedule (presented in Appendix A), including descriptions of train type (diesel locomotive, electric locomotive), and train consists. This future rail schedule represents service levels for the year 20371.

As a result of these proposed changes the 2017 Electrification EPR must be amended. Existing and future air quality impacts associated with these changes were predicted to assess potential effects of the project on regional emissions.

1.1 Project Scope The regional air quality study compared network-wide air contaminant emissions from the future train service schedules to network-wide emissions from baseline GO Transit rail operations in 2015 (the baseline established in the 2017 EPR). Metrolinx also retained RWDI to conduct assessments of air quality effects at a local scale throughout the relevant portions of the network. That work is reported in a separate report for each corridor. Local air quality studies were completed only for corridors where diesel locomotive traffic was expected to increase and nearby receptors impacted by the increased emissions. While diesel service levels will remain the same or decrease (with electric train service taking up the planned increased service levels), there will be an increase in the number of diesel locomotives operating on some corridors. This is due to the need to power diesel trains with two locomotives rather than one during peak periods. Corridors with increased diesel train traffic include LSE, KIT, USRC and RH. For all other corridors, increased service levels will be achieved by adding electrified trains and diesel train traffic levels will either remain the same or decrease in future.

Criteria Air Contaminants (CACs) and Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) considered for the regional air quality study include:

• Carbon monoxide (CO)

• Nitrogen oxides (NOX)

1 This refers to the version of the future rail schedule developed in April 2020.

• Respirable Particulate Matter with a diameter of 2.5 micrometers or less (PM2.5)

• Carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2e)

The study scope includes seven Metrolinx-owned Rail Corridors. The study will exclude all other rail activity and corridors in the network. The seven corridors included in the scope are:

• Union Station

• Lakeshore West (including the Canpa Subdivision)

• Kitchener (up to the Halton Subdivision)

• Barrie

• Stouffville

• Lakeshore East

• Richmond Hill [up to Mile 4.38 (Pottery Road)]

All current Metrolinx Corridors are shown in Figure 1.

2 Methodology

Air quality impacts at a regional scale are quantified in terms of annual emissions of contaminants released into the atmosphere. This section discusses the methodology used to determine the annual emissions from GO rail activity before and after the Electrification project.

Two scenarios were considered in the regional air quality study:

• Scenario 1: The pre-project or baseline conditions represented by 2015 rail service

• Scenario 2: The post-project conditions represented by the future train service schedules

2.1 Scenario 1 (pre-project) All trains in Scenario 1 were assumed to be diesel-powered. For diesel-powered trains, each locomotive includes a main engine for motive power, and a generator, also known as a Head End Power (HEP) unit, to provide electricity to passenger cars for lighting, heating/cooling, etc. Both the engine and the HEP unit emit contaminants of concern through the combustion of diesel fuel.

The US EPA has sets of standards for emissions of CO, PM2.5 and NOX from various internal combustion sources including locomotives and generators. In order to reduce emissions, railway operations in Canada also comply with these standards through the Railway Safety Act. These standards are phased in through a tiered approach, where Tier 0 is the least stringent (highest emissions) and Tier 4 is the most stringent (lowest emissions). GO Transit currently uses a mix of diesel locomotives ranging from Tier 0 to Tier 42. For each tier, the US EPA provides emission factor limits (g/bhp-hr) for contaminants of concern which determine the rate at which a contaminant can be released based on engine activity. The emission factors are provided for both the engine and the HEP unit. In order to quantify diesel emissions from the GO Transit fleet, a weighted average approach was taken where the emission factors associated with specific tiers were weighted based on the number of locomotives from that respective tier within the fleet. Weighted emission factors for CO, PM2.5 and NOX used in the analysis can be seen in Tables A-1 and A-2 in Appendix A.

Emissions of CO2e were handled differently from CO, PM2.5 and NOX, starting with a published emission factor based on fuel consumption. The emission factor is shown in Table A-3 in Appendix A.

In addition, it was necessary to determine the number of trains, the speed of the trains, the distance travelled, and the horsepower of both the locomotive engine and the HEP unit along each corridor. This information was obtained from the 2017 EPR. Train speed and engine brake horsepower were based on average values obtained from trip log data for each corridor, which were provided by Metrolinx. Each trip log recorded the engine throttle settings, which was used to determine the associated engine horsepower (see Table A-4 of Appendix A), and the speed profiles for various local trains travelling in both directions along all corridors in 2015. It was assumed that the HEP units are operating at an average load of 50% of their capacity (i.e., 600 bhp).

The train movements were split between revenue train trips and non-revenue train trips. Revenue trips are trips that include passengers and stop at stations, therefore travelling at overall lower speeds along the corridors. Non-revenue trips, on the other hand, do not transport passengers and may travel between stations and train layovers without stopping, thereby having an overall higher speed along the corridor. An average speed and brake horsepower were used across all segments of a given corridor, broken

2 In the absence of any definitive information on how the mix of diesel locomotives in the fleet will change in future, a

conservative approach was adopted in which the diesel locomotive mix was assumed to be the same as in the baseline scenario.

down by revenue and non-revenue trips. The number of trains, speed, throttle setting, and horsepower used in the analysis can be seen in Table A-5 for revenue trains and Table A-6 for non-revenue trains, both in Appendix A.

This information was used to estimate the emissions for a single weekday along each Rail Corridor assessed. Total annual emissions were estimated assuming that the weekdays occur 251 days of the year, Saturdays occur for 52 days with 60% of weekday emissions, Sundays occur for 52 days with 55% of weekday emissions, and holidays occur for 10 days of the year with 55% of weekday emissions (Gannet Fleming Canada ULC, 2016, available in Appendix E). This breakdown of service level was provided by Metrolinx, and is detailed in Table 5 in Appendix E. Results from the analysis of diesel emissions from the Scenario 1 can be seen in Table A-7 in Appendix A.

2.2 Scenario 2 (post-project) Scenario 2 is based on train traffic outlined in the future train service schedule. The future train service schedules outlines the mix of diesel and electric trains that will operate on each corridor, as well as further details on locomotive consists (e.g. D1L6, with one diesel engine and 6 passenger cars, or D2L12, with two diesel engines and 12 passenger cars). For electric-powered trains, the motive power and power to the HEP unit are all supplied by electricity. In this case, there are no direct combustion emissions from the trains. However, there are indirect emissions incurred in the electricity generation process, which can be estimated based on electricity generation scenarios.

Emissions from diesel trains were estimated using the methodology outlined in Section 2.1 above. The number of locomotives travelling on each corridor was determined from the future train service schedule. Speed, throttle, and brake horsepower were obtained from information provided by Metrolinx. Detailed analysis to determine diesel emissions in Scenario 2 can be seen in Appendix B, and results can be provided in Table B-7.

Electricity in Ontario is generated through a mix of renewable and non-renewable sources, namely nuclear, hydroelectric, natural gas (fossil fuel), biofuels, solar, and wind energy. Three electricity generation scenarios were analyzed to bracket the range of possible conditions. In the first scenario, electricity generation was represented by the average mix, in which 10% of the electricity generated comes from fossil fuels. The second scenario was represented by the mix of generating capacity in the province, of which 28% is associated with fossil fuels. In the final scenario, it was assumed that all electricity is generated by fossil fuel consumption – this is an upper bound scenario in terms of air contaminant emissions. The electricity demand of an electrified GO Transit system would vary widely throughout the day, from minimal demand overnight to peak demand during peak hours. Therefore, while on average 10% of Ontario’s total electricity is provided by fossil fuel combustion, this percentage may increase during periods of peak electricity demand. Since it cannot be determined which emissions scenario applies at any time, these scenarios provide a bracket of the range of emissions that are likely to occur based on electricity demand.

Table C-1 in Appendix C lists Ontario’s electricity output for 2019 from various fuel types in megawatt-hours, and Table C-2 lists the province’s total emissions for NOX, PM2.5, and CO2e from the electricity for 2019 in tonnes (Ontario Energy Board and IESO, 2019). These data were sourced from the 2019 Ontario Energy Report, which can be seen in Appendix D. The tonnes of emissions in Table C-2 were divided by the electricity output in Table C-1 to obtain emission factors that relate contaminant emission rates to electricity usage. Total emissions for CO were not available in the Ontario Energy Report. These emission factors were instead developed from the US EPA emission factors for stationary gas turbines which are representative of the gas power plants in Ontario (US EPA, 2000). The emission factors for all three future emissions scenarios can be seen in Table C-3 in Appendix C.

Page 16: APPENDIX F1: Regional Air Quality Study Report

GO Rail Network Electrification Project Final Regional Air Quality Study

7 Rev 00 18-May-2021

The emission factors in Table C-3 provide information on the mass of emissions produced per megawatt-hours of electricity usage. The total weekday electricity consumption of GO trains was provided by Metrolinx, and can be seen in Table C-4 in Appendix C (Gannet Fleming Canada ULC, 2016). The weekday electricity consumption varies based on whether regenerative braking is used. The electricity consumption of trains also depends on the weight of the train and the miles travelled. The weight of the trains with and without passengers was also provided by Metrolinx, and corresponds to revenue and non-revenue trains, respectively (Gannet Fleming Canada ULC, 2016). This information was used to estimate the total weekday emissions associated with the electric locomotives in the fleet, based on the electricity generation scenario and whether regenerative braking is used. Total annual emissions from electricity usage were determined using the breakdown of number of weekdays, Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, and the respective fraction of activity, described in Section 2.1 above. The emission results can be seen in Table C-7 in Appendix C.

3 Results

Table 1 summarizes the total annual emissions in tonnes per year of NOX, CO, PM2.5, and CO2e from Scenario 1, representing emissions from baseline GO transit rail activity included in the project scope. Table 2 summarizes total annual emissions in tonnes per year from NOX, CO, PM2.5, and CO2e for Scenario 2, representing both diesel and electric emissions from the future train service schedule. Emissions from the two scenarios are compared in Figures 3-6. In these figures, annual emissions from electric-powered trains were averaged between emissions estimated with and without the use of regenerative braking in trains. The figures indicate the following:

• For CO and CO2e, the future scenario with electrification (at 2037 service levels) results in annual emissions that range from a slight reduction to an increase above the baseline scenario, depending on the mix of electricity generation sources;

• For NOX and PM2.5, the future scenario results in annual emissions that are lower than the baseline scenario, except in the case of the extreme upper bound electricity generation case where all electricity is generated using fossil fuel.

The projected increase in revenue train-kilometer travelled between Scenario 1 and Scenario 2 is approximately a 400% increase across the network. Table 3 presents the percent change in emissions between Scenario 1 and Scenario 2 (showing the maximum change between NOx, PM2.5, and CO), compared to the change in revenue train-kilometers travelled. This table illustrates the proportional benefit of electrification, as the increase in train-kilometers travelled is significantly larger than the increase in emissions.

Tables 4 to 6 show how the change in emissions due to the future service levels with electrification will affect Ontario’s total emissions from all sources, mobile sources, and rail transportation sources. These tables show that, in relation to province-wide emissions, the changes associated with the project are very small. In the average electricity generation scenario, a slight decrease in province-wide emissions occurs for NOx and PM2.5, and an increase occurs for CO and CO2e. In the capacity-based generation scenario a slight decrease occurs for PM2.5, while an increase occurs for other contaminants. In the 100% fossil fuel-based electricity generation scenario, a slight increase occurs for all contaminants.

4 Conclusion

With the proposed future operations (2037 service levels with electrification) emissions of criteria air contaminants NOX and PM2.5 are predicted to be lower than in the baseline scenario (2015) in the average electricity generation scenario. PM2.5 and NOx emissions are expected to be slightly higher in the capacity generation scenario. In the extreme scenario of 100% fossil-fuel-based electricity generation, emissions from all contaminants are expected to increase when compared to the baseline. Emissions of CO and CO2e will increase, to various degrees, compared to the baseline, depending on the electricity generation scenario. In all cases, the impact on province-wide emissions of air contaminants compared to the total for all provincial sources is small (<1%).

Notes:

[1] Emission factor for average electricity production assumes that all emissions in Table 2 are from the total electricity production in Table 1.

[2] Emission factor for capacity electricity production assumes that 28% of electricity production is from Gas and the remainder is from renewable sources.

[3] Calculated based on emission factors from uncontrolled stationary gas turbines (U.S. EPA AP-42 Chapter 3.1).

The emission factor of 0.082 lb/MMBtu fuel input was converted to tonnes/MWh electricity output assuming a turbine efficiency of 40%.

This efficiency is at the high end for simple cycle turbines and at the low end for combined cycle turbines and thus is expected to be a reasonable average for gas power plants.

1 Executive Summary The purpose of this report is to provide estimated annual energy consumptions by electric trains for

emission calculations. The extent of electrification for this report includes the following lines:

Lakeshore West

Lakeshore East

Kitchener

UPX

Barrie

Stoufville

The calculations are based on the “Mockup Schedule for Consultants” provided by GO Transit. This

schedule has a nominal headway of 15-minute throughout the weekday. The results are summarized as

follows:

If regenerative braking is not utilized, the annual energy consumption is estimated to be

704,465 MWh.

If regenerative braking is utilized, the annual energy consumption is estimated to be 642,846

MWh.

2 Introduction While a traction power system load flow study is being implemented, it is still at an early stage of model

preparation the modeling effort. Before new simulation results are available, this report provides an

estimation of the annual energy consumptions for the planned electrification.

2.1 List of Reference Documents This report makes reference to the following documents:

[1]. GO Electrification Study Final Report, December 2010; prepared by Delcan/Arup JV.

[2]. Traction Power System Modeling and Simulations of the Metrolinx Airport Rail Link, Lakeshore

Lines and Kitchener Line Electrification Systems – Final Report, December 28, 2012; prepared by

LTK.

3 Calculation of Energy Consumption Rates The rate of energy consumption, in kWh per ton-mile, is based on the 2012 electrification study report

[Reference [2]]. The train service levels for the 2012 electrification study report were based the

Reference Case (Reference [1]).

The 2012 Electrification Study Report (Reference [2]) included Lakeshore Lines, the Kitchener Line and

Union Pearson Airport Express (UPX). It contained ton-miles and weekday energy consumptions in the

studied territory, which are listed in Appendices J and N of the referenced report. The consumption

rates (kWh per ton-mile) are calculated from these results and are shown in Table 1 below.

4 Calculation of Weekday Energy Consumptions The weekday train movements and ton-miles for electric trains based on the Mockup Schedule [3] are

calculated. Utilizing the energy consumption rates obtained from the 2012 electrification study report

[2], the weekday energy consumptions are calculated. Diesel trains are excluded from the calculations.

The calculations are based on assumed train parameters listed in Table 2 below.

Table 2. Assumed Electric Train Parameters

Train Consists Effective AW1 Mass (Tons) Effective AW0 Mass (Tons)

12 Twindexx Vario EMU cars 946 840

1 ALP-46A + 12 bi-level coaches 964 803

3 Silverliner V EMU cars 268 239

Notes - The 3-car EMU trains are for the UPX services. Effective masses include rotational masses.

For revenue service trains, effective AW1 masses are used. For non-revenue trains, effective AW0

masses are used.

If regenerative braking is not utilized, the calculations are shown in Table 3 below.
