Researchers propose evaluating alt fuel efficiency based on energy rather than volume; impact of ethanol on vehicle efficiency and GHGs

Green Car Congress

To determine the vehicle efficiency effect of ethanol, they compiled paired energy efficiency data from all known studies of existing spark injection (SI)-engine vehicles operating on ethanol/gasoline blends and pure gasoline. and the overall average for all blends is 1.08. higher for E5 (5% ethanol) to 3.3% ESR can range from ?1.42

They found that at all loads, GDCI was remarkably clean, with the potential for no aftertreatment for NO x and particulate emissions. Due to the lower exhaust enthalpy of lower temperature engines using PPCI, it is difficult to produce intake boost with acceptable boost system parasitis. GDCI engine. —Sellnau et al.
