Ricardo Study Suggests E15 Poses Minimal Risk to MY 1994-2000 Vehicles

Green Car Congress

SEPTEMBER 16, 2010

A study by Ricardo for the Renewable Fuels Association (RFA) concludes that the adoption of E15 as the blend limit for standard US pump grades of gasoline rather than the current E10 should not adversely affect vehicles manufactured between 1994 and 2000 in terms of their performance and durability based on normal specifications and usage profile.

MAY 29, 2009

Anthropogenic global greenhouse gas emissions increased by 15% between 2000 and 2005, a sharp increase in the expected rate of growth, according to a new report from the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC). It also provides data on greenhouse-gas emissions for the 20 years preceding the 1990 Kyoto protocol.
