The California Air Resources Board has approved the 2014 Honda Plug-in Hybrid Accord as the first car for sale in California that meets ARB’s LEV3/SULEV20 standard—the most stringent smog-emission standard to date. In 1995, the 1996 Civic was the first certified Low Emission Vehicle (LEV) gasoline vehicle. Earlier post.).

Now, researchers at Imperial College London have shown that bioethanol production from bamboo in China is both technically and economically feasible, as well as cost-competitive with gasoline. In its development of biofuel policy, China’s 10 th five-year plan (2001–2005) proposed a biofuel industry to utilize surplus grain stocks.

Growth Energy, an ethanol industry trade group, petitioned the EPA in March 2009 to raise the limit on ethanol in gasoline from 10 to 15 percent. Before those tests were completed in October 2010 and January 2011, EPA granted partial waivers to allow the introduction of E15 into the marketplace for use in model year 2001 and later vehicles.

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) announced that greenhouse gas emissions in California in 2016 fell below 1990 levels for the first time since emissions peaked in 2004—a reduction roughly equivalent to taking 12 million cars off the road or saving 6 billion gallons of gasoline a year.

Pressure on the RFS2 has increased as statutory mandated volumes of biofuel exceed the “blendwall” of 10% ethanol in gasoline. Ethanol has about one-third lower energy density than gasoline; accordingly, cars drive fewer miles per gallon when operating on ethanol blends compared with unblended gasoline.

Researchers at Peking University have developed a new methodology to model black carbon (BC) emissions from diesel and gasoline motor vehicles. A subsequent emission inventory for Asia estimated total BC emissions from on-road vehicles in this region alone to be 294 and 446 Gg in 2001 and 2006, respectively. —Wang et al.
