Study finds clear trend of increasing NOx with higher biodiesel blends with CARB diesel; NOx neutrality achieved by blending in renewable or GTL diesel

Green Car Congress

NO x emissions results of biodiesel, renewable, and GTL diesel fuel blends, and CARB diesel fuel for 2006 Cummins ISM. They also found that increasing renewable diesel (Neste Oil’s NExBTL) and gas-to-liquids (GTL) diesel blends showed NO x reductions with rising blend level. Click to enlarge.

UC Riverside team receives $2M to evaluate emission reduction benefits of hybrid bulldozer and excavator

Green Car Congress

The performance of the hybrid vehicle will then be compared to that of conventional diesel powered vehicles. The project will help establish the methodology for making comparisons under such varied conditions. Researchers will design standardized tasks, such as lifting a heavy object. That would be about a 30% reduction.

Polystyrene-Biodiesel Blends for Energy Recovery from Waste Plastics

Green Car Congress

Comparisons of NO x , CO, soot, and engine brake power using different PS blends with the factory-set injection timings. Researchers at Iowa State University are proposing dissolving waste polystyrene (PS) in biodiesel for use as a diesel engine fuel as a mechanism for energy recovery from the waste plastic.

Opinion: Debunking the mythsWhy fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) are viable for the mass market

Green Car Congress

This is not much different from diesel and gasoline which are produced from refining and cleaning crude oil (a process which heavily involves the use of hydrogen). The ability to carry more energy on-board the fuel cell vehicle in comparison to a battery powered car means that the fuel cell vehicles have greater range.
