Jaiwon Shin, NASA’s associate administrator for aeronautics research, said NASA technology will become increasingly important because of the lack of available space for new airports. Reducing the amount of fuel burned reduces emissions of carbon dioxide, which contribute to global warming.

In order to achieve the 2008 Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards set by US EPA, CARB estimates that the South Coast Air Basin alone (including Los Angeles) will need an 80% reduction in NO x emissions by 2031. Truck sales were up in model years 2014 and 2015, the years covered under the first round of truck standards.

In 2015, the U.S. We see it as similar to the ozone hole problem, where we really needed a tight, science-based focus on the limits to human inputs to the system--and howthose inputs affected the ozone layer's ability to keep people safe. Do you object to that term, and if so, what term do you prefer?

Earlier ACES reports (available at ) found substantial reductions in particulate matter and other pollutants in the emissions from both 2007 and 2010 engines. These results have appeared in more than 260 comprehensive reports published by HEI, as well as more than 1,000 articles in the peer-reviewed literature. Research Report 184.

In addition, the SuperTruck project results thus far show a limited potential benefit on long-haul duty cycles for hybrid systems using currently available technology. The achievement of this goal should be extended from 2015 to 2020 in order to have sufficient time to carry out R&D on this stretch goal.

In 2014, Volkswagen of America announced that starting with the launch of the zero-tailpipe emissions battery-electric 2015 e-Golf ( earlier post ), it would invest in projects to offset the carbon emissions created from the e-Golf on a full lifecycle basis: production, distribution and up to approximately 36,000 miles (57,936 km) of driving.

Starting in 2015, new diesel engines used in marine applications in the United States were required to meet Tier 4 emissions standards. This study underscores the need to increase funding for the replacement of older marine engines, reduce exposure to diesel emissions, and for EPA to update the service life assumptions used by the 2008 Rule.

Sources already subject to the 2012 NSPS requirements for VOC reductions that also would be covered by the proposed 2015 methane requirements would not have to install additional controls, because the controls to reduce VOCs reduce both pollutants.

A few studies also include other relevant impact indicators as acidification potential, eutrophication potential, ozone depletion potential and various toxicity potentials. In the case of predicting biofuels-related indirect land use changes, even the best available methodologies and models have proven to be significantly imprecise.
