The shipping industry has been trying to cut its carbon emissions for years, and with little to show for it. Nearly all of the world’s ship fleet still runs on diesel fuel, with about a quarter of new ships on order being built to run on somewhat lower-carbon alternatives like liquefied natural gas, methanol, or hybrid propulsion.

Smooth, Powerful Diesel Performance. There is a low diesel rumble upon start-up that becomes a nice note when accessing the ample torque to get off the line, but then purrs at freeway speeds. It used to be that diesel engines were only found in heavy-duty trucks. Road Test: 2018 Ford F-150 PowerStroke Diesel. V8 and 6.2L

The global natural gas vehicle fleet has grown rapidly in the last 10 years, but still represents less than 1% of global transport fuel consumption. For various reasons, the potential to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions by replacing large quantities of diesel fuel consumption in HDVs by natural gas has been underutilised.

The majority of the emissions and fuel savings from current vehicles, EPA noted, is due to new gasoline vehicle technologies. Compared to the engine and transmission technologies discussed above, there has been far less growth in the production shares of hybrid and diesel powertrains and cylinder deactivation (CD).

Boeing and a team from across the aviation industry today released high-level elements of a study that shows that sustainable biofuels analyzed in a series of test flights performed favorably in comparison to petroleum-based fuel. Bio-SPK fuel blends had no adverse effects on the engines or their components. Click to enlarge.

Moving goods by road consumes about 50% of all diesel produced; 80% of the global net increase in diesel use since 2000 comes from road freight. Ambitious fuel economy and CO 2 emission standards will help widespread deployment of these measures. Furthermore, road freight activity is set to more than double from 2015 to 2050.

Renewable feedstock and high octane number rating make ethanol a very promising alternative fuel in CI engine. Due to its superior resistance to auto-ignition (RON = ~111) and volatility compared with gasoline fuel, ethanol is more specifically suited to PPC operation at high load conditions. —Yang et al. 2013.11.058.

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). In addition, fuel cell vehicles have zero-CO 2 and zero particulate tailpipe emissions. This will also be driven by ever tightening global policies on carbon emissions.

The alternative-fuel car evolved to reduce exhaust emissions and other problems derived from burning fossil fuels. The PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle), a subset of the electric car, combines a primary electric motor with a much smaller back-up engine fueled with a hydrocarbon/biofuel mix. It is much more than that.
