IEA working paper highlights potential role of natural gas in reducing global road transport CO2

Green Car Congress

Vehicle and fuel technology for natural gas is available today and relatively affordable, particularly in comparison with other alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs). Tags: Climate Change Emissions Heavy-duty Natural Gas. The paper uses Brazil, India, Iran, Pakistan, the US and Europe as case studies.

Study suggests current levels of methane leakage would result in numerous decades of more rapid climate change from a shift to natural gas vehicles

Green Car Congress

GWPs were established to allow for comparisons among GHGs [greenhouse gases] at one point in time after emission but only add confusion when evaluating environmental benefits or policy tradeoffs over time. CNG vehicles fare even worse in comparison to heavy-duty diesel vehicles. This would eventually be offset by a modest benefit.

Study: even with high LDV electrification, low-carbon biofuels will be necessary to meet 80% GHG reduction target; “daunting” policy implications

Green Car Congress

For comparison, they team estimated the RFS goal for cellulosic fuels to be equivalent to 1289 PJ. The climate-targeted scenarios included cellulosic biofuel substitution to reduce GHG from light duty transportation to 20% of the reference GHG. Renewable and nuclear electricity supply technologies are available today.

Appendix B: Car of the Future: A Comparison of Alternative Vehicles. It is alarming to see comparisons of the Chevrolet Volt PHEV with battery electric cars when the comparison focuses only on the electric range and ignores the other important differences. More information on e-mile comparisons is given by Reference Nº 2.
