U Toronto team assess the climate trade-off between reduced CO2 and increased Black Carbon from GDI engines

Green Car Congress

JULY 14, 2016

The upside of gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines is widely seen as being improved fuel economy coupled with an increase in specific power (especially with turbocharging), enabling significant downsizing. The cO 2 emission factor was calculated assuming a fuel carbon content of 8887 g/gallon. mpg (10.99 —Zimmerman.
