Since the formation of the club in 2013, member fleets have used nearly 20 million gallons of B20 biodiesel fuel and reduced more than 29,000 tons of CO 2 emissions and nine tons of particulate matter (PM), with $5 million in associated health benefits, according to the EPA. US EPA’s Clean Diesel Program: Diesel emissions account for 6.3

Under extreme circumstances, this previously unknown chemistry could account for up to 40 parts per billion (ppb) of ozone; the current US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 8-hour average standard is 75 ppb. An open-access paper on the work was published online 20 July in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

For power generation in the US, natural gas is commonly used in both simple-cycle natural gas turbines and combined-cycle natural gas turbines which use waste heat recovery to increase electrical generating efficiency. The CNGV is based on a 2012 Honda Civic natural gas vehicle with a combined EPA label fuel economy of 30.9

70% of the energy from burning fossil fuel is wasted as heat, while only 30% goes to turn your wheels. So after we use all that electricity pumping oil out of the ground, refining it, transporting it, we then waste 70% when we burn it. These cars and trucks have internal combustion engines that are extremely inefficient.

OBE believes they will be one of the first commercial-scale renewable fuel producers to petition for an advanced biofuel designation from the EPA. EPA accepted this logic and instead decided to focus on regional and national statistics and trends to make sure virgin land wasn’t being converted to supply biofuel facilities.

The anaerobic digester is fed the waste from the distillation process and the wastes from 2,000 dairy cattle and 10,000 beef cattle being raised on the site. Madson identified several ethanol plants that were built in industrial settings that were able to use the waste heat, i.e. from an adjacent refinery, to produce their ethanol.

According to a report by the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the margin of error in measuring emissions by DOEs can be as high as: 10% for the cement and fertilizer industries; 60% for the oil, gas, and coal industries; and. 100% for some agricultural processes.

The CAFE standard is calculated using a harmonic mean; given the high fuel economy assigned to EVs by the EPA, scenarios with higher EV market share result in a lower required conventional vehicle (CV) fuel economy.

That being said, even a car that derives its energy from coal power plants would be far more clean. Having centralized energy production in that way allows for centralized pollution control measures, filters, so-called "clean coal" rather than depending on X number of cars, manufacturers, and consumers to deal with pollution control.
