New research published today (23 May) in Scientific Reports has found a marked and progressive 80% decline in atmospheric CO (carbon monoxide) in SE England since 1997, following adoption of strict controls on gasoline vehicle emissions begin in the 1990s. CO is representative of many pollutants, and London of many northern European cities.

A scatter plot of CO, as a tracer for pollution, versus CO 2 , as a tracer for the amount of combustion, for 2002 and 2010. The magnitude of the drop in VOC levels was surprising, even to researchers who expected some kind of decrease resulting from California’s longtime efforts to control vehicle pollution. ppbv/ppmv to 10.7

Methanol-powered vehicles are one pillar of Geely Auto’s diversified new-energy strategy, which also encompasses ethanol, CNG, gasoline-electric hybrid, plug-in hybrid, pure-electric, and extended-range solutions. Their results showed that in comparison with gasoline mode, CO emitted in methanol mode decreased 11.2%.

They calculated emissions for ten cities (or metropolitan regions), which vary in population from 432,000 to 9,519,000; comparisons are in per capita terms. London has the highest emissions for air transportation at 3.12 In some cities in Asia and Africa, they still have lead in their gasoline. t e CO 2 /cap., t e CO2/cap.)

Speaking at the launch of the IEA report in London, IEA Executive Director Nobuo Tanaka said that “ An expansion of gas use alone is no panacea for climate change. When replacing other fossil fuels, natural gas can lead to lower emissions of greenhouse gases and local pollutants.

Are EVs as affordable as gasoline cars? In comparison, traditional combustion engines take longer to get engine-generated power to the wheels and might need to rev up in order to reach maximum torque. These misconceptions typically center around cost, performance, practicality and the true environmental benefits of EVs.
