Emission measurements conducted by Institute of Transport Economics in Norway, in collaboration with VTT in Finland, show that new Euro 6 cars with diesel engines are struggling with NO x emissions well in excess of regulatory type limits when in real traffic. Measured at +23 °C (red clouds) and -7 °C (blue clouds).

Global-mean temperature change caused by car exhaust emitted from gasoline and diesel engines specified in the previous and upcoming European vehicle emission standards (EURO 3, 4, 5, and 6). The results are based on one-year pulse emissions in year zero, which would be emitted by an idealized 1000 km drive.

Norway’s Nordic Power Systems (NPS) and California-based SAFCell Inc., The project is funded by the Research Council of Norway under its RENERGI program. Due to the unit’s high efficiency, CO 2 emissions are substantially lower than in conventional combustion engines, and no other demonstrable exhaust is discharged—i.e.,

Wärtsilä has been contracted to deliver the ship design for a new processing and transportation vessel to be built at the Balenciaga shipyard in Spain on behalf of Hav Line AS of Norway. Following its introduction in 2015, the Wärtsilä 31 was recognized the world’s most efficient 4-stroke diesel engine by Guinness World Records.

Joule, a pioneer in the production of liquid fuels from recycled CO 2 , and HeidelbergCement, a German multinational building material company, are partnering to explore application of Joule’s technology to mitigate carbon emissions in cement manufacturing. This process accounts for ~50% of all emissions from cement production.

The fact is that EVs are just as safe as internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles and, in many ways, they are even safer. However, there are greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with the manufacturing of EVs and there can be emissions associated with their charging depending on how the electricity used to charge them is generated.

Stricter emission laws and the technological advances in electric drives will accelerate the trend towards e-mobility in the medium term, Bain said. In terms of international electric car market share, Germany with 0.6% (as of 1Q 2015) is far behind Norway (33.1%) and the Netherlands (5.7%).

EVs have distinct advantages over gas-powered vehicles in cold temperatures: An EV can be started and warmed up in a garage, even in sub-zero temperatures, as there are no harmful emissions, and this feature is often available and can be scheduled by smartphone app. EVs are emission free and can be started and heated remotely and indoors.

These kinds of bans have attracted criticism from auto 'journalists' and legacy vehicle manufacturers who rely on ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) sales which are already faltering tremendously. In the early 2000's there was the “Euro 1” emission standard. The final stage is Zero Emissions. Absolutely not.

To answer these questions, we collaborated with Envirostrat to investigate some of the most common questions and concerns about the environmental impact that increased EV uptake will have on NZ, and in particular, how they really compare to ICEVs (internal combustion engine vehicles). In comparison, EV engines run on lithium batteries.
