EPA Using OpenECU from Pi Shurlok in Engine and Hybrid Development Programs
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has been using Pi Shurlok ’s OpenECU M460 and G850 control modules for the past year to support technology development programs in the areas of Advanced Engine Control and Hybrid Vehicle Powertrain Control.
As part of Pi Shurlok’s collaboration with the EPA, an API (Application Programming Interface) for C code was added to the OpenECU toolchain that enabled EPA engineers to continue to benefit from their investment in control applications that had already been developed using C code. OpenECU provides a bridge between the advanced technologies that the EPA is developing for greener vehicles and the vehicle companies, along with their suppliers, that ultimately need a production ECU to bring that technology to the market.

US cellulosic ethanol goals falling short
The EPA may have issued a report anticipating 100million gallons of cellulosic ethanol production in the USA by 2010, but it may have put too many of its eggs into one basket.
According to reports, Cello has one plant capable of an annual production of 20million gallons of biofuel and three that it was planning to build and that the EPA credited with 50million gallons of cellulosic fuel by 2010.
Seventy million of those gallons were to come from an Alabama company called Cello Energy, but Cello has now been found guilty in a Federal court of civil fraud for lying to a major investor about its ability to make ethanol from grass and other woody, non-food materials.

Is the EPA just shy of useless?
When the EPA revised its methodology for determining fuel economy a few years ago, it was realized that the EPA was off by as much as 50 percent. While revisions made the EPA's methodology a little more accurate, many driving conditions still make the EPA's numbers mostly useless. Even worse, automakers can essentially manipulate the EPA's methodology to make some of their vehicles appear more fuel efficient But what about in the real world? The EPA's 'City' estimates are so ridiculous that Mazda decided against using start-stop technology in many of its vehicles

Why not make CAFE match California's EPA waiver?
Yesterday, I heard a number of critics go off on President Obama's decision to have the EPA revisit California's waiver to regulate vehicle emissions because it would create too many different standards. Tags: Hybrid Vehicles CAFE ep Deny California's waiver, but... What a crock. As of today it would create 2 standards.

EPA Proposes Stronger Air Quality Standards for Nitrogen Dioxide
EPA has proposed revisions to the nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ) air quality standard, the first adjustment since 1971. These proposed standards—which add a one-hour NO 2 standard—and additional monitoring requirements will better protect public health by reducing people’s exposure to high, short-term concentrations of NO 2 , which generally occur near roadways, according to EPA. EPA’s proposed revisions apply to the primary NO 2 standard and would:
The proposed changes reflect the latest science on the health effects of exposure to NO 2 , which is formed by emissions from cars, trucks, buses, power plants, and industrial facilities and can lead to respiratory disease.
