A study published earlier this year in the journal Nature Climate Change that cast doubt on whether biofuels produced from corn residue could meet federal mandates for cellulosic biofuels to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 60% compared to gasoline ( earlier post ) has drawn critical response published as correspondence in the same journal.
In CO fermentation, explained LanzaTech Communications Director Freya Burton, CO can serve as the carbon and the energy source whereas CO 2 can serve only as the carbon source. Lipids, in turn, are a proven pathway to jet, diesel and gasoline. Carbon Dioxide as a Feedstock. CO 2 to acetic acid fermentation.
US carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels decreased by 2.8% in 2008 to 5,802 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (MMTCO 2 ), down from 5,967 MMTCO 2 in 2007, according to preliminary estimates released by the Energy Information Administration (EIA). Motor gasoline accounts for 58.7% Click to enlarge. Source: EIA.
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) announced that greenhouse gas emissions in California in 2016 fell below 1990 levels for the first time since emissions peaked in 2004—a reduction roughly equivalent to taking 12 million cars off the road or saving 6 billion gallons of gasoline a year.
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released its annual report summarizing key trends in carbon dioxide emissions, fuel economy, and CO 2 - and fuel economy-related technology for gasoline- and diesel-fueled personal vehicles sold in the United States, from model years (MY) 1975 through 2012.

Shorter term actions on the mobility front will include: Converging taxation rates for gasoline and diesel during the next five years. Exploring a replacement bonus for vehicles that are not eligible for the Crit’air sticker (pre-1997 gasoline and pre-2001 diesel).
This means that the bioethanol from AustroCel Hallein falls under the category “advanced biofuels”, allowing it to be added to gasoline fuels in the future. This product will thereby help reduce the carbon intensity of the OMV product portfolio and aid in meeting OMV’s 2025 Sustainability Targets.
Gasoline and diesel. Nearly all gasoline sold in the US is now E10 (10% ethanol). If gasoline demand continues to decline, as currently forecast, continuing growth in the use of ethanol will require greater use of higher ethanol blends such as E15 and E85. the ethanol “blend wall”. 1st production. 2014 volume. 0 – 18.
Currently, the data included in the Department of Energy’s US Life Cycle Inventory is based on three years, 1998 to 2001. This LCA project is based on US agricultural data for the 2001-2007 period. It also contains actual data on soybean processing, commonly known as crushing, that was not previously available. kg (for the 3.36
Pressure on the RFS2 has increased as statutory mandated volumes of biofuel exceed the “blendwall” of 10% ethanol in gasoline. Ethanol has about one-third lower energy density than gasoline; accordingly, cars drive fewer miles per gallon when operating on ethanol blends compared with unblended gasoline. The ICCT ethanol paper.
Jaguar C-X75 will be developed in association with Williams F1 who will provide their engineering expertise in areas including aerodynamics, carbon composite manufacture and hybrid technologies. The supercar’s chassis will be made of carbon-fibre to create a lightweight, yet rigidly strong structure.
These factors included a decline in the carbon intensity of the energy supply (CO 2 /British thermal units [Btu]) of 1.8%; and a 3.4% —“US Energy-Related Carbon Dioxide Emissions, 2015”. According to the EIA, the 2015 increase in energy-related carbon dioxide emissions from the transportation sector was led by gasoline.
The single year of carbon emissions is the equivalent to the annual greenhouse gas emissions of 951,600 passenger vehicles, according to the EPA’s equivalency calculator. billion gallons of ethanol would be blended with gasoline by 2016, 3.75 billion gallons of ethanol would be blended with gasoline by 2016, 3.75 A total of 17.5
The acquisition will support the scale-up and commercialization of Virent’s BioForming technology for the production of low carbon bio-based fuels and chemicals. The APR technology was discovered at the University of Wisconsin in 2001 by Virent’s co-founder and chief technology officer, Dr. Randy Cortright. Earlier post.).
In particular in the US, where gasoline prices almost doubled in the summer of 2008 compared to 2007 levels, oil consumption dropped 7% decrease. In China, oil consumption increased by 3% in 2008, according to BP data, which was down from 5% in 2007 and 8%, on average, since 2001. Click to enlarge. increase in 2008, a drop from 9.5%
Headwaters points out the hybrid DCL/ICL process can produce premium gasoline and diesel fuel with minimal refining.). A typical bituminous coal can yield 3 barrels of liquid fuel products (diesel and gasoline) per tonne of coal compared to 2 to 2.4 Balanced power—no need to generate excess power.
For the tests, they used a turbo diesel (TDI) engine from a 2001 Volkswagen Jetta equipped with a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) and operating on ultra-low sulfur diesel. The initial HNCO estimate did not include potential emissions from gasoline or heavy duty diesel (HDD) engines, both of which far outnumber the LDD vehicles in Canada (.
The ultimate goal—one that Volkswagen Group and brand executives consistently emphasize—is to enable “bumper-to-bumper” production of brand models equipped with different drive systems (gasoline, diesel, natural gas, plug-in hybrid, battery-electric and fuel cell) using the same production line. US gal) of gasoline.
Demand for lithium—the hottest commodity on the planet and the only commodity to show positive price movement in 2015—is poised to continue on its upward trajectory, becoming the world’s new gasoline and earning the moniker of “White Petroleum”.
It’s not sexy and it doesn’t make a bunch of old school, balding, white, male, carbon collaborators stinking filthy rich, so it’s no wonder they’ve done every evil and despicable thing in their power to keep this weapon from being aimed at them. Won’t that be fun?! The Big Dick Cheney Effect.
four-cylinder gasoline engine and a 1.8kWh, 30kW battery pack provide motive power through GM’s two- mode FWD hybrid system ( earlier post ). four-cylinder gasoline engine and a 2 to 16 kWh (2, 4, 8 and 16), 53kW battery pack provide motive power through GM’s two-mode FWD hybrid system. Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) : A 2.4L
Scientist have confirmed that unlike gasoline cars, plug-ins will get cleaner as they get older -- because our power grid is getting cleaner. The comparison keeps being raised, though studies are conclusive: The "well-to-wheel" emissions of electric vehicles are lower than those from gasoline internal combustion vehicles.

The goal of the Li-air project is to combine experiments and computational modeling to identify optimal cathode catalysts for Li-air batteries that could power low-cost electric vehicles with a driving range comparable to today’s gasoline-powered vehicles.
But it’s an idea I’m a bit obsessed with—cuz let’s face it, it’s wonderful and it’s the future as well as the now—and I recently rounded up other early adopters who have been cruising nearly carbon-free for a long, long time. “I haven’t paid for electricity for my house or my EV since 2001,” he says.
In 1978, a Clean Air Act waiver allowed the use of 10 volume percent ethanol in gasoline (E10). Today, almost all gasoline are E10 blends. In June 2011, EPA approved a partial waiver for blends of 15 vol% ethanol in gasoline for use in model year 2001 and newer passenger cars, light-trucks and medium-duty vehicles.
