The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) waived a limitation on selling gasoline that contains more than 10% ethanol for model year (MY) 2001 through 2006 passenger vehicles, including cars, SUVs, and light pickup trucks. MY 2001 and newer medium-duty passenger vehicles (SUVs). Earlier post.) Vehicles that can use E15.
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing a reduction in the cellulosic biofuel and total renewable fuel standards (RFS) for 2014. Specifically, EPA is proposing a total renewable fuel target of 15.21 billion gallons; the original target as specified in the Clean Air Act is 18.15 Total renewable fuels.

They fell 23% from a peak of 14 metric tons per person (roughly equal to driving 34,000 miles) in 2001 to 10.8 The carbon intensity of California’s economy has dropped 38% since the 2001 peak and is now one-half the national average. metric tons per person in 2016 (roughly equal to driving 26,000 miles).
Since 2001, the USPS has operated 30 electric two-ton vehicles on the streets of New York City, and these were later joined by a pair of two-ton hybrid electric vehicles in Long Island. The cap-and-trade program also creates a financial incentive for industries to invest in clean technologies and develop innovative ways to reduce pollution.
With the high heat generated by the process, reforming hydrocarbon fuels—liquid or gaseous, fossil or renewable—to extract the necessary hydrogen can be accomplished within the fuel cell, eliminating the need for an external reformer. Founded in 2001, Bloom Energy can trace its roots to the NASA Mars space program.
a Fischer-Tropsch process company, plans to build a plant in Rialto, California for the production of synthetic fuels and electric power from renewable waste biomass feedstocks. The carbon footprint of the plant is designed to be near zero as the fuels and power would be produced only from renewable feedstocks. Rentech, Inc. ,
Since 2001, the share of the world’s R&D performed in the US and Europe has decreased, respectively, from 37% to 30% and from 26% to 22%. —Dan Arvizu, NSB Chairman and director and chief executive of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. In addition, emerging economies now invest more in clean energy than advanced economies.

In 2001 I began driving an electric car, obtaining the last of the ZEV mandate-required EVs. If swap stations can be commercialized and the batteries can be charged at Level II speeds and below, they too might offer benefits and be part of the clean transportation quilt.
What we’re not breathing is clean air, because the smoke from the La Canada-Flintridge fire, about 38 miles from here, is still making air quality hazardous and people in the L.A. In 2001 she terminated our grass lawns and replaced them with drought tolerant plants because of her concerns for water use.
The EPN has been around since 2001 and to be honest, I should have gotten involved with them a long time ago. Free, Clean, Renewable Electricity From The Wind: Visiting PacWind with Dency & J.R. I don’t know what took me so long. I’m looking forward to sharing it with Marilyn and Jacki next week.
As we’ve noted before , a lower-power version of it was published back in 2001, specifying charging hardware interface and coupler system. Artificial Moore’s Law for Cleantech: Renewable Standards, by Steps : [.] Artificial Moore’s Law for Cleantech: Renewable Standards, by Steps : [.]
California Air Resources Board studies show that battery electric vehicles emit at least 67% lower greenhouse gases than gasoline cars -- even more assuming renewables. model in 2001 by the DOEs Argonne National Lab estimates hybrids reduce greenhouse gases by 22%, and plug-in hybrids by 36% (see table 2). The GREET 1.6

I charge at night, when rates are lowest, so there’s a speck of non-renewable energy in my battery. “Well, I confess, I still go to a gas station regularly—to clean my damn windows,” says my friend and fellow Plug In America co-founder Ron Freund. Hello hope. No pollution, well-to-wheels. Well, almost none.
In 1978, a Clean Air Act waiver allowed the use of 10 volume percent ethanol in gasoline (E10). 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. Today, almost all gasoline are E10 blends.
