The California Air Resources Board released the draft proposed first update to the AB 32 Scoping Plan, which guides development and implementation of California’s greenhouse gas emission reduction programs. Since its launch in 2011, the regulation has generated a multitude of unique approaches for cleaner fuels. Transportation.

The measurements provide the most detailed look at carbon emissions for a specific urbanized and industrialized region of China to date. High-efficiency combustion processes, such as modern power plants and cars that meet current standards, produce little or no CO, and are thus both more energy-efficient and cleaner.

Paradox 1 - Soot: There's an apparent emissions paradox with plug-in hybrids (PHEV): Driving longer distances on battery power means more cold starts as the internal combustion engine (ICE) stops and starts up again after the batteries deplete. It also spreads doubt about the enviro bona fides of plug-ins.

Values in the previous compendium (published in 2004) derived from octane numbers have been removed and replaced with a brief analysis of the correlation between cetane numbers and octane numbers. The cetane number is typically measured either in a single-cylinder engine or a constant-volume combustion chamber.
