Perspective: US Needs to Transition to Hydrous Ethanol as the Primary Renewable Transportation Fuel

Green Car Congress

The first such vehicles were introduced by Volkswagen in 2003, and by 2004, they accounted for more than 17% of the Brazilian auto market. Experiments have even shown that the evaporation of the water in the intake manifold acts as a charge air cooling, which improves the volumetric efficiency and thereby the overall efficiency of the engine.

DISCOVER-AQ project to begin flights to enhance measurement of ground-level air-quality from space

Green Car Congress

The P-3B, a four-engine turboprop that returned recently from a deployment to the Arctic, will carry a suite of nine instruments, while a smaller two-engine UC-12 (military version of the King Air) will carry two instruments. Both aircraft will measure ozone and a mixture of soot and PM. DISCOVER-AQ site.
