The City of Santa Monica, California has awarded Clean Energy a multi-year liquefied natural gas (LNG) contract to fuel its Big Blue Bus (BBB) fleet of vehicles. ARB has defined this certified Near Zero NO x emission level as equivalent to a 100% battery truck using electricity from a modern combined cycle natural gas power plant.

We have been thrilled with the performance of liquid injection in general—such good performance characteristics, gas mileage, emissions, service and warranty—that’s the wave of the future for OEM programs.

The purpose of the report is to consider strategically how biofuels might lessen the country’s dependence on fossil fuels and thus reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, New Zealand still imports virtually all its liquid fuels; while domestic crude oil production has expanded, it is not nearly enough to meet local fuel demand. “.

Uranium analyst David Talbot of Dundee Capital Markets is forecasting 6 percent compound annual demand growth through 2020, which is enough, he says, to “kick-start” uranium prices up to and beyond 2007 levels. But the toxicity levels have dissipated, and nuclear energy is rebounding as a cleaner power source with next generation safeguards.

We’re also going to be talking about some developments we’re making on biofuels, so that more folks can start filling up their cars and trucks with cleaner, American-grown fuels. Biodiesel from soy oil and renewable diesel from waste oils, fats, and greases complies with the 50% GHG threshold for the biomass-based diesel category.

Under President Obama, the EPA set the first federal greenhouse gas standard for cars. What about the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards?
