On 23 October, leaders of the European Union agreed on the climate and energy policy framework for the EU for the period from 2020 to 2030. This will need to be supported by a modern and coherent infrastructure design and smarter pricing of infrastructure usage. —Ilkka Räsänen, Neste Oil’s Director, Public Affairs. 40% target.

Beyond 2025, ARB notes, the driving force for lowering emissions in California will thus be climate change. The proposed GHG emission standards would reduce new passenger vehicle CO 2 emissions to about 166 g/mile—a 34% reduction from MY 2016 levels—based on the projected mix of vehicles sold in California.

Yesterday, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the National High Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) jointly established increasingly stringent greenhouse gas emission standards under the Clean Air Act for 2012 through 2016 model-year vehicles and fuel economy standards under the Corporate Average Fuel Economy program, respectively.

Without strong action, those numbers are expected to keep rising, but reducing the nation’s impact on global climate change and dependence on oil imports has proved problematic. Fuels should be evaluated on the basis of their full life-cycle GHG emissions, which will require additional efforts to improve carbon accounting practices.

Increasing the supply of low-carbon alternative fuels is a basic strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. However, the Minnesota team notes, increasing the supply of fuels tends to lower energy prices, which encourages in turn encourages additional fuel consumption. —Hill et al. 2016.07.035.

In the study, published in the journal Nature Energy , Noel Melton, Jonn Axsen and Daniel Sperling conduct a media analysis to show how society’s attention has skipped among alternative fuel vehicle (AFV) technology between 1980 and 2013, including methanol, natural gas, plug-in electric, hybrid electric, hydrogen and biofuels.

Audi’s alternative fuels already offer great potential for sustainable mobility and are helping reduce CO 2 emissions from combustion engines by up to 80% in g-tron models, for example. For Audi, e-fuels are more than just a subject of research in laboratories. Audi e-diesel is also part of the Audi e-fuels portfolio.

If you’re working on increasing fuel efficiency or you already have an alternative fuel vehicle, you can lessen your carbon footprint by taking advantage of green car care, repair and insurance. They have been carbon-neutral since 2016. You may be wondering if electric and hybrid cars are cheap to insure.

In effect, hydrogen as an alternative fuel source for passenger vehicles may simply be mooted to attenuate any sense of urgency around peak oil and global heating, and so prolong fossil fuel dependence while tempering any momentum towards an early shift to pure electric cars. .

When fully implemented, annual fuel costs to operate a car will be reduced by an average of 25%, with an overall cumulative savings of $22 billion by 2025, according to ARB calculations. The standard targets would reduce car CO 2 emissions by about 36% and truck CO 2 emissions by about 32% from model year 2016 through 2025.

The alternative-fuel car evolved to reduce exhaust emissions and other problems derived from burning fossil fuels. The PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle), a subset of the electric car, combines a primary electric motor with a much smaller back-up engine fueled with a hydrocarbon/biofuel mix. Conclusions.
