2016 Carbon Downsizing Pollution 
Green Car Congress
JULY 14, 2016
The upside of gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines is widely seen as being improved fuel economy coupled with an increase in specific power (especially with turbocharging), enabling significant downsizing. The cO 2 emission factor was calculated assuming a fuel carbon content of 8887 g/gallon. mpg (10.99 —Zimmerman.

The researchers assessed the gaseous, particulate, and genotoxic pollutants from two current technology gasoline direct injection vehicles when tested in their original configuration and with a catalyzed gasoline particulate filter (GPF). In the study, the team used two MY 2016 passenger cars. Yang et al. Click to enlarge.

Honeywell’s Transportation Systems Forecast projects that turbocharged vehicles will acount for 48% of annual global sales by 2021, up 9 percentage points from 2016. Electrics and hybrids are expected to grow from a total of 3 million vehicles in 2016 to a total of 16 million by 2021. million in 2016. liter six-cylinder.

Engines running on liquid air (or liquid nitrogen, which is already widely available) are zero emissions at the point of use, and can be zero carbon depending on the source of electricity used to make it. We aspire to offer systems which are not only cleaner, but that are also cheaper and perform better than polluting diesel alternatives.

designed in tandem to maximize performance and carbon efficiency. In fiscal year 2016 (beginning October 1, 2015), BETO and VTO jointly funded a consortium of nine DOE national laboratories to begin an initial three-year effort focused on Optima. The Optima program is a key collaborative initiative being pursued by EERE, VTO, and BETO.

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.

A new study quantifying emissions from a fleet of gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines and port fuel injection (PFI) engines finds that the measured decrease in CO 2 emissions from GDIs is much greater than the potential climate forcing associated with higher black carbon emissions from GDI engines. versus 6.3 ± 1.1
