Calif. ARB releases GHG scoping plan update; more ZEVs, “LEV IV”, MD and HD regulations; ZEV for trucks; more LCFS

Green Car Congress

Many of the strategies employed to reduce GHG emissions will also work to meet the national ambient air quality standard for ozone in 2032. California is also making strides toward reducing the number of miles people drive, through more sustainable local and regional housing, land use, and transportation planning.

Study finds fleet switch from PFI to GDI engines will result in net reduction in global warming

Green Car Congress

The increased fuel economy of GDI engines means lower CO 2 emissions per mile; however, higher BC [black carbon] emissions (the most-potent absorptive agent of anthropogenic PM) could potentially offset any climate benefits of reduced CO 2 emissions.… We estimate ozone and SOA formation potential. —Saliba et al.

Flying first class on a single domestic round trip can contribute more greenhouse gas emissions than a year of driving

Green Car Congress

Greenhouse gas emissions were examined for 17 nonstop flights with round-trip distances ranging from 131 miles to 19,040 miles. Furthermore, myclimate accounts for other warming effects of aircraft emissions (through changes in the ozone layer, initiation of contrails, formation of cirrus clouds, etc.) pounds per passenger mile.
