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. LNG derived from biomethane is a low carbon fuel, which, under some conditions, offers a carbon intensity (CI) equal to or lower than that of electricity. Earlier post.).

First introduced in 1998, the Civic GX is the cleanest internal combustion vehicle certified by the EPA—90% cleaner than the average gasoline-powered car on the road today. 1—to maximize performance from natural gas fuel. As a result, the GX is certified by the EPA as an Inherently Low Emissions Vehicle (ILEV).

Bio-dispersants are as effective as petrochemical dispersants, but are made from underutilized agricultural waste, are more readily biodegradable, and are expected to be less toxic, according to the company. The NSF funds will be used to produce and test these bio-dispersants. In the paper, BIO cites Dr. P.

Subsidies that encourage wasteful consumption of fossil fuels jumped to over $400 billion. Where the alternative fuel cannot be used directly in existing oil distribution networks and applications, it requires the build-up of a dedicated infrastructure. the extent of the displacement of oil by alternative fuels.

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. It is much more than that.
