JATO: European new car CO2 emissions highest average since 2014; shift from diesel to gasoline and SUVs rise

Green Car Congress

The analysis covered 23 markets in Europe and found a direct correlation between diesel car registrations and average CO2 emissions. With increased negative public perception towards diesels, combined with new government regulations such as WLTP and scrutiny of the fuel type, demand for diesel fell by 18% in 2018. g/km to 120.5

DOE researchers investigate economic and environmental impacts of converting wet waste to renewable diesel

Green Car Congress

About 61% of the total sewage sludge, 27% of the total manure, and 7% of the total food waste may be available at negative prices, while FOG is more commoditized with its price determined by market demand. Among their findings: The estimated minimum fuel selling prices were $1.22/gasoline gasoline liter equivalent (GLE) and $0.94/GLE

EPA trends report sees record levels of average new vehicle fuel economy and CO2 emissions for MY 2012; role of new gasoline vehicle technologies

Green Car Congress

EPA projects advanced transmissions (6+ speeds and CVTs), gasoline direct injection (GDI) systems, and turbocharged engines will be installed on at least 15% of all MY 2013 vehicles. The majority of the emissions and fuel savings from current vehicles, EPA noted, is due to new gasoline vehicle technologies. Click to enlarge.
