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

Green Car Congress

Heavy-duty diesel vehicles using mixing controlled compression ignition (MCCI), the most common ignition and combustion strategies for heavy-duty diesel engines, contribute significantly to the emissions of GHG, oxides of nitrogen (NO x ), and particular matter (PM) and are subject to stringent emission standards. Skaggs et al. GLE and $0.9/GLE.

ICF report finds California Low Carbon Fuel Standard can be achieved with modest changes in diversity of fuels

Green Car Congress

Each colored stacked bar represents credits generated via low carbon fuels; the red line represents the deficits from forecasted CARBOB and ultra low sulfur diesel (ULSD) consumption. The LCFS requires a 10% reduction in the carbon intensity (in gCO 2 e/MJ) of transportation fuels by 2020, as measured on a lifecycle basis.

SEAT pushes forward with CNG line-up

Green Car Congress

A CNG vehicle reduces CO 2 emissions by about 25% compared to a gasoline-driven equivalent. In normal driving scenarios, SEAT’s CNG vehicles only use gasoline as an alternative fuel when the CNG tanks are empty, although with significant gas ranges, the need to use gasoline should be infrequent.

What is NEVI Program?

Setec Powerr

The aim is to ensure that EV charging is as accessible and convenient as refueling traditional gasoline vehicles, thereby encouraging more consumers to consider electric vehicles as a viable option. The program primarily focuses on locations along federally designated Alternative Fuel Corridors, especially the Interstate Highway System.
