The US Department of Energy (DOE) is [link] about $11 million to 20 new projects to help states and local governments to develop the infrastructure, training, and regional planning needed to help meet the demand for alternativefuel cars and trucks, including vehicles that run on natural gas, electricity, and propane. Clean Fuels Ohio.
The agency’s reasoning was that since alternativefuel vehicle production has generally been less than 0.1% of total vehicle production until very recently, the impact of excluding alternativefuel vehicles was negligible. Fuel economy average for the US fleet, per the Trends report, is 24.1 EPA Trends report.
Existing US policies that stress energy efficiency and alternativefuels, together with higher energy prices, will curb energy consumption growth and shift the energy mix toward renewable fuels, according to the reference case for the Annual Energy Outlook 2010 ( AEO2010 ) released by the US Energy Information Administration (EIA).
Propane autogas, also referred to as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), is the most widely used alternativefuel in the world, with more than 17 million autogas vehicles on the road globally. Autogas is cleaner than gasoline and costs around $1.50 less per gallon; 98% of the US autogas supply is made in the US.

As such, methanol is quickly becoming the most prominent alternativefuel in the container vessel segment. At MAN Energy Solutions, we expect further projects for this size of container vessel to be specified with our G80 methanol engine within the near future.
The platform design is “future-proof”, taking into consideration possibilities to use alternativefuels to reduce carbon footprint or even zero-emission power production. The platform design includes ice class 1A for unlimited Baltic Sea operation.
Conversion systems allow vehicles to run on alternativefuels; most conversions involve switching gasoline or diesel vehicles to operate instead on a gaseous fuel such as natural gas or propane; an alcohol fuel; or electricity. Seeking comment on three options. Compliance application.
The Base Case is the EIA’s 2010 AEO Reference Case projection, extrapolated from 2035 to 2050, and includes relatively high energy prices, the US Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS), and existing emission standards. The scenarios show emissions reductions of 17%, 39%, and 65% below 2010 levels by 2050. gigatons in 2010 to 2.3
The reference scenario assumes continued strengthening of fuel efficiency standards for LDVs, as well as expanded use of renewables for power generation. Several factors influence an individual’s decision to adopt an alternativefuel vehicle, such as a battery electric vehicle. From Insights into Future Mobility.
DC fast charging allows for the rapid charging of EVs and refers to chargers that deliver direct current (DC) at power levels of 50 kW or more. Level 2 (L2) charging, the most common type of public charging available, refers to charging using a 240-volt circuit like those found in homes for clothes dryers.
The new annex details the fuel properties and criteria necessary to control the manufacture and quality of this new fuel, now referred to as “Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids” (HEFA) fuel, to ensure safe aviation use. —Nicholas E. Calio, President and CEO of the Air Transport Association (ATA).
In its Annual Energy Outlook 2022 (AEO2022) Reference case, which reflects current laws and regulations, the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) projects that renewable diesel supply (domestic production and net imports) will exceed biodiesel supply in the near term.
EFT’s proprietary Advanced Fixed Bed (AFB) Fischer-Tropsch reactor and catalyst system can convert synthesis gas from virtually any carbonaceous feedstock into transportation fuels such as renewable diesel and sustainable jet fuel. Through May 2014, more than 1,500 commercial flights have been flown with alternativefuels worldwide.
For the Transportation sector, EIA projects that energy consumption will decline between 2019 and 2037 (in the Reference case) because increases in fuel economy more than offset growth in vehicle miles traveled (VMT). This growth arises from increases in air transportation outpacing increases in aircraft fuel efficiency.
To determine the ON, the results of testing—done in a single-cylinder, variable compression ratio engine—are compared to primary referencefuels; the fuel under test is assigned the ON of the most closely matching referencefuel. —Chow et al. Heywood, J., and Speth, R.
volume and GHG-based fuel standards) to achieve reductions in greenhouse gas emissions from on-road transportation need to evolve towards energy-intensity-based fuel standards (e.g., MJ/km) and complementary regulation of fuel carbon intensity (e.g., Overview on efficiency losses and lifecycle emissions of fuel supply chains.
Achieving stronger cuts in fuel use, carbon dioxide and pollutant emissions requires the use of hybrids and zero emission trucks. In the IEA Modern Truck Scenario, targeted efforts to modernize road freight transport reduces oil demand from road freight vehicles by nearly 16 mb/d by 2050, relative to the Reference Scenario.
Comparison of the percent differential for WTW (well-to-wheel) GHGs from gasoline produced from WCSB oil sands using different production processes relative to gasoline produced from reference crudes. This range is equivalent to annual greenhouse gas emissions from the combustion of fuels in 588,000 to 4,061,000 passenger vehicles.
Hyundai Motor announced the name of its advanced, alternative-fuel compact vehicle due for launch in 2016: the Hyundai IONIQ. The new car’s name references elements of its creation. An ion is an electrically-charged atom, linking to the car’s clever combination of electrified powertrains.
In our study, wedge refers to the size of the GHG reduction that a specific technology or strategy could contribute by 2050 compared to a trajectory of emissions representing currently implemented reduction actions and historically observed economic impacts on energy consumption (we call this trajectory “business as usual” or BAU).
So far, there are few complete comparative studies about the effect of different components of gasoline on fuel economy. Many studies aimed at new combustion models and alternativefuels. However, various alternativefuels are used as additives to gasoline which still have unsolved practical problems.
J0 on Aviation Fuels in ASTM International Committee D02 on Petroleum Products and Lubricants, which consists of more than 2,000 members representing 66 countries, revised the D7566 standard.
