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).
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 FuelsStandard (RFS), and existing emission standards. The High Mitigation Case assumes rapid technological progress and aggressive emission standards.
volume and GHG-based fuelstandards) to achieve reductions in greenhouse gas emissions from on-road transportation need to evolve towards energy-intensity-based fuelstandards (e.g., MJ/km) and complementary regulation of fuel carbon intensity (e.g., Numbers and references are given in Creutzig et al.
This world-first order for a G80 methanol engine is just a continuation of the general market trend toward methanol where the ME-LGIM engine has become the de facto industry standard for large, methanol-fuelled, merchant marine vessels. As such, methanol is quickly becoming the most prominent alternativefuel in the container vessel segment.
The California Air Resources Board (ARB) released its proposed regulation to implement the Low Carbon FuelStandard. The regulation establishes two performance standards that fuel producers and importers must meet each year beginning in 2011. A second similar standard is set for diesel fuel and its replacements.
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. Overview of Proposed Program Elements. Seeking comment on three options.

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.
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). Light-duty vehicle miles traveled increases by 20% in the Reference case, growing from 2.9
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.
US President Barack Obama today announced a new harmonized national policy intended to reduce fuel consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for all new cars and trucks sold in the US. The resulting new standards will cover model years 2012-2016, and will require an average fuel economy standard of 35.5
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.
Green cars” can be defined as vehicles that use alternativefuels (other than petrol or diesel) and/or alternative types of propulsion (other than the conventional ICE). Alternativefuels include biofuels, natural gas, hydrogen and electricity from the grid. Timing and sequencing of energy technology policy.
The analysis used by federal agencies to set standards for fuel economy (CAFE) and greenhouse gas emissions for new US light-duty vehicles from 2017 to 2025 was thorough and of high caliber overall, according to a new report from the National Research Council. only the MY 2017-2021 CAFE standards are final. Background.
Although trucks are a major contributor to the growth in transport-fuel consumption and emissions, the sector receives far less attention and policy focus than passenger vehicles, the IEA noted. Only four countries have energy-efficiency standards for heavy trucks, compared with some 40 countries with passenger-vehicle standards.
Many studies aimed at new combustion models and alternativefuels. However, various alternativefuels are used as additives to gasoline which still have unsolved practical problems. MTBE and toluene were chosen as oxygenated fuels and aromatics, respectively. Pure isooctane was referred to as O100.

EU legislation currently refers to low-emission vehicles as vehicles having tailpipe emissions below 50 g/km. This would include some plug-in hybrids, full electric cars and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. This includes common standards for a distance-based charging system in the EU. Zero-emission vehicles.

Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. Battery electric vehicles.
The refinery CO 2 accounting uses standard, published carbon intensity factors for the various refinery fuels.some observers assume that the US crude oil slate is set to shift precipitously and completely to heavy, high-sulfur crudes, and they assert that this shift would lead to steep increases in refinery energy use and CO 2 emissions.

For the reference case, the model assumed extension of the existing legislation to 2030. can be removed. Methodology.
In normal driving scenarios, SEAT’s CNG vehicles only use gasoline as an alternativefuel when the CNG tanks are empty, although with significant gas ranges, the need to use gasoline should be infrequent. All the TGI versions comply with the highest crash safety standards. With three CNG tanks totalling 13.8
This requires simple, easy-to-understand terms without jargon, and that leverage consumer’s existing reference point of the gasoline refueling experience. In an ensuing discussion around this “charging station” reference it wasn’t clear what the author meant. 39% assumed charging station refers to the site/location and 43.2%
They used GREET 1 fuel-cycle and GREET 2 vehicle-cycle models to determine GHG (CO 2 , CH 4 , and N 2 O) and criteria air contaminant (CAC) (PM 2.5 , VOC, NO x , and SO x ) emissions. These metrics are similar for both the CNG HEV and NG-e BEV because differences in vehicle operation and fuel production stages largely offset each other.
