Study: even with high LDV electrification, low-carbon biofuels will be necessary to meet 80% GHG reduction target; “daunting” policy implications

Green Car Congress

These 9 combinations became the reference scenarios with defined fuel requirements and GHG emissions. The reference case scenarios assume no change to GHG intensity from current levels. while the climate-targeted scenarios assume that electricity supply is decarbonized by 80%. Third, U.S.

Study suggests current levels of methane leakage would result in numerous decades of more rapid climate change from a shift to natural gas vehicles

Green Car Congress

Estimates of the net climate implications of fuel-switching strategies should be based on complete fuel cycles (e.g., well-to-wheels”) and account for changes in emissions of relevant radiative forcing agents. emissions through the natural gas supply network, hereafter referred to as CH 4. —Alvarez et al.

Using the PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle) to Transition Society Seamlessly and Profitably From Fossil Fuel to 100% Renewable Energy

Green Car Congress

In this paper PHEV refers solely to the long-range PHEV of 60 miles (100 km) electric-only range.) References. More information on e-mile comparisons is given by Reference Nº 2. This change in vehicles and fuel would provide our sought-for zero net CO 2 fueling or energy system. Also see Appendix E and Reference 1.).
