Renewable-methanol fueled Geely cars in fleet testing in Iceland; 70% reduction in WTW CO2 compared to gasoline

Green Car Congress

The average in-use emissions were calculated as 46 g CO2 per kilometer, accounting for the consumption of both fuels. Methanol which is produced with CRI’s method is one of the most environmentally friendly liquid fuels available today. CRI’s current plant has a renewable methanol production capacity of 4,000 metric ton/year.

IEA working paper highlights potential role of natural gas in reducing global road transport CO2

Green Car Congress

On average, a 25% reduction in carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2-eq) emissions can be expected on a well-to-wheel (WTW) basis when replacing gasoline by light-duty vehicles (LDVs) running on compressed natural gas (CNG).
