BTL and cellulosic ethanol); hybrid and electric traction; and. Earlier post.).
Paradox 1 - Soot: There's an apparent emissions paradox with plug-in hybrids (PHEV): Driving longer distances on batterypower means more cold starts as the internal combustion engine (ICE) stops and starts up again after the batteries deplete. To take one example, batteries. Cold starts mean more pollution.
