CARB releases results of multi-year E15 study; multiple air quality benefits with slight reduction in fuel economy

Green Car Congress

JULY 18, 2022

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has released the results of a multiyear study evaluating exhaust emissions from the use of California Reformulated Gasoline (CaRFG) that contains 15 volume percent ethanol (E15). California currently limits the ethanol content of gasoline to 10 percent.

Their paper is published in the ACS journal Energy & Fuels.

A new report by the UK’s Office for National Statistics (ONS) finds that greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from road transport in the UK rose by 6% from 1990 to 2017. Diesel use exceeded gasoline use from 2005 onwards. Source: Office for National Statistics – UK Environmental Accounts, Energy Use datasets.

The researchers analyzed extensive satellite and ground-based measurements of nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide. They found that levels of pollutants that can contribute to the formation of ground-level ozone, or smog, have failed to continue a fairly steady decline as estimated by the US Environmental Protection Agency.

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) announced that greenhouse gas emissions in California in 2016 fell below 1990 levels for the first time since emissions peaked in 2004—a reduction roughly equivalent to taking 12 million cars off the road or saving 6 billion gallons of gasoline a year.

It has been a challenge to determine how much each polluter contributes to the emission output. However, the amount of pollutant emissions that vehicles emit on a daily basis depends on numerous factors, for example on individual driving behavior. We record 36,000 data points per hour. —Thomas Karl.

They also found that extending the lifetime of a vehicle contributed to a moderate increase in emissions of criteria pollutants (NO x , HC, and CO) during the use phase of the vehicle. —Kagawa et al. Extending vehicle life reduces the number of new vehicles sold, with an associated decrease in energy consumed for vehicle production.
