the cost is less than that of the gasoline ICEV. For the future technology case, HEV, PHEV, and BEV platforms offer the lowest modeled costs of avoided GHG emissions, with many options having a negative cost—i.e.,
A fire yesterday evening in a refinery critical to providing special California gasoline blends may boost gas prices in the state substantially. The blaze, first observed around 6:15 pm and brought under control five hours later, occurred in the Richmond refinery owned by Chevron [NYSE:CVX].
California has 19 oil refineries that process approximately two million barrels of petroleum per day into a variety of products, with gasoline representing about half of the total product volume, according to the California Energy Commission.
The study … used an inappropriate fuel sample methodology designed in part by a Chevron consultant. Nearly all US gasoline is produced by splash-blending 10% ethanol. However, these high boiling point components are typically aromatic compounds—the worst-polluting components of gasoline. —Letter to EPA.
Chevron Technology Ventures and the Institute for Energy Economics of Japan provided support for the study. “We Rather, it is uncertain whether existing biofuels production provides any beneficial improvement over traditional gasoline, after taking into account land use changes and emissions of nitrous oxide.
Aemetis previously reported that it is seeking EPA approval to use grain sorghum to produce Advanced Biofuels, generally defined by the EPA as fuels that contain less than 50% of the carbon intensity of gasoline through the use of advanced feedstock, bio-methane, and combined heat and power.
Refiners would continue to produce two high volume products in the gasoline boiling range: the Exx BOB (Blendstock for Oxygenate Blending) would have a low octane requirement (e.g., Gasoline or E10 BOB would be premium-grade fuel for total coverage of legacy fleet. RON ~85), and be inexpensive for refiners to produce.
The new octane index correlation can be used for designing robust HCCI control strategies, capable of handling the wide spectrum of fuel chemical compositions found in pump gasoline, the researchers said in their paper published in the International Journal of Engine Research. —Lacey et al.
