Almost $12 million of Louisiana’s share was put aside to exchange 351 diesel buses owned by 16 local school boards. Almost half the new buses are fueled by cleaner-burning propane or compressed natural gas; the others are cleaner-burning diesel engines. Another $7.3

These reductions have come from strong efforts to reduce on-road vehicle emissions, especially diesel particulate matter. The major sources of methane in California are livestock (~30% of the state’s methane emissions), followed by landfills and oil and gas production. CO 2 remains in the atmosphere for up to a century.

Mikhail Chester and Arpad Horvath inventoried on-road, rail, and air travel to determine energy consumption, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and criteria air pollutant (CAP) emissions (excluding PM, lead, and ozone due to lack of data). Peak urban diesel buses showed the best overall energy consumption and GHG emissions per PKT.

The basic question addressed, which appears on the study homepage (epri-reports.org) is this: How would air quality and greenhouse gas emissions be affected if significant numbers of Americans drove cars that were fueled by the power grid? And the grid is getting cleaner and more renewable every year.

The committee that wrote the report focused on monetizing the damage of major air pollutants—sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, ozone, and particulate matter—on human health, grain crops and timber yields, buildings, and recreation. Most vehicle and fuel combinations had similar levels of greenhouse gas emissions in 2005.
