That insight could also help the car industry make cleaner combustion engines. The industrial processes behind crude oil refineries and the inner-workings of gas-powered combustion engines can emit PAHs, which can form into toxic air pollutants such as soot. Zhao et al. This work was supported by the DOE Office of Science.

The study, set in Singapore, suggests that better air quality will bring about climate co-benefits in reducing electricity generation via lower household demand, and thus mitigating carbon emissions. This is important for policymakers when forecasting and influencing future emissions paths in the context of climate change.

California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS), which requires fuel producers to reduce the carbon intensity of fuel sold in the state, is largely responsible for the shift by encouraging the use and production of cleaner alternatives. Since compliance began, the program has helped to replace more than 8.6 billion gallons of diesel.

Battery electric vehicles are only as clean as the energy source used to generate the electricity that powers them. The calculated relative amounts of well-to-wheels emissions of greenhouse gases from eight different energy sources are shown in the table below. Proportional amount of emissions relative to hydro.
