The California Air Resources Board held a workshop on March 2 designed to kick off a pioneering effort to craft standards to help develop the next generation of cleaner cars. The new approach will link formerly separate standards to reduce toxic tailpipe emissions and greenhouse gas emissions into a single regulatory framework.
proposed strategy for further regulation and reduction of mobile source—cars, trucks, and off-road equipment—emissions. precursor emissions; GHG emissions; petroleum usage; and diesel toxics emissions as various technologies become widespread in vehicle and equipment fleets. Vision 2.0 Click to enlarge.
Regulatory regimes seeking to reduce emissions from transport have largely focused on tailpipe emissions—i.e., 2013 found that the ratio of non-exhaust to exhaust particles is strongly increasing in the last two decades, due to exhaust emission reductions. Further, a 2013 review by Denier van der Gon et al. earlier post ).

Appendix D (the Environmental Mitigation Trust) is intended to mitigate fully all past and future excess NO x emissions from the subject vehicles. Green City.
The complexity of new and future vehicles—driven by the need for increasing fuel efficiency and decreasing emissions with ever-changing drive-cycle demands and environmental conditions—is adding unprecedented flexibility in design and driving the need for better simulation and more powerful computers, observed Dr. Robert M.
To coincide with its participation in the new Freight in the City event (27 October, Alexandra Palace) the UK’s LowCVP is calling on fleet operators, local authorities and others to join forces in building the market for heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) which cut carbon, reduce emissions and lower fuel costs.
The Truck and Bus Regulation was adopted in 2008 to clean up harmful emissions from nearly all heavy-duty diesel trucks operating in California. Truckers were able to expand on these concerns at five ARB-sponsored public workshops held across the state in December. Background. The amendments.
The amendments are designed to provide new flexibility to truckers working to clean up their aging diesel fleets while still protecting the emission benefits the regulation provides. Truckers were able to expand on these concerns at five ARB-sponsored public workshops held across the state in December.
Since 2011, the LCFS has been a cornerstone policy of California’s effort to reduce greenhouse gas (GHGs) emissions and has spurred innovation in low-carbon transportation fuels such as hydrogen, electricity and biodiesel. California has set a 2030 target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions 40% below 1990 levels by 2030.
CARB approved the State Strategy for the State Implementation Plan ( State SIP Strategy ), which describes CARB’s commitment for further reducing vehicle emissions needed to meet federal air quality standards over the next 15 years. emissions by more than 20%. emissions by more than 20%.
million zero-emission vehicles on the road by 2025. The move was one of several actions designed to help achieve a key goal of the state’s zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) plan: to accelerate construction of hydrogen refueling infrastructure across the state. Earlier post.). —Chairman Nichols. and Rhode Island.
NOAA researchers on the ship Atlantis focused on various sources of emissions, air quality and meteorology along the California coast and in the San Francisco Bay. The 274-foot research vessel examined the composition of emissions from more than 70 passing ships over 24 days.
The California Air Resources Board (ARB) recently held a workshop to discuss proposed amendments to the Regulations for Fuel Sulfur and Other Operational Requirements for ocean-going vessels (OGV). Earlier post.) In addition, this route on the Southern side of the Channel Islands goes through the US Navy’s Pt. Mugu Sea Range has increased.
The California Air Resources Board on Thursday adopted the final greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions cap-and-trade regulation. The “cap” limits GHG emissions, and uses allowances—one allowance equals one ton of GHGs—to control total emissions. Compliance obligations for greenhouse gas emissions begins 1 January 2013.
The acronym is the same, but the US Department of Energy’s renamed 15 th DEER conference ( DEER 2009 ), to be held in Dearborn, Michigan 3-6 August, will feature a greatly expanded program extending well beyond its origin in diesel engine emissions reduction to include other engine technologies, advanced combustion processes, and fuels.
That means new jobs, cleaner water and air—and a working model for other states, and the nation, to use as we gear up to fight climate change and make our economy more competitive and resilient. Entities will first need to surrender allowances to the state government to cover 2013 emissions in November 2014 (30% of a company’s 2013.
The two leaders emphasized their countries’ strong shared interest in accelerating the deployment of electric vehicles in order to reduce oil dependence, cut greenhouse gas emissions and promote economic growth. Activities under the initiative will include : Joint standards development. 21 st Century Coal. Shale Gas Initiative.
of Stanford University reported that reducing soot emissions from diesel engines and other sources could slow melting of sea ice in the Arctic faster and more economically than any other quick fix. Soot emissions are second only to carbon dioxide in promoting global warming, but its effects have been underestimated in previous climate models.
The state is aggressively working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80% below 1990 levels by 2050, decrease petroleum fuel use to 15% below 2003 levels by 2020, and increase alternative fuel use to 20% by 2020. Vehicles are the major contributor to global warming pollution. The Investment Plan promotes sustainable development.
Scania unveiled its new global engine platform that will be used worldwide for all emission standards: Euro 3, Euro 4, Euro 5, EEV and Euro 6. All inline engines are based on the latest platform introduced in 2007 with technologies to meet Euro 5 and Euro 6 emission requirements, as well as Euro 4 and Euro 3. Emission technology.
CArE-Cities involves 11 Development Assistance Committee (DAC) listed countries and aspires to bring cleaner air to cities by building a knowledge exchange platform. Its activities include joint workshops, researchers exchange and pilot studies to address urban development and health impact assessment agendas in ODA countries.
While this is something numerous automakers have done in recent months, the “Multipathway Workshop” faced a predictable amount of criticism from EV acolytes. The companies' proposition for multiple paths to carbon neutrality is persuasive, assuming the transition to a cleaner future ruled by electric vehicles will be halting and slow.
Keep in mind that repairing or replacing the motor of a fuel car can cost up to $10.000 and, all things considered, EVs simply require fewer visits to workshops and are much cheaper to own. Are EVs really cleaner & greener choices? Adopting better production methods and recycling processes would also reduce emissions significantly.
2 Plug-in hybrids are cleaner 3 Plug-in hybrids are cheaper 4 Plug-in hybrids are domestic 5 Plug-in hybrids already exist 1. So youll have a cleaner, cheaper, quieter car for your local travel, and the gas tank is always there should you need to drive longer distances. What Are Plug-In Hybrids? You dont have to plug it in.
