.… In this study, we present a comprehensive database of emissions from a fleet of GDI- and PFI-equipped light-duty gasoline vehicles tested on a chassis dynamometer over the cold-start unified cycle (UC). We use the data to quantify the effects of engine technology, emission standards, and cold-start on emissions. of the data.

The utility of guidelines for sustainable biofuel production and certification programs may be reduced if they are based only on product life-cycle and farming standards, as these cannot address the difficult issue of indirect land use resulting from growing demand. However very few studies include water use impacts. In 2007/08, 0.9%

R134a replaced CFC-12 as the MAC refrigerant in the early 1990s due to the negative impact of CFCs on the Earth’s ozone layer. The performance-based standards for low GWP refrigerants in Europe and the United States allow automakers to choose a replacement for HFC-134a. —Minjares, ICCT Working paper.
