California Assemblymembers introduce bill phasing out gasoline-fueled small off-road engines

Green Car Congress

AB 1346 would require new sales of SORE to be zero-emission by 2024 or whenever the California Air Resources Board (CARB) determines is feasible, whichever is later. Today, operating the best-selling gas-powered commercial leaf blower for one hour emits air pollutants comparable to driving a 2017 Toyota Camry from Los Angeles to Denver.

Lyft commits to 100% EVs by 2030

Green Car Congress

By working with drivers to transition to electric vehicles, we have the potential to avoid tens of millions of metric tons of GHG emissions to the atmosphere and to reduce gasoline consumption by more than a billion gallons over the next decade. Lyft is also joining The Climate Group’s EV100 initiative to help kick-start the work.

Study on Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Global Cities Highlights Importance of Geophysical and Technical Factors

Green Car Congress

By including upstream emissions from fuels, GHG emissions from cities exceed those attributed to direct end-use by up to 24% (for Toronto). By including upstream emissions from fuels, the researchers found that GHG emissions attributable to cities exceed those from direct end use by up to 24%. Tonnes CO 2 e/capita.

Study finds vehicles more important source of urban atmospheric ammonia than farms

Green Car Congress

Instead, the research team found that ammonia emissions from cities are much larger than recognized, occur at the very times when unhealthy particulate matter is at its worst, and when agricultural emissions are at daily or seasonal lows. Vehicle NH 3 emissions depend on road grade, driving mode, and vehicle age. ppbv/ppmv).
