Tsinghua/Argonne Study Finds That Mass Use of EVs in China Could Result in Higher CO2 and Criteria Pollutant Emissions Than Conventional and Hybrid Gasoline Vehicles Due to Coal-Fired Generation of Electricity

Green Car Congress

Fuel-cycle SO 2 emissions of EVs compared to those of gasoline ICEVs and HEVs in China, current (left) and future (right). The study examined the fuel-cycle CO 2 , SO 2 , and NO x emissions of EVs in China in both current (2008) and future (2030) periods and compared them with those of conventional gasoline vehicles and gasoline hybrids.

International automotive researchers emphasize the importance of continued development of the internal combustion engine

Green Car Congress

We are certainly in revolutionary times, but it is clear that power generation sources will not become fully renewable and transport will not become fully electric for several decades, if ever. Global warming potential (GWP) in CO2 equivalent tons by sector. —Reitz et al. g/bhp-h or 15–20?mg/km). road dust) are accounted for.

What we don’t admit about carbon dioxide

Electric Auto Association

Intuitive misconceptions about this harmful gas slows EV adoption By PETER DOUGLAS: MEMBER, ELECTRIC AUTO ASSOCIATION. The decision to purchase an electric vehicle (EV) over an internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle involves several factors. Carbon dioxide seems perfectly benign Carbon dioxide has become a part of our daily lives.

The cost effectiveness of this approach is further underscored by its impact on lean NO x trap (LNT) and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) aftertreatment systems, which have less raw NOx emissions to process, potentially allowing for a reduction in exhaust system cost and complexity, and a longer service life. —Paul Bloore.

Study Finds Controlling Soot May Be Fastest Method to Reduce Arctic Ice Loss and Global Warming; Second-Leading Cause of Global Warming After CO2

Green Car Congress

Jacobson used a computer model of global climate, air pollution and weather that he developed over the last 20 years and updated to include additional atmospheric processes to analyze how soot can heat clouds, snow and ice. Particle traps filter out soot particles from exhaust fumes. Dessler et al., 2008] and methane [Schutz et al.,

ICCT: 2025 target average of 70 g/km CO2 for new cars in EU feasible and economical; more so with electric drive

Green Car Congress

However, transitioning soon to electric drive could lower manufacturers’ compliance costs by as much as €500 (US$532) per vehicle in 2025. Our analysis shows that a CO 2 target of 70 g/km for 2025, on average for the entire new car fleet, can be achieved with either no or only modest levels electric vehicle penetration.
