Today cars account for 13% of greenhouse gas emissions in the EU and vans 2%. This is especially important now that the prices of diesel and petrol continue to rise. Van-makers would be required to reduce the average emissions of new vehicles by 15% in 2025 and 50% in 2030. All new vans in 2035 would need to be zero-emissions.

The German government is co-funding the three-year project that will test the first cars to run on dimethyl ether (DME) ( earlier post ), commonly used as a non-toxic propellant in aerosol spray gas, and monooxymethylene ether (OME1). Like liquefied petroleum gas, DME must be stored in a slightly pressurized tank.

However, with the increasing awareness of the impact CO 2 has on the environment more and more attention is being directed at how to mitigate the effects CO 2 has as a greenhouse gas. Our research proposes the utilization of CO 2 into fuel, recycling the gas and using it as a raw material rather than a waste product. Scott Shaw.

Jacoby also raised concerns about the viability of the European Commission’s White Paper on Transport, which states that greenhouse gas emissions in the transport sector will have to be cut by at least 60% by 2050 to achieve the EU’s climate change goals. It is far too early to dismiss the conventional diesel and petrol power trains.

Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) vehicles completely phased out. In particular, the fiscal measures alone may render petrol/diesel powered vehicles prohibitively expensive compared with say, PEVs.
