MIT and the IEA both have newly released reports exploring the potential for and impact of a major expansion in global usage of natural gas, given the current re-evaluation of global supplies. MIT: leaning toward conversion for light-duty vehicles. Earlier post.) I.e., on an energy basis at the point of use, the CO 2.

Highly turbocharged alcohol-fueled direct-injection spark-ignition (DISI) engines operated at a high compression ratio could be as or more efficient than diesel engines while also providing advantages of lower vehicle cost, lower emissions and higher power, according to a recent modeling study by Leslie Bromberg and Daniel Cohn at MIT.

A recent white paper by Leslie Bromberg of MIT’s Plasma Science and Fusion Center and Wai K. Large scale production of methanol from natural gas and coal is a well-developed. There is a very large potential supply of methanol since it can be made from natural gas, coal and biomass feedstocks. It is a safe fuel.

Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), also known as propane or autogas, can be used to replace gasoline and diesel. LPG is the fourth most common vehicle fuel in the US behind gasoline, diesel, and natural gas; it powers more than 14 million vehicles around the world, according to CleanFUEL. —Tucker Perkins. Renewable propane.

LC-GHG emissions for the alternative diesel fuel pathways in the study. potentially be produced with lower LC-GHG emissions than conventional diesel, or with LC-GHG emissions that exceed those of conventional diesel. Uncertainty bars represent the variability captured by the low emissions, baseline, and high emissions scenarios.
