A new study quantifying emissions from a fleet of gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines and port fuel injection (PFI) engines finds that the measured decrease in CO 2 emissions from GDIs is much greater than the potential climate forcing associated with higher black carbon emissions from GDI engines.

The alternative-fuel car evolved to reduce exhaust emissions and other problems derived from burning fossil fuels. Though the PHEV combines the two types of energy and power, it is not merely a temporary “transition” between gasoline and diesel cars to pure electric cars.

Co-Optima’s premise is that current fuels constrain engine design—and thus engine efficiency. Thrust I has concentrated on improving near-term SI engine efficiency and assessing desirable properties for bio-derived or bio-based components (blendstocks) to be blended with petroleum-derived gasoline.
