The resulting biofuel, n -butanol, is a carbon-neutral fuel alternative that can be used in blends with diesel or gasoline. —Arpita Bose, associate professor of biology in Arts & Sciences, and leader of the study. The results are reported in an open-access paper in the journal Communications Biology.

Policies to entice consumers away from fossil-fuel powered vehicles and normalize low carbon, alternative-fuel alternatives, such as electric vehicles, are vital if the world is to significantly reduce transport sector carbon pure-emissions, according to a new study. Note the different scaling used in the graphs.

The LCFS program calls for a 10% reduction in the carbon intensity of fuel sold in California over the next decade. Obligated parties are upstream producers and importers of gasoline and diesel fuel sold in the state. The program is agnostic as to which fuels can be used to meet the Standard. —Lade and Lin.

Achieving the reduction will require combined reductions across three factors: modes, demand and fuels. According to the TEF studies, achieving deep reductions are dependent on combined reductions across three factors: vehicle fuel consumption (modes); vehicle use (service demand); and fuel carbon intensity (fuels).

Partly for these reasons, many LCA studies truncate impact assessment at the inventory characterization step, rather than completing normalization and weighting steps. Following normalization of the inventory and weighting, the SMA-LCIA model determines the rank acceptability index (RAI) of each fuel on a scale from 1 to 5.
