ICCT study examines current & projected use of heavy fuel oil in Arctic shipping; growth in BC emissions points to need for policies

Green Car Congress

A new study by the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) estimates heavy fuel oil (HFO) use, HFO carriage, the use and carriage of other fuels, black carbon (BC) emissions, and emissions of other air and climate pollutants for the year 2015, with projections to 2020 and 2025.

ICCT life-cycle analysis finds no climate benefit in using LNG as marine fuel

Green Car Congress

Additionally, LNG engines are tuned to either emit low nitrogen oxide (NO x ) emissions—at the cost of higher methane emissions in some cases—or to incorporate NO x reduction technologies such as exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) or selective catalytic reduction (SCR). We know from Olmer et al. —Pavlenko et al.

ICCT study finds GHGs from shipping on the rise

Green Car Congress

Emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) from global shipping are on the rise again, according to a new study released by the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT). The study highlights that three ship classes and six flag states (country of registration) are responsible for the majority of emissions. Source: The ICCT.

DOE launching $80M Supertruck II initiative; 55% BTE; awards $12M for 3 medium- and heavy-duty plug-in projects

Green Car Congress

Improving the fuel efficiency of these vehicles can go a long way to reducing dependency on oil and lowering carbon emissions. As the backbone of domestic freight transportation, 18-wheelers haul 70% of all freight tonnage. The Department of Energy launched its first SuperTruck initiative in 2010.

It is also flex so that future biomass fuels such as cellulosic ethanol, methanol can be used (no oil). Also maintenance on these (no oil changes to speak of) etc will cost much less than an internal combution propelled car. Those cars will reduce oil demand at most by about 1/5th of one percent. — Volt Enthusiast 7.
