The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has released the results of a multiyear study evaluating exhaust emissions from the use of California Reformulated Gasoline (CaRFG) that contains 15 volume percent ethanol (E15). The study used two fuels—an E10 and E15.

Their paper is published in the ACS journal Energy & Fuels. The researchers used four fuels: a baseline US EPA Tier 3 E10 fuel; one E10 fuel with higher aromatics content than the baseline E10; an E30 fuel that was splash-blended with the Tier 3 E10; and an E78 fuel. —Yang et al. Durbin, Kent C.

It has been a challenge to determine how much each polluter contributes to the emission output. However, the amount of pollutant emissions that vehicles emit on a daily basis depends on numerous factors, for example on individual driving behavior. We record 36,000 data points per hour. —Thomas Karl.

Gasoline direct-injection (GDI) engines have higher fuel economy compared to the more widely used port fuel injection (PFI) engines. Among the findings from the study: For vehicles certified to the same emissions standard, there is no statistical difference of regulated gas-phase pollutant emissions between PFIs and GDIs.

The alternative-fuel car evolved to reduce exhaust emissions and other problems derived from burning fossil fuels. The PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle), a subset of the electric car, combines a primary electric motor with a much smaller back-up engine fueled with a hydrocarbon/biofuel mix. slow charge.
