International consortium working on new sensor technology to measure real-world, in-use vehicle emissions

Green Car Congress

As part of the Horizon 2020 research project CARES (City Air Remote Emission Sensing), an international research consortium is working on new contactless exhaust measurement methods that will enable municipalities to take emission-reducing measures. The aim is to detect the exhaust class of each individual vehicle using these measurements.

Study suggests that decarbonizing US transport sector by converting waste CO2 to fuels would require economical air-capture of CO2

Green Car Congress

pre- and post- decarbonization of the electric power sector—to which he referred as pre-CCS and post-CCS, respectively (although decarbonization was not necessarily via CCS—carbon capture and storage).) Direct capture of CO 2 from air, or from an exhaust stream vented to the atmosphere, represents negative emissions.

Using the PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle) to Transition Society Seamlessly and Profitably From Fossil Fuel to 100% Renewable Energy

Green Car Congress

The alternative-fuel car evolved to reduce exhaust emissions and other problems derived from burning fossil fuels. In this paper PHEV refers solely to the long-range PHEV of 60 miles (100 km) electric-only range.) He was formerly with the University of Wisconsin and Rockwell International, and holds a Ph.D. References.

Perspective: Regional Greenhouse Gas Cap-and-Trade Programs May be the Solution

Green Car Congress

That agreement calls for a program that will cover nearly 90 percent of the regionā€™s greenhouse gas emissions when it is fully implemented (commonly referred to as an economy-wide program). To be credible, as noted above, an offset should equate to an emission reduction from a direct emission source, such as a smokestack or exhaust pipe.
