U. Minnesota team develops Lagrangian technique to identify NOx hotspots; opportunity for connected vehicles and big data

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the University of Minnesota have introduced a new method for identifying NO x emissions hotspots using high-fidelity Lagrangian vehicle data to explore spatial interactions that may influence emissions production. Average real-world tailpipe NO x in g/bkW-hr versus route, test period, and vehicle type. A study by Wu et al.

ARB: carbon intensity of biomethane from wastewater sludge could be as low as -65.27 g CO2e/MJ

Green Car Congress

In this model, the majority of the biogas is allocated to the production of renewable power using a device such as a gas-fired turbine with an exhaust heat recovery system. Heat recovered from the exhaust of the combustion gases produced by power generation sustains the mesophilic thermal requirements of the anaerobic digesters.

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). states (Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin) and one Canadian province (Manitoba). In 2015ā€“nearly 90% of emissions.
