At the current pace of research and development, replacing gasoline and diesel with renewable fuel alternatives could take some 131 years, according to a new University of California, Davis, study using a new sustainability forecasting approach based on market expectations. There are a number of possible reasons for the large range.

By 2050, biofuels could provide 27% of total transport fuel and contribute in particular to the replacement of diesel, kerosene and jet fuel, according to a new report from the International Energy Agency (IEA). This projected use of biofuels could avoid around 2.1 gigatonnes of CO2) of emission reductions in the transport sector.

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.

The goal is to compete with diesel and offer a viable alternative. After exploring various technologies, LNG emerged as the best fuel for long-haul trucking, while electric versions could be suitable for short distances. We are expecting orders in the range of 2,000 to 3,000 trucks in a year.

To demonstrate the technique, Kristin Rogers and Thomas Seager applied it to a set of conventional and alternative transportation fuels (carefully noting that their purpose was purpose to illustrate the method, not to provide definitive conclusions about alternative fuels).

This can deliver significant savings in fuel consumption and help to avoid emissions. As part of an electric propulsion power system, the concept is also fully compatible with zero-emission battery and fuel cell technologies.

The insight ultimately could lead to a cost-effective and energy-efficient strategy for turning biomass into alternative fuels. The ability to economically and easily break cellulose into sugars is desirable because the sugars can be used to create fuel alternatives. Tags: Biomass Fuels.

This amount of fuel production represents 8% of light duty gasoline consumption in 2006, calculated on an energy basis. Some 95% of greenhouse gas emissions from distribution result from fuel combustion, with the distribution of the ethanol from production facilities, whether by truck or rail, contributing the largest amount of emissions.

The interest in microbial synthesis of fuels and chemicals has increased substantially as efforts to transition toward a “bio-based” economy have gained momentum; however, the ability to more broadly use biological systems for chemical production is somewhat limited by the natural repertoire of biosynthetic pathways.
