A new report by the UK’s Office for National Statistics (ONS) finds that greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from road transport in the UK rose by 6% from 1990 to 2017. Diesel use exceeded gasoline use from 2005 onwards. Source: Office for National Statistics – UK Environmental Accounts, Energy Use datasets.

Economists view higher gasoline taxes as one solution to reducing gasoline consumption and thus air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and reliance on oil, while at the same time providing revenue to the government for highway repair and construction.

Leaded gasoline was a ubiquitous source of air pollution between the 1920s and 1970s. Other studies have shown a higher incidence of dementia among older adults living closer to major roads and among those with a greater exposure to traffic related pollution.

They found that levels of pollutants that can contribute to the formation of ground-level ozone, or smog, have failed to continue a fairly steady decline as estimated by the US Environmental Protection Agency. We were surprised by the discrepancy between the estimates of emissions and the actual measurements of pollutants in the atmosphere.

the pollutant emissions discharged at the tailpipe outlet will be so low as to be hardly measurable, and their practical impact on air quality will be negligible. A transition from the gasoline or diesel ICE to a full gasoline/diesel hybrid can significantly reduce emissions. —Reitz et al. g/bhp-h or 15–20?mg/km).

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) announced that greenhouse gas emissions in California in 2016 fell below 1990 levels for the first time since emissions peaked in 2004—a reduction roughly equivalent to taking 12 million cars off the road or saving 6 billion gallons of gasoline a year.

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.

First, some background from the New York Times : The rule increasingly limits the amount of pollution allowed from tailpipes over time so that, by 2032, more than half the new cars sold in the United States would most likely be zero-emissions vehicles in order for carmakers to meet the standards. It very much is not. Fear is effective.

They also found that extending the lifetime of a vehicle contributed to a moderate increase in emissions of criteria pollutants (NO x , HC, and CO) during the use phase of the vehicle. —Kagawa et al. Extending vehicle life reduces the number of new vehicles sold, with an associated decrease in energy consumed for vehicle production.

Growth Energy, an ethanol industry trade group, petitioned the EPA in March 2009 to raise the limit on ethanol in gasoline from 10 to 15 percent. EPA’s decision was based largely on a DOE study of the effects of E15 on durability of catalytic converters, the primary pollution control system in a vehicle. Background.
