To that end, ARB staff is holding two more workshops on the development of a regulation to limit the amount of time that internal combustion engine-driven TRUs and TRU gensets operate while stationary, as well as requiring an overall zero-emission mode operating time. Background.
Renault held a “2010 Environment Workshop” last week to showcase its progress across its range of vehicles’ full lifecycle through the Renault eco² program. When the flap is in the closed position, gas flows unhindered through the ports that remain open and increases turbulence. This technology delivers CO 2 emissions savings of 0.5%.
Car users from the world’s least affluent cities are exposed to a disproportionate amount of in-car air pollution because they rely heavily on opening their windows for ventilation, according to a new global study led by researchers at the University of Surrey. This is yet a distant dream in many ODA countries. Nogueira, T., Abbass, R.A.,
The California Air Resources Board (ARB) has released , for public review, a concept paper to initiate discussion on the development of a Short-Lived Climate Pollutant Reduction Strategy. Short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) include methane, tropospheric ozone, black carbon, and fluorinated gases.
In the agreement, California and the Ministry commit to activities that will reduce air pollution while enabling sustained economic growth and increase cooperation to enhance pollution control strategies for industrial sectors and the transportation sector.
The California Air Resources Board released a new draft of California’s Short-Lived Climate Pollutant Strategy to significantly reduce the near-term climate impacts of these potent pollutants. Methane is the most abundant of the short-lived climate pollutants in California. Governor Edmund G. Next Steps.
In an effort to reliably predict efficiency and pollutant emissions for new engines and fuels, computer simulations are used to study fundamental turbulence-chemistry interactions. Fuel sprays set the initial conditions for combustion in essentially all future transportation engines, the workshop noted. —PreSICE workshop report.
The number of StreetScooters used in the business world, in municipalities and at Deutsche Post is also on the rise in Germany and abroad, and the reason is the same in both arenas: Pollution and more pollution in major cities everywhere. That’s why we’re delighted to be able to start production in Düren.
The California Air Resources Board (ARB) recently held a workshop to discuss proposed amendments to the Regulations for Fuel Sulfur and Other Operational Requirements for ocean-going vessels (OGV). It requires OGVs to use less polluting marine distillate fuels instead of heavy fuel oil within a designated area along the California coastline.
Under the decision, 70% of the funds will go towards charging for medium-and heavy-duty vehicles, which are responsible for a disproportionate share of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and other air pollutants from the transportation sector, and 30% will go towards light-duty charging at or near multi-unit dwellings.
In a 1 August 2018 letter to CARB Chair Mary Nichols, Governor Brown wrote : As the California Air Resources Board looks for ways to meet our 5-million zero emission vehicle target by 2030, the conversion of public and private fleets to zero emission offers an important opportunity to get a large number of carbon-polluting vehicles off the road.
The plan was issued by the four associations representing the full automotive supply chain: from equipment and tire suppliers, to vehicle manufacturers, to dealers and workshops (ACEA, CECRA, CLEPA and ETRMA). Reopen dealerships and motor vehicle workshops as soon as possible. Consider temporary flexibilities in competition rules.
On Tuesday, ARB held a public workshop , with EPA’s participation, to discuss the SCR system attributes that will be evaluated during staff’s review of an application for certification. SCR is currently the primary NO x control strategy for heavy-duty on-road engines.
EPA sets NAAQS for six key pollutants known as “criteria pollutants” that are commonly found across the United States: ozone, particle pollution (particulate matter), lead, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide. The new NAAQS review process. Click to enlarge.
In addition to temperature-induced bleaching, coral reefs in many parts of the world are under stress from overfishing, destructive fishing, coastal pollution, and sedimentation. 360ppm is the level at which reefs “ cease to be viable in the long term ,” according to coral reef specialist Professor John E.N.
Emission control technology projects addressing criteria pollutants and GHGs are desired, with consideration that future standards are likely to influence NGV technology adoption. A complete engine development project is outside the scope of this effort, but engine subsystem research must have a plausible pathway to higher engine efficiency.
The simulator is expected to contribute with efforts to reduce energy consumption and limit emissions of the substances in South and East Asia that cause atmospheric pollution—one factor in global warming—and thereby bring about significant benefits worldwide.
CARB also adopted a new plan to curb destructive “super pollutants” including black carbon, fluorinated gases and methane. The plan, California’s Short-lived Climate Pollutant Reduction Strategy, maps out the route to more rapid greenhouse gas reductions by clamping down on these super pollutants. —CARB Chair Mary D.

A public workshop on natural gas vehicles was held at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory on 25 July 2017 to identify early-stage research needs for natural gas engines. The programmatic goal is to enable natural gas engines that can cost-effectively achieve diesel-like efficiency while meeting current and future emissions standards.
Jacobson said the information is important because black carbon within clouds makes the clouds “burn off” and disappear over heavily polluted urban and other areas. Emissions of black carbon also involve the co-emission of other pollutants, which can have additional warming or cooling effects.
The Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) collaborated with the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board to organise a ‘Circularity Workshop’ on ‘Extended Producer Responsibility Regime: An Innovative Policy Tool for Fostering a Sustainable Circular Economy in the Automotive Industry.’

ARB staff will provide the Board an informational briefing on the proposed strategy on 22 October.
The mixture is combusted almost without pollution. The required components were manufactured by Empa’s own workshop. Another speciality of the system set up at Empa is the choice of hydraulic fluid: instead of using oil as usual, a water-glycol mixture—i.e. engine cooling water—can be used. TSI engine.
Vehicles are the major contributor to global warming pollution. A public workshop will take place 27 April at the Energy Commission in Sacramento to discuss the solicitation’s objectives, process, timeline, and the potential projects that could be funded with AB 118 and ARRA funds.
