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.

EN 15940 was approved by CEN, the European Committee for Standardization, in April 2016. Paraffinic diesel fuels are liquid fuels that can be synthetically created from feedstocks such as natural gas (GTL), biomass (BTL) or coal (CTL); or through hydro-treatment of vegetable oils or animal fats (HVO).

Obama sets goal of reducing US oil imports by 1/3 by 2025; domestic and Western Hemisphere production, natural gas, biofuels, electric vehicles, fleet purchases

Green Car Congress

MARCH 30, 2011

Meeting the goal of cutting US oil dependence depends largely on two things, Obama said: finding and producing more oil at home, and reducing dependence on oil with cleaner alternative fuels and greater efficiency. In fact, the Air Force is aiming to get half of its domestic jet fuel from alternative sources by 2016.

Both rail and bus emissions decreased during this time, due in part to the state’s efforts to transition to cleaner fuels and to electrify public transportation. Other transportation-related findings include: As of the end of 2016, about half of all zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) ever sold in the US were bought in California.

APRIL 3, 2012

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is a process to capture carbon dioxide that would otherwise be emitted to the atmosphere by large point sources, such as fossil fuel power stations, and permanently to store the CO 2 deep underground. removing key barriers to the deployment of CCS for both the power and industrial sectors.

Though the PHEV combines the two types of energy and power, it is not merely a temporary “transition” between gasoline and diesel cars to pure electric cars. It solves the storage problems faced by the electric utility companies in absorbing and adapting to the highly variable power and energy generated by solar and wind. slow charge.
