Any forecast of future economic outcomes under the LCFS requires knowledge of the availability of alternativefuels at different market prices, the cost of producing each fuel, long-run trends in alternativefueling infrastructure, consumer preferences for alternativefuel and alternativefuel vehicles, as well as many other unknowns.
Dan Sperling, director of the Institute of Transportation Studies at UC Davis, and member of the California Air Resources Board, has been appointed the 2015 chair of the Transportation Research Board’s Executive Committee, which provides independent scientific advice to the nation on transportation issues.
LNG is a good alternative to petroleum-based fuel for long-haul delivery fleets as it is abundant and produces reduced emissions at less cost. We plan expansion through infrastructure partnerships and a broader fleet in states that are leading the way to make alternativefuel vehicles economically feasible.
The anaerobic digester system that will be used was developed as a pilot project at the University of California, Davis. The University of California, Davis, will receive $2,770,072 to research the comparative value, benefits and drawbacks of all types of alternativefuels in California. tmdgroup, Inc.
UPS Airlines CO 2 emissions per Available Ton Mile, historical and targeted. UPS has adopted a plan to cut the carbon emissions of its airline by an additional 20% by 2020 to 1.24 Jet A fuel is the leading source of UPS global enterprise CO 2 emissions at 52.6%, followed by diesel at 32.7%.

NO x emissions results of biodiesel, renewable, and GTL diesel fuel blends, and CARB diesel fuel for 2006 Cummins ISM. Blending GTL or renewable diesel fuels with various levels of biodiesel or by using di- tert -butyl peroxide (DTBP) can achieve NO x emissions neutrality with the CARB diesel, according to their results.
Aviation and marine transportation combined are responsible for approximately 5% of total GHG emissions in the United States and 3% globally and are among the fastest growing modes in the transportation sector. Under business-as-usual forecasts, CO 2 emissions from global aviation are estimated to grow 3.1%
University of California, Davis: $1 million to improve the accuracy of short-term forecasting of wind power production in the Tehachapi Wind Resources Area. AlternativeFuel and Vehicles. Also, $1 million to address solar energy forecasting for large-scale concentrating solar power and photovoltaic plants.
A team of transportation and policy experts from the University of California released a report to the California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA) outlining policy options to significantly reduce transportation-related fossil fuel demand and emissions. —“Driving California’s Transportation Emissions to Zero”.
Switching from diesel fuel to natural gas may hold advantages for the US heavy-duty trucking fleet, but more needs to be done to reach the full environmental benefits, according to a new white paper released by the Institute of Transportation Studies at the University of California, Davis, and Rice University.
It would also create fresh opportunities for new fuels to compete in the marketplace, save consumers money, reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector, and boost energy security. It does not include mandates for any particular fuel or technology and as such does not attempt to pick winners or losers.
The funding of this zero-emission private hire fleet follows the successful pay-per-mile funding of taxis that Zeti previously delivered in London using MEEF funds. —Jeff Davis, Director of Breathe. Eligible projects for MEEF include e-mobility, EV charging, alternativefuel stations and hydrogen fuel cells.

The uppermost line in each graph represents emissions under the business as usual (BAU) scenario. Olabisi et al. 2009) Click to enlarge. Olabisi et al. 2009) Click to enlarge. Olabisi et al.
Most recently, Toyota announced that its fuel cell sedan would also be available in the UK, USA, Germany and Denmark during the summer of 2015. FCEVs are a real opportunity to offer motoring consumers a zero tailpipe emissions yet practical solution. It’s time to debunk a number of myths.
Dr. Ken Kurani from the UC Davis Institute of Transportation Studies (ITS) presented results from the latest in a series of electric drive consumer studies seeking to learn from consumers whether or not PHEVs are a good idea. Our history with alternativefuels has been truly awful.” Tax the fuel.” Steven Plotkin.
While conventional gasoline-powered vehicles (sometimes called internal combustion engines (ICE)) run on gasoline that emits carbon monoxide and other gases into the environment, EVs burn fewer and cleaner emissions per mile. Department of Energy (DOE) AlternativeFuels Data Center - How Do Hybrid Electric Cars Work?
The facility is slated to produce nearly 5 million gallons of transportation fuel per year. Its benefits include the reduction of an estimated 32,000 tons of greenhouse gas emissions annually—roughly equivalent to the greenhouse gas emissions produced by 5,850 gasoline vehicles in a year. Motiv Power Systems, Inc.
Harmonizing fuel programs between state, federal, and foreign jurisdictions is useful to ensure the optimum reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Harmonization must not be achieved at the expense of actual GHG emissions or environmental considerations. The harmonization of LCFS programs is not without risks.
But I dont think that would contribute to the global environment, to reduce [global warming gas] emissions." ( Wall Street Journal ). Speech by Toyota President Katsuaki Watanabe ) 12/27/07 Toyota also said it was preparing to start mass producing lithium-ion batteries for low-emission vehicles.
and UC-Davis Emeritus and Catherine JJ DeMauro. The alternative-fuel car evolved to reduce exhaust emissions and other problems derived from burning fossil fuels. The average PHEV uses 1/10 th the amount of liquid fuel needed by a conventional car a year. by Professor Andrew Alfonso Frank.
Mark Delucchi at the Institute of Transportation Studies (ITS) at UC Davis is proposing a novel urban plan designed on two universally accessible but completely independent transportation networks: one for low-speed, lightweight modes (LLMs) of transportation and one for fast, heavy vehicles (FHVs). Mark Delucchi.
Neil Auerbach is a Managing Partner at Hudson Clean Energy Partners which is a global private equity firm investing in renewable power, alternativefuels, energy efficiency and storage. Grant Davis is a Managing Director at New York Life Investments. Davis gives the following synopsis: ” In 4Q 2008 the markets were frozen.
will become less common over the next 10-years and that a mix of alternativefuel vehicles including electric, biofuel, hydrogen and solar will and is now seeing tremendous market growth. In my mind – the Prius is not the benchmark, my Impala is because it significantly reduces emissions and oil dependency.
The California Air Resources Board's (CARB) monthly meeting today included the adoption of the State AlternativeFuel Plan. The analysis by the California Energy Commission (CEC) and CARB of the smorgasbord of non-petroleum alternatives was mandated by AB 1007. And quite a buffet it is. I couldn't agree more.
