Chevron USA kicked off a road trip across the US Gulf Coast to showcase an innovative new gasoline blend with more than 50% renewable content. During the tour, Chevron representatives will talk with members of the public about the benefits of lower carbon fuels such as biofuels and renewable gasoline blend.
An updated life cycle analysis of the carbon footprint of camelina-based biojet fuel found that the renewable fuel reduces greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 75% compared to traditional petroleum-based jet fuel, according to a study by researchers from Michigan Tech University (MTU), Targeted Growth and UOP LLC, a Honeywell company.
The LX1 is a series hybrid that incorporates a driveline that consists of electric drive motors mounted at the wheels, electric driven hydraulics, a battery energy storage system, a significantly smaller diesel engine (3-liter vs. 13-liter) and new machine architecture. The California Energy Commission (CEC) provided more than $1.8
Dynamotive Energy Systems Corporation has successfully produced renewable gasoline and diesel from biomass at its research facility in Waterloo Ontario through a novel two-stage upgrading process of its pyrolysis oil, BioOil. Dynamotive’s pyrolysis platform is availabletoday, with plants of 130 Mt and 200 Mt per day completed.
The switch from diesel will reduce carbon dioxide emissions from its internal goods transport by about 70%, the company said. By switching to ethanol, Scania is demonstrating that sustainable solutions can be achieved—here and now—with technology that is already availabletoday. Earlier post.).
Neste Oil will launch a completely new grade of diesel fuel in Finland this fall: Neste Pro Diesel. The new fuel is the first to comply with the most stringent diesel specification (Category 4) drawn up as part of the Worldwide Fuel Charter (WWFC) by automotive manufacturers in Europe, the US, and Asia. Properties.
With synthetic diesel fuels of the EN15940 standard, CO 2 emissions can be reduced by up to 100% compared to fossil diesel. Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO or renewablediesel), which is already commercially availabletoday, reduces CO 2 emissions by up to 90%.
The study was based on camelina grown in Montana by Sustainable Oils and processed into renewable jet and diesel fuels using UOP hydroprocessing technology. Camelina green diesel (GD) shows a 89.4% GHG reduction compared to petroleum diesel. Biodiesel exhibits savings of GHGs compared to petroleum diesel of 78.5%.
Molar carbon selectivities for different renewable petroleum refinery feedstocks obtained by hydrocycloaddition and hydrodeoxygenation of condensed furfural–acetone mixtures. These renewable feedstocks can be further processed in existing petroleum refineries to make common refinery products. Source: Olcay et al. Click to enlarge.
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced the final volume requirements under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) program today for the years 2014, 2015 and 2016, and final volume requirements for biomass-based diesel for 2014 to 2017. Final Renewable Fuel Volumes. Biomass-based diesel (billion gallons).
million investment in 2015) in Carbon Recycling International ( CRI ), an Icelandic company which produces renewable methanol using recycled CO 2 emissions sourced from a local thermal power plant and hydrogen made by splitting water with electrolysis (Power-to-Methanol). Geely is a shareholder ($45.5-million Earlier post.). It features a 1.8-liter,
Replacing diesel with hydrogen fuel eliminates vehicle tailpipe emissions. pounds per mile using hydrogen derived from solar, wind, or other renewable sources. Performance-wise, it meets the Daimler requirement of a three-to-four minute complete fill with a delivered gas temperature of -40 °C, the best availabletoday.
The field-tested solution, enabled by the patent-pending Pantograph In-Depot Equipment (PIDE) Canopy Mount, allows fleets to reduce the cost of EV charging while leveraging renewable electricity. Solar PPAs and managed charging can help fleet operators double-down on the cost savings that electric vehicles already deliver compared to diesel.
Two new studies from the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) and Transport & Environment (T&E) have suggested that advances in technology would enable battery-powered heavy trucks like the Tesla Semi to become cheaper to own and run compared to their petrol and diesel counterparts. Don’t hesitate to contact us for news tips.
The Alternative and Renewable Fuels and Vehicle Technology Program’s Investment Plan allocates $176 million over the next two years to stimulate green transportation projects and encourage innovation to help meet the state’s aggressive climate change policies. Vehicles are the major contributor to global warming pollution.
The 20 CNG fueled vehicles will now be added to the existing fleet of Ryder diesel-powered vehicles that already supports Postal Fleet Services’ mail distribution operations. service locations where Ryder has partnered with Clean Energy Fuels to offer renewable natural gas, the cleanest fuel availabletoday.
Today, the term “alternative” is used for all fuels that are not a part of the fossil fuel group—diesel, gasoline, heavy oil and kerosene. Truly sustainable fuels come from renewable sources, have no negative impact on the environment when they are burned and do not produce emissions of greenhouse gas.
of Natural Gas into Diesel Fuel. methane found in natural gas into liquid diesel fuel. lower cost than those availabletoday, based on a friction. This development will significantly reduce the time. required to engineer switchgrass to maximize biofuel production. University of. Washington. If successful, this technology.
Bio-CNG is a sustainable renewable fuel derived from waste and residual materials; its use can reduce CO2 emissions by up to 95% compared to a diesel engine and, if the gas is sourced from manure, could even achieve a negative carbon footprint of up to -120%.
to the point where gasoline and diesel consumption is reduced to 50% of 2011 levels). electricity supply cannot resemble the current fuel mix, but would have to be massively decarbonized; displacing the vast majority of fossil-fuel derived electricity with nuclear and renewable resources. Third, U.S.
The letter urged Olympics organizers to replace the Mirai with a battery-electric vehicle as the official car because EVs “represent the most effective way to decarbonize passenger transport” and that promotion of fuel-cell vehicles “ultimately risks distracting and delaying from the real solutions we have availabletoday.”
Around $176million will be invested over the next two years as the California Energy Commission adopts the Alternative and Renewable Fuels and Vehicle Technology Program’s Investment Plan to encourage innovation and meet the state’s climate change policies.
In recent testimony, Nuvve CEO Gregory Poilasne told the lawmakers that bidirectional charging can reduce the total cost of EV ownership, and that it’s essential for integrating more renewable energy into the grid. A handful of bidirectional-capable EVs are availabletoday, and automakers are quickly implementing the technology.
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. In fact, the PHEV is the only existing technology that acts as a vector for transitioning our society to exclusive use of renewable resources. It is much more than that.
For instance, they may have solar panels on their roof or could, via their utility, opt for energy from renewable sources. Of course, everything has its drawbacks and one problem with charging at home is that it is not an option available for some city dwellers. They have several stations already built and plan on thousands more.
The hybrid models availabletoday use lead-acid ornickel-metal hydride batteries that are are proven, reliable, and fairlycheap, but their limited storage capacity means that the cars’ driving rangeusing electricity alone is short. Electric cars remain dependent on the development of better,affordable batteries.
