that Chevron Corp. has paid $329,700 in penalties for self-disclosed violations of California’s reformulated gasoline regulations. Chevron supplied gasoline in violation of state regulations at its Montebello and Richmond terminals. In both cases oxygenate volume of the gasoline was about 11%. An estimated 3.75
Chevron USA Inc. has paid $422,500 in penalties for supplying gasoline and diesel fuel in violation of California regulations designed to protect air quality. Chevron agreed to pay the penalties as part of three separate settlements it reached with the California Air Resources Board (ARB). In all, 15.9 In all, 15.9
EPA’s Office of Transportation and Air Quality (OTAQ) developed MOVES; the emission modeling system estimates emissions for mobile sources at the national, county, and project level for criteria pollutants, greenhouse gases, and air toxics. The study … used an inappropriate fuel sample methodology designed in part by a Chevron consultant.
According to UAI, the EPA has published inaccurate data for years claiming that ethanol increases emissions, even though ethanol’s pollution reducing qualities have been demonstrated repeatedly. Adding insult to injury, BP, Chevron, and others with a clear incentive to limit ethanol were involved in the design of the fuel testing.
Fuel properties affect a number of combustion and engine properties, including ignition delay; knocking tendency; flame speeds; pollutant emissions; sooting tendency and particle size distributions; and density, viscosity and heating value. Gasoline components, including toluene, propylbenzene, ethyl benzene and xylene.
The study published in ES&T was funded by Chevron Energy Technology Company. Tighter sulfur specifications on gasoline and marine diesel fuel account for about 10%?20% Clients include government agencies, petroleum companies, automobile companies, chemical and biofuel companies, professional service firms and law firms.
In my rear view mirror I watched a Los Angeles Sheriff’s car pull out of the Chevron and turn on both its blue and red flashing lights to pursue me down Ventura Boulevard. Those cars are just as expensive and far far more polluting. Even I was surprised. It does zero to 60 in under 4 seconds, and it’s totally electric.&#.
We've seen it all in the press: electric cars are more polluting , less safe, require too much water , will electrocute rescuers after a crash, will spontaneously explode , and will kill the blind. It takes a sustained effort to sow confusion about the obvious benefits of electric cars.
Disneyland will replace gasoline vehicles at its Autopia ride with EVs in 2026, the Los Angeles Times confirmed this week. Disneyland will phase out the gasoline engines in its Autopia vehicles “within the next 30 months,” according to the Los Angeles Times. Since 2016, the attraction has been sponsored by Honda.
Until 2016, Autopia vehicles were noisy, polluting two-stroke engines. But the ride was sponsored by Chevron from 1998-2012, and that company is pretty dedicated to poisoning small children anyway, so it was apt. However, the cars still create exhaust, which is still poisonous to the children riding behind these polluting engines.
And late Thursday, Disney spokesperson Jessica Good told the LA Times that electrification “means fully electric — it does not mean hybrid or any other version of a gasoline combustion engine,” and that the park “will no longer be using the current engines within the next 30 months.”
One thing is for sure; - electric cars bring down the air pollution, but they sure create another waste pollution problem. April 10, 2009 2:28 pm Link Nothing pollutes more than the tailpipe of a internal combustion engine car. Gasoline is burnt up and gone forever into the atmosphere and into our lungs.
It is reminiscent of the early 1900’s, when steam, electric, diesel, biomass, and gasoline power options competed on a level playing field for consumers’ attention. In the end, gasoline won out because it was the cheapest and delivered the most energy per unit, but it took 20 years to sort out. The bottleneck is infrastructure.
When the link between gasoline-burning vehicles and smog was discovered, California was building its own clean air rules at the same time as the federal government was. Ever since the 1960s, California has been able to set its own clean air rules, as long as they are at least as strict as federal clean air rules.
