ICL researchers develop new membrane-based system for cheap, efficiently made biofuels

Green Car Congress

Because they are expensive, biofuels are usually combined with petrol or diesel to make them ‘go further’. This project was funded by bp International Centre for Advanced Materials (bp ICAM). The application of this perstraction system to continuous production of a range of higher alcohols is explored and shown to be highly favourable.

Jaguar Land Rover investing $1.6M in two new Centers of Excellence for Engine Combustion Research at Oxford and University College London; gasoline and diesel

Green Car Congress

As there is no single solution to cleaner, greener vehicles, we are investing in the research and development of a range of technologies that potentially could help to improve future internal combustion and to develop alternative powertrains. We are on a very positive trajectory to reduce vehicle emissions and improve fuel economy.

EEA report suggests road charges for heavy-duty goods vehicles should reflect varied health effects of pollution in different countries

Green Car Congress

By incorporating these costs into the price of goods, we can encourage healthier transport methods and cleaner technologies. Diesel, used by most HGVs, causes more air pollution per kilometer than other fuels such as petrol. —Jacqueline McGlade, EEA Executive Director.

Emissions Analytics: mass adoption of hybrids, rather than low-volume BEVs most effective for cutting CO2 now, meeting 2030 targets; best use of limited resource

Green Car Congress

Using mild, full and plug-in hybrid real-world emissions test data from both European and US vehicles, Emissions Analytics compared hybrids with their internal combustion engine equivalents. It is, however, a false assertion that they are needed to fulfil this purpose. Molden outlined two potential paths that are immediately available.

Australian Cam-Drive Gasoline Engine Reaches 39.5% Efficiency in Independent Testing; Potential for Production Engine in China

Green Car Congress

Australia-based Revetec is designing what it calls the Controlled Combustion Engine (CCE)—a cam-drive gasoline spark-ignited internal combustion engine that is smaller, lighter, cleaner, less expensive to manufacture and that produces higher torque due to higher mechanical transfer than equivalent conventional engines.

OECD paper presents and analyzes policies and programs to foster market growth of green cars

Green Car Congress

Green cars” can be defined as vehicles that use alternative fuels (other than petrol or diesel) and/or alternative types of propulsion (other than the conventional ICE). unpriced environmental costs related to GHG emissions and air pollution) are not internalized by firms and households, there will be little demand for AFVs.
