Five technology paths for very-low-NO x and GHG emissions from heavy-duty natural gas engines. The “Pathways to Near-Zero-Emission Natural Gas Heavy Duty Vehicles” report, authored by GNA on behalf of Southern California Gas Co. California’s Climate Protection Strategies do not help meet NAAQS Standards.

In the first step, an novel high-temperature technology will process natural gas to obtain hydrogen and carbon. In a subsequent catalytic process step, the hydrogen is then reacted with large volumes of CO 2 , also from other industrial processes, to produce syngas.

As part of the publicly funded Enerport II project, Duisport, one of the world’s largest inland ports, will commission a new terminal with a hydrogen-based supply network during 2024. In the future, most of the electrical and thermal energy required in the port will be generated directly on site from hydrogen in a CO 2 -neutral manner.

HyIron, with the support of the state of Lower Saxony, has commissioned what it says is the world’s largest direct reduction plant for green iron on the site of RWE’s Emsland gas-fired power plant. At the plant, iron ore will be reduced solely with the aid of green hydrogen. Airtight rotary kiln for iron reduction.

Preliminary estimates from fuel cycle analyses suggest that a switch to heavy oil and tar sands could increase the greenhouse gas emission intensity of petroleum energy by as much as 17-40%, with oil extraction and processing rather than tailpipe emissions accounting for the increment. —Karras 2010.

John DeCicco at the University of Michigan argues that to reduce transportation sector greenhouse gas emissions, the proper policy focus should be upstream in sectors that provide the fuel, rather than downstream on the choice of fuels in the automobile. —“Factor Analysis of Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Automobiles”.

The Federal and state governments also expect the manufacturers to use self-financed competitive measures to provide incentives for the change of pre-Euro-5 diesel vehicles to vehicles with the latest exhaust gas aftertreatment or electric vehicles. In this sense, modern and clean diesel technology can also contribute to climate protection.

By addressing greenhouse-gas emissions, these rules complement a December 2022 rule from the EPA that addresses smog- and soot-forming emissions from heavy-duty vehicles. At the time, the EPA said those rules were 80% tougher than the previous ruleset, which dated back 20 years.
