In a vote on draft legislation , the European Parliament has backed a cap on the use of biofuels produced from starch-rich crops, sugars, oil and other crops grown on land and a speedy switchover to new biofuels from alternative sources such as seaweed and waste. —Nuša Urbancic, T&E’s clean fuels manager.

DME produces zero soot, zero sulfur oxides (SO x ), less NO x and also significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions compared to diesel (especially if made from biogas). Oberon Fuels has developed proprietary skid-mounted, small-scale production units produce DME from various feedstocks, such as biogas and natural gas. Earlier post.).

Recently, the Energy Resources Center made headlines by saying the EPA’s shift on the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) would equal adding 1 million more passenger vehicles on the road. It’s also a political lightning rod given the stagnation of fuel consumption matched with accelerating ethanol blending. by Doug Williams.

The objective of this AOI is to demonstrate and evaluate the performance and emissions systems of dual fuel heavy-duty vehicles equipped with engines capable of operation using a mixture of diesel fuel and gaseous fuels (natural gas, propane or natural gas derived fuels such as DME). Reduced reliance on petroleum.

Although adding carbon capture and storage (CCS) could reduce CO 2 emissions, the additional cost from implementing CCS makes CTL less attractive, the report finds. Researchers also examined whether CTL-conversion plants would use carbon capture and storage technology, which would lower greenhouse gas emissions but create an added cost.

The price of ethanol relative to gasoline and crude oil were key determinants of the relative costs of the various finished fuels. The study also found that reduced BOB volume (from displacement by ethanol) and lower BOB octane could (i) lower refinery CO 2 emissions (e.g., ? 3% for 98-RON E20, ? 3% for 98-RON E20, ? E10 95 RON ?

In a paper published in the journal Energy Policy , the team suggests that more effective policies would evaluate fuels at the refinery level, thereby creating incentives for GHG emissions to be lowered through competition as low GHG emission fuels have higher economic value to blenders. —Boies et al.

Other environmental implications of these emissions, such as ocean acidification, are also becoming increasingly apparent and worrisome. While fossil fuels will be used for as long as they can be easily and economically produced, it should also be clear that their amounts are finite and that they are increasingly depleted.
