Delaware will join 13 other states in adopting California’s Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) regulations. Managed by the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control ( DNREC ), the ZEV program is designed to accelerate the commercialization of battery-electric, plug-in hybrid and fuel cell electric vehicles.

Burton Abrams and George Parsons of the University of Delaware evaluated the efficiency of the recently concluded Cash for Clunkers (CARS) program and concluded that the cost exceeds the benefit by approximately $2,000 per vehicle, or close to $1.4 per gallon for CO 2 and criteria pollutant costs (Jason Hill et al. billion in total.

A recently released total fuel cycle analysis for maritime case studies shows that natural gas fuels reduce some air quality pollutants substantially, and reduce major greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions slightly, when compared to conventional petroleum-based marine fuels (low-sulfur and high-sulfur). This is an important consideration.

University of Delaware researchers have identified an algae— Heterosigma akashiwo —that grows rapidly on a gas mixture that has the same carbon dioxide and nitric oxide (NO) content as emissions released from a power plant. That alone could save up to 45% of the required energy input to grow algae for biofuels, Coyne said.

This brief study analyses, for each individual state, the changes from 2008 to 2018 in the use of coal (one of the two most polluting energy sources) to generate electricity. On the two extremes, coal and oil result in about 176 times the emissions from hydro.

By replacing older, polluting engines with new technologies, the projects over their lifetimes are expected to prevent emission of 503 tons of nitrogen oxides (NO x ), 130 tons of carbon monoxide, 238 tons of carbon dioxide, 59 tons of hydrocarbons, 30 tons of fine particulate matter, and a half-ton of coarse particulate matter.
