Researchers at Iowa State University are proposing dissolving waste polystyrene (PS) in biodiesel for use as a diesel engine fuel as a mechanism for energy recovery from the waste plastic. Using polystyrene as a fuel in diesel engines is one possible option for energy recovery from these waste plastics. Credit: ACS.

From Resource-Media: Much as one would weigh the pros and cons of a two-wheel-drive vehicle on snow or a diesel truck in extreme cold, consumers should consider an EV’s cold-weather hardiness when shopping. Plug-in hybrids can mitigate cold weather concerns as they are also gas-powered for extended range.

One negative side effect of a lean burn engine, whether powered by gasoline or diesel fuel, is an increase in the amount of emissions released to the environment. The hydrogen causes the fuel to burn more completely, resulting in greater fuel efficiency, less emissions, and more power.

The contribution of biomass-based diesel to the 21 billion gallon goal can be no less than 1 billion gallons and will be determined at a later date by rulemaking. An additional 4 billion gallons of advanced biofuels (defined by the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by at least 50%) by 2022 is also mandated. Central East.

Harmonizing fuel programs between state, federal, and foreign jurisdictions is useful to ensure the optimum reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Harmonization must not be achieved at the expense of actual GHG emissions or environmental considerations. The harmonization of LCFS programs is not without risks.
