Among the many policy and funding details in the UK Plan for Tackling Roadside Nitrogen Dioxide Concentrations , produced by Defra and the Department for Transport is the cessation of the sale of all new conventional gasoline and diesel cars by 2040. —UK plan for tackling roadside nitrogen dioxide. billion (US$3.5 billion (US$3.5
New York City and Long Island today instituted temporary fuel rationing, with drivers only allowed to buy gasoline on alternate days. Starting at 6 am tomorrow, vehicles with odd numbers on their license plates can buy fuel on odd-numbered days; even numbers can buy on even-numbered days.
The Board also adopted a regulation governing alternative diesel fuels ( ADF ). The regulation puts in place a three-step process beginning in 2016 to create a path to bring cleaner diesel substitutes into the market. Gasoline and Gasoline Substitutes. Diesel and Diesel Substitutes. Alternative Diesel Fuels.
California’s original approach to heavy carbon oils resulted in a legal challenge that is still pending; the EU’s adoption of a similar approach has resulted in protracted discussion and negotiation with Canada that has yet to be resolved, either.). Create separate fuel pools for gasoline and diesel.
Meanwhile, legal and financial barriers for installing home charging devices should be reduced. Fleet managers should limit the available budget for gasoline or diesel and instead offer employees the option to re-charge plug-in hybrid vehicles easily and at low cost. —ICCT Director Dr. Peter Mock.
E-fuels are made by combining green hydrogen with CO 2 to produce liquid fuel that can be similar to gasoline or diesel used in conventional engines (as well as kerosene used in aviation). The emissions were compared to the standard E10 EU gasoline. Even with the use of 100% e-gasoline blends, at least 2.2 aromatics).
BASF has completed the carve-out of its mobile emissions catalysts and precious metal services businesses and named the separate legal entity BASF Environmental Catalyst and Metal Solutions (ECMS).

Four separate percentage standards are required under the RFS program: cellulosic biofuel; biomass-based diesel; advanced biofuel; and total renewable fuels. Cellulosic biofuel and biomass-based diesel categories are nested within advanced biofuel, which is itself nested within the total renewable fuel category. Earlier post.).
As a result, it has a carbon footprint more than 30% lower than gasoline manufactured entirely from petroleum. It not only maintains the same high-octane rating required by the DTM, but also meets the requirements of the legal fuel norm, DIN EN 228. Obviously, electric mobility plays a major role in this context. earlier post ).
The vehicles were chosen to be representative of the different segments of the European market; 12 were gasoline-fueled, and 9 were diesel-fueled. Measured THC emissions from most vehicles stayed below the legal emission limits and in general were lower under the WLTP compared to NEDC. kW (143 hp). (As
The powertrain range of the new Golf features gasoline (TSI); diesel (TDI); natural gas (TGI); mild hybrid (eTSI); and plug-in hybrid drives (eHybrid). All gasoline and diesel engines are turbocharged direct injection units. Consumption of the new TDI diesel is up to 17% lower than that of its predecessor.
Some diesel cars that meet the latest Euro 6 standards in reality release more NO x than a modern heavy duty truck. Zurich remote sensing data shows a wide disparity between petrol and diesel car NO x emissions, and substantial noncompliance by diesel cars. Earlier post.). Source: The ICCT. Click to enlarge. Earlier post.).
Hydrogen fueling is more complex than that of gasoline and diesel; hydrogen heats up as it expands, causing pressure and temperature changes during fueling that need to be precisely monitored. In response to this challenge, Heinrichs Messtechnik GmbH, a member of the Kobold Group, has developed the TMU-W 004 mass flow meter.
The revised statutory requirements establish new specific annual volume standards for cellulosic biofuel, biomass-based diesel, advanced biofuel, and total renewable fuel that must be used in transportation fuel. million gallons (mg), or 0.004% of total fuel; and the biomass-based diesel standard is being set at 1.15 Renewable fuel.
