California ARB considering four new low-carbon fuel pathways; Neste renewable diesel and sugarcane molasses ethanol

Green Car Congress

The CI of a fuel is determined by the sum of all greenhouse gas emissions associated with the production, transportation, processing and consumption of a fuel (its pathway). After the sugarcane has been crushed, all of the cane juice is sent to sugar production. The baseline CI value for gasoline is 95.86 g CO 2 e/MJ.

Ford unveils F-150 Lightning electric pickup; starting at $39,974; arriving in 2022

Green Car Congress

1 auto brand is going zero emissions with America’s favorite vehicle. It’s quicker than a Raptor, with standard 4x4 and independent rear suspension; a power frunk, enough juice to run your house for three days or power an awesome tailgate; and it will forever improve with over-the-air updates. America’s No.

PNAS study finds Vertimass CADO efficient way to convert ethanol to biohydrocarbons; 40 to 96% reduction in GHGs, based on feedstock

Green Car Congress

Increased oil prices or current production incentives make Vertimass fuel cost competitive, and CADO-derived hydrocarbon blendstocks pass on greenhouse gas emission reductions of the ethanol feedstock. Variations in the feedstock used to make ethanol and pathways used to convert it, yield different levels of GHG emissions.

ARB posts six new LCFS pathway applications for comment; new PFAD biodiesel approach

Green Car Congress

After the sugarcane has been crushed, the cane juice is filtered, treated with calcium hydroxide, decanted, and then sent to sugar production. When life cycle emissions due to land use change (LUC) are added to the WTT CI estimate, the final WTW CI for the Raizen COPI pathway is estimated to be 14.93 gCO 2 e/MJ fuel. gCO 2 e/MJ.
