Study finds GHG emissions from corn ethanol now 46% lower than gasoline

Green Car Congress

A new study by a team from Environmental Health & Engineering (EH&E) has found that greenhouse gas emissions from corn ethanol are 46% lower than those from gasoline—a decrease in emissions from the estimated 39% done by previous modeling. gCO 2 e/MJ) which is 46% lower than the average carbon intensity for neat gasoline.

NREL study finds high-pressure hydrogen pipeline system could potentially make hydrogen cost-competitive with gasoline

Green Car Congress

A new study by a team at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) concludes that a high-pressure, scalable, intra-city hydrogen pipeline system could improve the economics and logistics of hydrogen delivery, making it potentially cost-competitive with gasoline. kg—approximately equivalent to a gasoline cost of $2.7/gal

INFINITI says new gasoline-generated EV system (Nissan e-POWER) central to electrification strategy

Green Car Congress

These include fully-electric systems, as well as a gasoline-generated EV system (known as e-POWER at Nissan, earlier post ) in which a gasoline engine generates electrical power stored in a battery (series hybrid), which can then be delivered to all four wheels through a pair of high-output electric motors. Earlier post.)

LowCVP LCA study finds matching battery size with vehicle use is crucial for the environment

Green Car Congress

For a medium-sized passenger car, embedded emissions are typically 5-8 tCO 2 e for gasoline ICE, and 6-16 tCO 2 e for BEV, depending on size of battery pack and assumed production emissions factor. A follow-up project—“ Life cycle CO 2 e assessment of low carbon cars 2020-30 ”—was completed in 2013 by PE International.
