The fuel cells will also produce a net 2.3
less efficient and more polluting. Vision says that the Tyrano is 35% cheaper to operate than current diesel powered trucks and 50% cheaper than liquefied natural gas. Initial units will be used to complete testing and demonstration of the Tyrano the vehicles in and around the Port of Los Angeles and Port of LongBeach.
Toyota Transport, the automaker’s in-house vehicle transportation trucking company, is using its first car hauler that runs on Compressed Natural Gas (CNG). The LongBeach, CA-based truck/trailer emits 85% less overall particulate matter and 10% less carbon dioxide than its diesel counterparts.
The California Energy Commission awarded more than $24 million in grants today for clean energy freight transportation projects in Los Angeles and LongBeach and more than $12 million for other clean transportation projects. Several other ARFVTP-funded projects were also approved.
This will divert 100 tons per day of food waste from landfills and use that to produce enough renewable natural gas to replace 566,000 gallons of diesel fuel and generate 3.17 The ethanol will be mixed with conventional gasoline for a lower-carbon, less-polluting fuel. tmdgroup, Inc. tmdgroup is based in Sacramento. Aemetis, Inc.
The ports of Los Angeles and LongBeach released the draft of their proposed 2017 C lean Air Action Plan (CAAP) Update. The 2017 CAAP sets new clean air goals focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions 40% below 1990 levels by 2030 and 80% below 1990 levels by 2050.
The 2009 incentives will be used to help bring trucks into service at the Port that run on Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), or lithium-ion battery electric power.
