Along with the Energy Commission grant, Mission Motor Company will provide match funding of $623,581 to create an assembly facility in downtown San Francisco that should be capable of producing 30,000 battery packs and motor control systems each year by 2015, creating as many as 100 jobs. Natural gas-powered vehicle fueling.
The new all-electric trucks will operate from distribution centers located throughout California: Alameda, City of Industry, La Mirada, Manteca, San Diego, SanJose and Torrance. In the US, Frito-Lay hopes to reduce its total fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions by 50 pe%ent by 2020, compared to a 2007 baseline.
Dispensed from Chevron terminals in Sacramento and SanJose, the fuel did not contain adequate amounts of ethanol. Higher levels of olefin mean more smog will be formed from tailpipe emissions since hydrocarbons, including olefin, react with sunlight and other pollutants to form smog.
Each location is regularly supplied with Neste MY Renewable Diesel, a low-carbon fuel produced from 100% renewable and sustainable raw materials that cuts greenhouse gas emissions by up to 80% compared to petroleum diesel. The four new fueling stations join existing Neste-branded fuel stations in San Leandro, SanJose, Keyes and Ripon.
The program funds projects to encourage the development and use of new technologies and alternative and renewable fuels, including electricity, natural gas, biomethane, hydrogen, and gasoline and diesel substitutes, such as cellulosic ethanol (derived from woody materials, including agricultural waste), and biodiesel from waste grease.
The survey results show that very low support levels for a one-time gas-tax increase or a new mileage tax can be raised by modifying how the tax is structured and the way it is described. As another example, 62% of respondents would support a gas tax increase of $0.10 per gallon gas-tax increase with no additional information given.
Members of REVI will include San Diego County; the Cities of Carlsbad, Chula Vista, Coronado, Del Mar, Escondido, San Diego, and Solana Beach; and three regional public agencies including the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority, the San Diego Air Pollution Control District, and the San Diego Unified Port District.
For the current fiscal year, 2012-2013, the program is slated to invest approximately $90 million to encourage the development and use of new technologies and alternative and renewable fuels, with the goals of reducing petroleum dependence, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and improving air quality. Valley Garbage and Rubbish Co.,
Funding comes from DOE’s Clean Cities Program, designed to assist the development of alternative fuel technologies, leading to decreased greenhouse gas emissions and reduced petroleum use in the transportation sector. Only about 5% have considered such issues because of limited staff resources and lack of public demand.
The project will divert approximately 550,000 metric tons of waste that otherwise would go to a landfill while producing jet fuel with lower emissions of greenhouse gases and local pollutants than petroleum-based fuels. Earlier post.). The third step upgrades the FT products into jet fuel.
City of San José – Department of Transportation (SanJose, CA) will partner with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory to develop a quasi-dynamic traffic assignment model that reduces compute times of from days to hours for a metropolitan area. Praxair Inc., a member of the Linde group - Praxair, Inc. HPC for Mobility.
utilizing these ideas and instructions in an attempting to enhance national security, reduce gas consumption, vehicle "emissions", your carbon footprint, or smog, you do so at your own risk & peril. However they also retain the ability to travel long distances when utilizing the existing gas or diesel refueling infrastructure.
The objections they raised for years -- "no one is interested, no one would plug in, the technology is too complex, the benefits are minimal, its just shifting the pollution from the tailpipe to the smokestack, theres no demand for these cars" -- still show up occasionally, but are by and large history. SanJose Mercury News ).
Furthermore, air and water pollution, deforestation, and soil degradation are causing significant harm. Air pollution kills about 7 million people annually, with 99 percent of the global population breathing unhealthy air, according to the World Health Organization. This years event is scheduled for 19 and 20 August in SanJose, Calif.
