The states of Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, North Dakota, and South Dakota filed an amicus brief in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals opposing enforcement of California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS). Billion in ethanol sales from Nebraska alone, and untold billions across the Midwest. Earlier post.).
With more than 17 million vehicles on the road worldwide, propane autogas is the third most commonly used transportation fuel, behind gasoline and diesel. On board the buses, noise levels are decreased by 50 percent when compared to diesel counterparts, giving drivers fewer distractions.
Fuel ethanol is used as an oxygenate in gasoline and to produce E-85 fuel. Other Midwestern states that produced more than one billion gallons were Nebraska, Illinois, Minnesota, Indiana, and South Dakota. In 2018, Iowa produced 4.21 In all, twenty-five states produced fuel ethanol in 2018.
a leading producer, marketer and supplier of ethanol, announced its first BNSF unit-train shipment of ethanol produced at its two ethanol facilities in Aurora, Nebraska. The unit train pulled out of Aurora heading to Birmingham, Alabama where the ethanol will be blended in gasoline to enhance octane. Aventine Renewable Energy Inc.,
A team at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln has investigated the long-term adaptability and economic feasibility of non-flex-fuel vehicles—vehicles designed to use fuel blends containing 85% ethanol (E85) or less—to consume a 30% ethanol (E30) fuel blend.
E15 blended gasoline is now available in four of North Dakota’s larger cities. North Dakota is the ninth state to offer the fuel blend containing 15% ethanol and 85% gasoline. The others are Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Nebraska, North Carolina, South Dakota, and Wisconsin.
million Valicor corn-oil separation system (COSS) at its Nebraska Energy LLC plant in Aurora, Nebraska. High production levels and excess inventories nationally have led to tight margins, particularly in Nebraska. Aventine Renewable Energy Inc. has installed a $2.4-million The system began operations in early January.
Earlier this summer, the EPA approved a rule that allows the year-round sales of gasoline blends containing 15% ethanol. of Nebraska and the chain of Jump Start stores have pumps would be affected. The Urban Air Initiative (UAI) and National Farmers Union (NFU) are leading the alliance. —NFU President Roger Johnson.
The joint venture—Duonix, LLC—is actively developing the first project, which is a retrofit of the 50-million-gallon-per-year facility in Beatrice, Nebraska. Benefuel and FHR have an exclusive agreement to develop and operate US-based biodiesel projects using Benefuel’s ENSEL technology.
A study published earlier this year in the journal Nature Climate Change that cast doubt on whether biofuels produced from corn residue could meet federal mandates for cellulosic biofuels to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 60% compared to gasoline ( earlier post ) has drawn critical response published as correspondence in the same journal.
to 335 L/vehicle kilometer traveled (VKT) for Iowa and from 59 to 214 L/VKT for Nebraska. Water is required for crude oil recovery by water flooding, enhanced oil recovery via steam injection, and steam extraction of bitumen from oil sands and during refining of crude oil to produce gasoline. and from 0.29 L/VKT, respectively.
Using corn crop residue to make ethanol and other biofuels reduces soil carbon and under some conditions can generate more greenhouse gases than gasoline, according to a major, multi-year study by a University of Nebraska-Lincoln team of researchers published in the journal Nature Climate Change. The uncompressed input data totalled ?3
The 21 states participating in the BIP include Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.
The two-year contract extension is for an estimated 5 million gasoline gallon equivalents (GGEs) per year and is valued at over $10 million. Clean Energy announced that fueling has begun at a new public station in North Platte, Nebraska, which will service vehicles from KALM Transportation, UPS and Schmidt Liquid Transportation.
The Urban Air Initiative (UAI), the Energy Future Coalition and the states of Kansas and Nebraska have petitioned the US Environmental Protection Agency to correct what they call the agency’s flawed models that limit the use of higher blends of ethanol. For example: Octane ratings. AKI compared to the market average 88.3
In addition to financial issues, such as where incentives are available and how much driving electric will save you compared to filling up with gasoline, the deciding factor for ranking the states was the density of available public charging. They used the same metrics to derive the 10 worst states. California. Rhode Island. Connecticut.
This project will develop a technology based on a novel catalyst that will enable dilute olefins from ROG to be converted to high-octane alkylate, resulting in recovery of up to 45 million barrels per year of gasoline. DOE grant: $6,733,383). High Energy Permanent Magnets for Hybrid Vehicles and Alternative Energy. DOE grant: $1,000,000).
The current line-up, a combination of gasoline-powered and battery electric sedans and SUVs, will be all-electric in 2030. In this time Genesis went from being a model in the Hyundai line-up to becoming a car company on its own.
Nebraska – Lincoln). Northeastern University. Arnold Magnetic. Technologies. Corporation, Columbia. University, General. Motors Research and. Development, University of. Massachusetts. Amherst, University of. Multiscale Development of L10 Materials for Rare-Earth-Free. create bulk quantities of iron and nickel in a unique crystal.
Among the projects to benefit are an effort to develop new metal-air batteries using advanced ionic liquids with 6-20 times the energy density of lithium-ion batteries at just one third of the cost; and a project to produce a flow of gasoline directly from sunlight and CO2 using a symbiotic system of two organisms.
Distinct Exterior Slippery luxury Sharing a platform with the gasoline-powered GV70 , Genesis engineers were able to use the same platform for both power plants without sacrificing interior space for people or cargo. Observations: 2024 Genesis GV70 EV AWD Genesis started production of the GV70 EV in Montgomery, Alabama, in February 2023.
If you’re in Nebraska or California , you’re probably paying a lot less or a lot more, respectively. Fueling an internal combustion car : The average cost of gasoline in the U.S. Charging an e-bike has a much lower carbon footprint compared to fueling a car with gasoline. kWh × $0.16 per kWh = $0.08 cents per mile. per gallon.
Although much cheaper than putting gasoline into a ICE car, charging an EV is not necessarily free. With the rise of EVs, there’s a shift toward kWh-based pricing , which aligns more closely with the conventional model of gasoline refueling. 6, supplemental or substitute forms of gas sources as defined in § 56-248.1,
The US Department of State (DOS) has released its Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) in response to TransCanada’s May 2012 application for the Keystone XL pipeline that would run from Canada’s oils sands in Alberta to Nebraska. The pending application proposes a new route through Nebraska. Source: Draft SEIS.
The last time a production model of an electric car had traveled from coast to coast was in 1998, when an EV-1 made the journey without consuming an ounce of gasoline. Mr. Moore made available his Papillion home’s historic dryer outlet as a recharging site when the roadtrip reached the vicinity of Omaha, Nebraska.
The proposed route evaluated differs from the route analyzed in the 2011 Final Environmental Impact Statement in that it would avoid the environmentally sensitive Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality (NDEQ)-identified Sand Hills Region and no longer includes a southern segment from Cushing, Oklahoma, to the Gulf Coast area.
If all gasoline cars, trucks, and SUVs instead had plug-in electric drive trains, the amount of electricity needed to replace gasoline is about equal to the estimated wind energy potential of the state of North Dakota. By the way Boones plan covers: Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, and North Dakota. per barrel.
That fueled a leasing boom for EVs over the past couple years, allowing automakers to offer attractive lease prices that in many instances undercut those of hybrids or other gasoline models, and allowing shoppers to bypass stricter rules about income and vehicle origins that applied to purchases.
