It is the declared intention of CARB not to ban or restrict diesel fuel per se, at this time. Assuming no total ban, Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) explored two feasible mid-course strategies, each of which results in some degree of (conventional) diesel displacement. In the first case,...

which is obtained by transesterification of vegetable oil using ethyl alcohol. It is often used in a blended form, along with normal diesel. Currently, it is mostly used as a diesel fuel additive. This blending of biodiesel with normal diesel, reduces emission of pollutants. It has...
The transport industry is a key drive of fossil fuel consumption, with the average motorist spending around £1000 per year on petrol cars and £1250 per year on diesel cars. The EV revolution is set to slash consumption, with battery-powered engines offering an eco-friendly alter...

Brian Smith, Volvo truck manager for Great Britain and Ireland, took delegates through the company's policy on hybrid ...
(cover story)The article discusses alternative-fuel vehicles (AFVs), examining the costs and benefits associated with types of vehicles including hybrid, clean-diesel, and electric automobiles. The article looks at the use of AFVs by business owners, examining tax incentives for AFVs, the growth...
China has a fleet of methanol taxis where the fuel is half the cost of gasoline. The Dutch are making bio-methanol from glycerin, which is a by-product from bio-diesel production Iceland is producing methanol from excess CO2which is being used to supplement gasoline. ...
When choosing between LNG and CNG as an alternative truck fuel, consider many factors, including vehicle type and application and fleet fueling needs.
The market share of diesel cars had been driven by their superior fuel economy, fuel taxation that favored diesel, and by climate change policies that relied on diesel fuel. The light-duty diesel penetration data in Figure 2 is close to its all-time high—the market share of light-duty ...
Overall, fuel cells indicated the greatest fuel energy savings and emission reductions. Gas turbines and combined cycles indicted high overall annual cost savings. Steam turbines and gas turbines produced high estimated returns. In some applications, diesels were most efficient. The advanced technologies...
