Achieving Zero-Impact Emissions with a Gasoline Passenger Car

Carbonyl compound emissions from passenger cars fueled with methanol/gasoline blends.

Carbonyl compound emissions from two passenger cars fueled with different methanol/gasoline blends (M15 and M100) and operated with three-way catalytic converters (TWC) were investigated. The tests were performed on a chassis dynamometer with constant volume sampling over the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC). Carbonyls were trapped on dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH) cartridges. The hydrazones fo...

Real-world emissions of gasoline passenger cars in Macao and their correlation with driving conditions

Using a portable emissions measurement system, 16 gasoline passenger cars were tested on a fixed route consisting of different types of roads in Macao and the data were normalized with the vehicle-specific power bin method. The normalized HC, CO and NOX emission levels of the seven passenger car samples with model year older than 2000 were 3.19 ± 5.04, 14.59 ± 22.88, 2.57 ± 2.12 g/km, respectiv...

Impact of Methanol–Gasoline Fuel Blends on the Performance and Exhaust Emissions of a SI Engine

A Least-cost Approach to Reduce Co2-emissions in Passenger Car Transport: This Time Economics Will Kill the Electric Car

Reducing CO2 emissions (note that CO2 refers to CO2-equivalents) in road passenger car transport is a major objective of many governments world-wide. To meet this goal various types of policy strategies – fuel or registration taxes, promotion of biofuels, technical efficiency improvements of conventional cars as well as introduction of hybrid and battery electric vehicles (BEV) – are considered...
