Book Special Report Office of Mobile Sources Analysis of the Economic and Environmental Effects of Compressed Barrel Gas As a Vehicle Fuel

Download or read book Special Report Office of Mobile Sources Analysis of the Economic and Environmental Effects of Compressed Barrel Gas As a Vehicle Fuel written by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and published by BiblioGov. This book was released on 2013-11 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was introduced on December 2, 1970 by President Richard Nixon. The agency is charged with protecting human health and the environment, by writing and enforcing regulations based on laws passed by Congress. The EPA's struggle to protect health and the environment is seen through each of its official publications. These publications outline new policies, detail problems with enforcing laws, document the need for new legislation, and describe new tactics to use to solve these issues. This collection of publications ranges from historic documents to reports released in the new millennium, and features works like: Bicycle for a Better Environment, Health Effects of Increasing Sulfur Oxides Emissions Draft, and Women and Environmental Health.

Book Natural Gas Vehicles in the US

Download or read book Natural Gas Vehicles in the US written by Alisa Puchkova and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis explores economic and environmental benefits generated by natural gas use in transportation. The analysis of natural gas vehicles and compressed natural gas markets is performed for the US and worldwide with an emphasis on the leaders in the industry. The US market is analyzed in detail to report current state of technology and fueling infrastructure countrywide. Vehicles and equipment supply, prices, and performance are reported to acknowledge the reader and to contrast the US NGV market with other markets worldwide. Also, prices of the natural gas technology are being discussed to explain principal differences and uniqueness of the market particularly in the US compared with other nations. The thesis analyzes emissions impact of natural gas in comparison to other alternative fuels available on the market. To reveal hidden costs of energy, a life-cycle emission approach is used to quantify emissions starting from a stage of fuel extraction up to a stage of fuel processing in a vehicle. The GREET model is used to quantify of greenhouse gases and criteria pollutants for variety of fuels, including natural gas, electricity, hydrogen, biodiesel, etc., using cleanest fuel production pathways. The thesis also includes the relative emissions of natural gas compared to other alternative and conventional fuels. This work summarizes practical experience gained by successful NGV users and applies this information to perform a cost-benefit analysis for seven actual fleets operating in Wyoming. A major objective of the cost-benefit analysis is to emphasize the diversity of applications where natural gas provides significant fuel cost and environmental benefits and to provide examples when natural gas fails to succeed due to low benefits and high costs. This analysis shows that there is no general rule that could be applied to all fleets; rather, each case needs to be analyzed separately to identify fleet-specific costs and benefits. Results of the analysis support earlier findings that heavy-duty fleets, such as transit buses, heavy-duty trucks, refuse collection fleets, and school buses remain the best candidates for natural gas conversion due to a low fuel economy, and moderately big annual mileage.

Book Economic Implications of Natural Gas Vehicle Technology in U S  Private Automobile Transportation

Download or read book Economic Implications of Natural Gas Vehicle Technology in U S Private Automobile Transportation written by Oghenerume Christopher Kragha and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transportation represents almost 28 percent of the United States' energy demand. Approximately 95 percent of U.S. transportation utilizes petroleum, the majority of which is imported. With significant domestic conventional gas resources, optimistic projections of unconventional natural gas resources, and the growing international liquefied natural gas (LNG) market, gas prices are expected to remain lower than oil. While natural gas currently provides approximately 24 percent of the United States' energy consumption, there has been no significant growth in the natural gas vehicle market in the past fifteen years. Natural gas has comparative environmental advantages to gasoline and diesel, with lower CO2 emissions per mega joule of fuel consumption. A natural gas powered vehicle fleet could reduce the country's fuel costs, dependence on imported fuel, and greenhouse gas emissions. To fully comprehend the future role of natural gas vehicles in the United States, all the major technological and market forces affecting the successful deployment of this vehicle technology must be analyzed interdependently under market and energy policy-regulated scenarios. I investigate the potential role of natural gas in transportation using a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model of the global economy that is resolved for the US and other major countries and regions. To do so, I add a dedicated compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicle option to the Emissions Prediction and Policy Analysis (EPPA) Model as an option to the conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle. The model projects changing prices of fuel and other goods over time, given specification of resource availabilities. With the CNG vehicle specification I am able to evaluate the effect of the CNG option on transportation emissions, oil imports, natural gas use, and other economic indicators. I consider different policy scenarios for the future, including the adoption of a targeted emissions cap policy to see how that affects the competitiveness of CNG vehicles. Several conclusions about the potential role of nature gas vehicles in the United States are drawn from this analysis. First, NG vehicles will reduce household transportation emissions in proportion to their share of the vehicle fleet. Second, stringent emissions policies will stimulate the penetration of natural gas vehicles, but high vehicle costs and infrastructure may hinder their deployment. There is a correlation between increased NG vehicle use and the reduction of oil imports. In the long term, development of cleaner alternative fuels with similar infrastructure to gasoline may hamper CNG vehicle growth.
