New study shows lower carbon fuels in light duty vehicles reduce GHG emissions faster than new EPA standards

July 1, 2024 | Meghan Sapp

In Washington, increased use of lower-carbon liquid fuels in light-duty vehicles would lead to larger and faster reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions than EPA’s recently finalized EV-forcing tailpipe emissions standards, according to a new study commissioned by the RFA and executed by an independent not-for-profit research institute. The study also found that if automakers rely primarily on […]

NREL says colocating biocrude facilities with existing refineres can cut GHG emissions 150%

June 10, 2024 | Meghan Sapp

In Colorado, NREL says building biocrude facilities next to existing refineries—instead of closer to biomass sources—can lower GHG emissions by as much as 150% depending on the exact infrastructure design. That is a striking reduction in emissions, and the researchers detail how industry engineers might achieve it with smart designs that let the facilities share […]
