Standard ERCs (including CEIP ERCs) can be used at both combustion turbine (NGCC) units and fossil steam (coal) units to reduce their
overall emission performance rate.
The DCT offers up to a 17 % improvement in fuel consumption and CO2
emissions performance compared with that of a conventional automatic transmission — i.e.,... Read more →
It also boasts a symmetrical independent intake and exhaust manifold system with twin high - performance turbochargers; a secondary air management system for improved cold -
start emissions performance; a thermostatically controlled oil - cooling system; an oil scavenger pump to maintain oil flowing to the turbochargers; and a lateral wet and dry sump oiling system.
Through its pursuit of ideal combustion using engineering innovation, Mazda has achieved not only
outstanding emissions performance, but also excellent fuel economy and ample torque equal to a 4 - liter V8 gasoline engine.
It was discovered [25] that vehicle manufacturers would
optimise emissions performance only for the test cycle, whilst emissions from typical driving conditions proved to be much higher than when tested.
The method by which the bank will stop financing coal power is not an outright ban on such projects, but a
new Emissions Performance Target.
On the other hand, if two states each choose the R2 compliance approach, they may only trade ERCs if they first coordinate with each other to establish a common state -
average emission performance rate that represents the weighted average of both states» fossil steam and combustion turbine generation and submit a joint compliance plan.
First, Alberta will adopt an oil sands
specific emission performance standard with a $ 30 / tonne carbon price applied to any additional emissions.
The decision has one down - side that the electricity market reform will have to resolve: by dropping the CCS levy on consumers and committing to taxpayer funding, it reduces the incentive of the existing power companies to engage with CCS, and reinforces the need for a
strong emissions performance standard to ensure they have clarity about the low carbon direction of the electricity market.
The BlueDIRECT four - cylinder petrol engines of the C - Class combine spontaneous response and exemplary power delivery with high efficiency and best - in -
class emission performance.
A cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system enables improved fuel economy and
emissions performance at higher loads.
Backed by a Cummins Factory Warranty and supported by Cummins Service Network, the ISL G NZ offers
low emission performance and efficiency with engine ratings from 250 - 320 horsepower, and 660 - 1,000 lb - ft torque available.
Improved combustion efficiency and
emissions performance due to a newly adopted two - stage turbocharger, ultra-high pressure common - rail system, highly efficient exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), and an exhaust pipe fuel injection system.
The number of ERCs each NGCC can produce is based on a complex combination of factors, including how much better the NGCC unit's emission rate is compared to the national fossil
steam emission performance rate, the distribution of the total possible incremental generation across all NGCC units, and the total net energy output from the NGCC unit in the year for which ERCs are being calculated.
EPA's
subcategorized emission performance rates are the foundation upon which each of the above options is built and were determined by EPA to represent the improvement possible using the best system of emission reductions (BSER).
He quotes a study, Food Miles — Comparative Energy /
Emissions Performance of New Zealand's Agriculture Industry and writes:
Examples are
emissions performance standards in Canada and the United Kingdom for power generation capacity additions as well as the carbon price support in the United Kingdom.
A new 1.8 - liter SKYACTIV - D diesel engine improves efficiency and
emissions performance in common driving situations.
In contrast to our willingness to compare the number of Olympic gold medals to our population and regard ourselves as the true winners of the Athens Olympics, we are reluctant to compare our greenhouse
gas emissions performance.
«Improvement, no matter how impressive, in either its own carbon emissions or in Canada's
overall emissions performance, will not remedy that vulnerability in any meaningful sense.»
The DCT offers up to a 17 % improvement in fuel consumption and CO2
emissions performance compared with that of a conventional automatic transmission — i.e., performance comparable to that of a manual gearbox.
A key contributor to the Accord Hybrid's
excellent emissions performance is a single dual bed catalytic converter that replaces the previous engine's two converters.
Nissan's New Vehicle Limited Warranty basic coverage excludes tires, corrosion coverage and federal and
California emission performance and defect coverage.
In 2009, for example, the German government amended its rules so that inspections of
emissions performance would be based solely on readings from a car's own «onboard diagnostic» system, effectively ceding total control to the automakers.
- The establishment of
an emissions performance standard that will prevent coal - fired power stations being built unless they are equipped with sufficient CCS to meet the emissions performance standard.
