Fuel cell vehicles have zero tailpipe emissions and reduce greenhouse gases by 40 to 50 percent compared to conventional gasoline vehicles, depending on the percentage of renewable hydrogen dispensed.

Indeed, facility - level information and verification of emissions data coming out of every smokestack and tailpipe in China would create undue burden on all sides.

California's low - income solar and EV programs are also making a tangible impact on air quality, reducing tailpipe emissions directly in the community, while contributing to the state's growing clean energy capacity.

Kilimanjaro's majestic glacial cap of 11,000 - year - old ice has long captured imaginations the world over, so it was not surprising that environmentalists focused their attention on it when scientists reported in 2001 that glaciers around the world were retreating, partly as a result of global warming caused by emissions of heat - trapping «greenhouse» gases from smokestacks and tailpipes.

The expected introduction of plug - in hybrid electric vehicles could cut U.S. gasoline use, but could increase deadly air pollution in some areas, two reports say.That's because a plug - in's lower tailpipe emissions may be offset by smokestack emissions from the utility generating plants supplying electricity to recharge the big batteries that allow plug - ins to run up to 40 miles without kicking on their gasoline engines.

In the mid-1990s, when fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) first appeared on my radar, they seemed like an ideal alternative to the gasoline engines in most passenger cars, offering zero tailpipe emissions and very low lifecycle, or well - to - wheels emissions of all types.

In evaluating the effects of different fuels on GHG emissions, it is crucial to consider GHG emissions associated with fuel production and distribution in addition to vehicle tailpipe emissions (see the section on well - to - wheels analysis).

According to the Tailpipe Rule, CO2 emissions due to air conditioner - related loads on automobile engines account for 3.9 % of total passenger car greenhouse gas emissions, and various technologies could reduce air conditioner - related CO2 emissions by 10 % to 30 %.51 A 30 % reduction of the 3.9 % of motor vehicle emissions associated with air conditioner engine load would decrease fuel consumption by only 1.1 %.

Driving on electricity generates zero tailpipe emissions.

The Model X is the best SUV on the road today, hands down, and I didn't even mention the instant torque that throws you back in your seat, the supersplendulous windshield, the Supercharging, zero tailpipe emissions, the silence of electric cars, the regeneration that happens when braking, the comfortable seats, the huge touchscreen, the great service, the amazing buying experience, the fuel savings, all the innovation they pack in... I could go on, but I think you get my point.

In my opinion, the «holy grail» of road pricing charges drivers directly for their carbon emissions, and for the wear and tear they cause on the road - a little sensor on the end of their tailpipe, and a GPS unit.

Starting with the negotiations leading to the Kyoto Protocol climate treaty in 1997, it has promoted the idea that lingering uncertainties in climate science justify delaying restrictions on emissions of carbon dioxide and other heat - trapping smokestack and tailpipe gases.

The lifecycle emissions of ethanol — from seed to tailpipe — depend on how the ethanol is made and what it is made from.

Total emissions includes upstream emissions for gasoline, so I based the tailpipe emission for the US average on the total emission and the 1.25 ratio given here.

An electric vehicle, on the other hand, produces no harmful emissions directly from its «tailpipe», but unless it's being charged with solar, wind, or other clean electricity, an EV is responsible for some air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions being produced at the point of electricity generation.

The second column of values compares the electricity generation + tailpipe emissions to the tailpipe emissions of the US average car (the first column is based on total emissions including the 1.25 factor for gasoline).

What we need is a change in our transportation infrastructure, so that we have significantly fewer individual cars on the roads (replaced by modern mass transit like light - rail, bus rapid transit, separated bike paths, walkable neighborhoods, etc), and so that those that are there have much cleaner tailpipe emissions (hybrids like the AT - PZEV Prius are a step in the right direction, but we can do better).

But those assumptions are based on emissions from the tailpipe or smokestack and don't account for the methane and other pollution emitted when gas is extracted and piped to power plants and other customers.

And while familiarity breeds contempt, we should remember that even if the Prius is still a gasoline car, it's a decent step forward: AT - PZEV tailpipe emissions (which means SULEV + zero evaporative emissions from the fuel system) and 50 MPG EPA make it cleaner than almost everything on the market (depends on the country).

Today's announcement of backtracking on vehicle standards for model years 2022 - 2025 puts at risk tens of billions of dollars of fuel savings for consumers and big reductions in tailpipe emissions.
