LOS ANGELES, April 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) today announced it will convert 200 new Ford F-250 service pickup trucks to run on renewable natural gas (RNG) - a renewable form of energy produced from a variety of waste streams. The service trucks will be outfitted with the newest Landi Renzo Eco Ready™ equipment, a California Air Resource Board certified ultra-low emissions vehicles system. Equipping these 200 service vehicles to run on RNG is expected to reduce over 2,000 metric tons of CO2 equivalent (CO2e) per year which is equivalent to removing 1,800 passenger vehicles from our roads for one year. With the addition of these 200 new net-zero emissions s

Prepare for tougher at-berth emissions reductions in California
California’s new regulation “Control Measure for Ocean-Going Vessels At-Berth“ has now been approved by the state’s Office of Administrative Law (OAL) and took effect on 1 January 2021. The new Control Measure replaces the state’s previous regulation on “Airborne Toxic Control Measure for Auxiliary Diesel Engines Operated on Ocean-Going Vessels At-Berth in a California Port”(At-Berth Regulation) and is designed to further reduce the public’s exposure to air pollution generated by vessels berthed at California’s busiest ports. See our alert “California clamps down on air pollution from ships at berth” of 5 November 2020.
ORNL team achieves diesel-like efficiency with SI engine
International Journal of Engine Research.
The ORNL team conducted engine experiments with both 91 RON E10 gasoline and liquified petroleum gas (LPG). The unique high stroke-to-bore engine design (1.5:1) with cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and high compression ratio (13.3:1 for both fuels, with additional runs at 16.8:1 for LPG only) improved engine efficiency by up to 30% compared with a production turbocharged gasoline direct injection spark ignition engine.

A major benefit of SI engines is that they allow the use of low carbon content fuels like methane and propane. Additionally, criteria pollutant control, like unburned hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides (UHC, CO, and NO
