What is the cost of usable energy for driving and heating our homes?
by Michael Sivak. This analysis compares the costs of usable energy when we buy gasoline and electricity for driving and natural gas for keeping warm. The unifying approach in this comparison involves the use of Btu (British thermal units), coupled with the costs of gasoline, electricity, and...

BP forming 50:50 biofuels JV with Bunge in Brazil; growing existing biofuels business >50%
BP will form a 50:50 biofuels joint venture with Bunge—a leader in agriculture, food and ingredients. BP will combine its Brazilian biofuels and biopower businesses with that of Bunge to create a world-scale, highly-efficient producer of sugarcane ethanol in Brazil: BP Bunge Bioenergia. BP’s in...
I don't see myself trading my Tesla model 3 for one of these, but like seeing Honda getting into the game, wish Toyota would get in the game.

Honda releases more technical detail about Honda e EV
Honda has released more technical details about the upcoming Honda e urban EV. The Honda e is equipped with a high-power electric motor delivering up to approximately 150PS (110 kW) and torque in excess of 300 N·m. The 35.5 kWh battery in the Honda e is one of the most compact in its class,...
Maybe if the pollution is less at the tail pipe it can counter the damage making corn ethanol causes, like polluted water from fertilizer, insecticide pollution, ozone pollution, and a host of others.

Study finds ethanol blends reduce GDI tailpipe PM
A new study finds that ethanol blends reduce particulate matter (PM) coming out of the tailpipe, which in turn reduces overall toxic emissions. The study was conducted by the University of California Riverside and the University of Wisconsin, Madison and commissioned by the Urban Air Initiative...
It would have been nice to see the charts to verify this story. Maybe they don't want us to see something.

The EPA can not change the law that limits vapor pressure of gasoline. Congress set these limits and they are the only one who can change it. Trump and the EPA are breaking the law here. This Country is falling apart now that Trump makes laws, not congress, as was intended by the Constitution.

EPA allows year-round sale of E15 gasoline
US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Andrew Wheeler signed the final action that would remove the key regulatory barrier to using gasoline blended with up to 15% ethanol (E15) during the summer driving season and reform the renewable identification number (RIN) compliance syst...
Getting rid of the corn ethanol mandate imposed by the federal government, would go a long way in reducing the threat to persons who breath air.

Study finds air pollution caused by corn production increases mortality rate in US
A new study finds that environmental damage caused by corn production results in 4,300 premature deaths annually in the United States, representing a monetized cost of $39 billion. The paper, published in Nature Sustainability, presents how researchers have estimated for the first time the he...
Electric cars emit far fewer emissions from brakes. Fact the brakes are so unused they last the life time of the electric car.

EEA report: EVs are better for climate and air quality
Battery electric cars emit less greenhouse gases and air pollutants over their entire life cycle than petrol and diesel cars, according to a European Environment Agency (EEA) report. Promoting renewable energy and circular economy—including the shared use of vehicles and product design that sup...
To bad the environmental consequences of making corn ethanol will be devastating to the United States, according to every environmental group in America.

EIA: US exported a record amount of fuel ethanol in 2017
The United States exported nearly 1.4 billion gallons of fuel ethanol in 2017, surpassing the previous record of 1.2 billion gallons set in 2011, according to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA). US imports of ethanol in 2017 increased compared with 2016 but remained relatively ...
This is good that everybody is now finding out why CO2 from corn ethanol is higher that just using plan gasoline. Just look at how much CO2 comes off of the corn ethanol in just the fermentation process.

Study finds carbon capture & storage could be financial opportunity for conventional ethanol plants
To better understand the near-term commercial potential for capturing and storing atmospheric carbon dioxide, researchers from the Carnegie Institution for Science, International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and Stanford University have m...
With pesticides causing so much VOC pollution you can see why every environmental group is against corn ethanol as a replacement for plain gasoline.

Study: consumer products overtake transportation as largest source of VOCs air pollution in cities
Consumer products such as shampoo, cleaning products and paint now contribute as much to emitted volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in cities as tailpipe emissions from vehicles, according to a new study led by NOAA. The results, published in an open-access paper in the journal Science, suggest ...
Farm land was once covered with native vegetation sequestering CO2 until the farmer ripped out the forests or grass lands to change it to crop land The pro ethanol people think corn should get credit for sequestering CO2 when in fact the grassland or forests sequestered more CO2 than the corn crop that replaced it.

Digging into the differences in carbon accounting for biofuels
The benefit to the climate of using biofuels as a substitute for fossil fuels has been sharply contested for years; much of the disagreement is based on the assumptions underlying the carbon accounting in the lifecycle analysis. The argument essentially boils down to whether or not biofuels are ...
