Book excerpt: The purpose of this analysis is to evaluate the potential for growth in use of liquid natural gas (LNG) fueled trucks. . A system dynamics model was constructed for the analysis and a variety of scenarios were investigated. The analysis considers the economics of LNG fuel in the context of the trucking industry to identify barriers to the increased use of LNG trucks and potential interventions or leverage points which may overcome these barriers. The study showed that today, LNG use in trucks is not yet economically viable. A large change in the savings from fuel cost or capital cost is needed for the technology to take off. Fleet owners have no way now to benefit from the environmental benefits of LNG fuel nor do they benefit from the clean burning nature of the fuel. Changes in the fuel cost differential between diesel and LNG are not a research issue. However, quantifying the improvements in reliability and wear from the use of clean fuel could support increased maintenance and warranty periods. Many people involved in the use of LNG for trucks believe that LNG has the potential to occupy a niche within the larger diesel truck business. But if LNG in trucks can become economic, the spread of fuel stations and technology improvements could lead to LNG trucks becoming the dominant technology. An assumption in our simulation work is that LNG trucks will be purchased when economically attractive. None of the simulation results show LNG becoming economic but then only to the level of a niche market.

This book was released on 1985 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Executive Summary: This report compares the NGV markets in Italy, New Zealand, the United States and Canada with the emphasis on identifying reasons why natural gas is an attractive fuel for vehicles in Italy and New Zealand while apparently much less so in the U.S. and Canada. Identifying the reasons for low NGV penetration in Canada suggests means by which NGV can be made more competitive with conventional sources of transportation energy. The research has indicated that serious obstacles have so far prevented NGV from becoming the fuel of choice for many potential vehicle convertors. These include: - fuel price differential uncertainty, - high vehicle conversion costs, - high compression equipment costs, - tough competition from propane, - a demonstrated lack of government vehicle conversion commitment, - a low-key marketing effort, - certain institutional barriers to NGV use, and lack of technological developments.

Download or read book Natural Gas Vehicles in the US written by Alisa Puchkova and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis explores economic and environmental benefits generated by natural gas use in transportation. The analysis of natural gas vehicles and compressed natural gas markets is performed for the US and worldwide with an emphasis on the leaders in the industry. The US market is analyzed in detail to report current state of technology and fueling infrastructure countrywide. Vehicles and equipment supply, prices, and performance are reported to acknowledge the reader and to contrast the US NGV market with other markets worldwide. Also, prices of the natural gas technology are being discussed to explain principal differences and uniqueness of the market particularly in the US compared with other nations. The thesis analyzes emissions impact of natural gas in comparison to other alternative fuels available on the market. To reveal hidden costs of energy, a life-cycle emission approach is used to quantify emissions starting from a stage of fuel extraction up to a stage of fuel processing in a vehicle. The GREET model is used to quantify of greenhouse gases and criteria pollutants for variety of fuels, including natural gas, electricity, hydrogen, biodiesel, etc., using cleanest fuel production pathways. The thesis also includes the relative emissions of natural gas compared to other alternative and conventional fuels. This work summarizes practical experience gained by successful NGV users and applies this information to perform a cost-benefit analysis for seven actual fleets operating in Wyoming. A major objective of the cost-benefit analysis is to emphasize the diversity of applications where natural gas provides significant fuel cost and environmental benefits and to provide examples when natural gas fails to succeed due to low benefits and high costs. This analysis shows that there is no general rule that could be applied to all fleets; rather, each case needs to be analyzed separately to identify fleet-specific costs and benefits. Results of the analysis support earlier findings that heavy-duty fleets, such as transit buses, heavy-duty trucks, refuse collection fleets, and school buses remain the best candidates for natural gas conversion due to a low fuel economy, and moderately big annual mileage.

With the rapid development of information technology, especially sweeping progress in the Internet of things, cloud computing, social networks, social media and big data, social computing, as a data-intensive science, is an emerging field that leverages the capacity to collect and analyze data with an unprecedented breadth, depth and scale. It represents a new computing paradigm and an interdisciplinary field of research and application. A broad comprehension of major topics involved in social computing is important for both scholars and practitioners. This proceedings presents and discusses key concepts and analyzes the state-of-the-art of the field. The conference not only gave insights on social computing, but also affords conduit for future research in the field. Social computing has two distinct trends: One is on the social science issues, such as computational social science, computational sociology, social network analysis, etc; the other is on the use of computational techniques. Finally, some new challenges ahead are summarized, including interdisciplinary cooperation and training, big data sharing for scientific data mashups, and privacy protect.

Book excerpt: Thinking at EU, national and regional level and acting locally is not a contradiction, but rather a dynamic energy policy. If someone tells you that they can explain the opportunities and possibilities of environmental and climate aid within a few minutes, then you should be extremely skeptical. This book CLIMATE.help.EU introduces you to the numerous tangents of climate aid and the energy transition in an exciting way. The many interfaces of the energy transition are not necessarily immediately obvious, but the regional and local swarm contributions are of great importance for the common multiple. The renaturation, the sustainable bridge technologies, the climate-neutral future technologies, the sector coupling (Power-to-X) of electricity + heat + gas products + fuel products with hydrogen . . . the regional and local opportunities are manifold and have already triggered a booming job engine with German technology know-how and German infrastructure know-how in addition to the proof of concept for the energy transition. Hydrogen energy storage is the comprehensive bracket for the sustainable energy transition with environmentally neutral technologies to reduce climate change. This book CLIMATE.help.EU would like to engage you in an imaginative dialog on the energy transition and has a broad target group: interested citizens, students and teachers, municipal and regional actors, urban planners, politicians, entrepreneurs, actors in the construction industry, in agriculture and in the energy industry . . . as well as basically all people who keep asking themselves what sustainable action can look like. In the most positive sense, this book CLIMATE.help.EU actually dispenses with cautionary scenarios and starts directly with the presentation of the promising possibilities in the potential grid of the EU energy transition. The success of the energy transition depends crucially on the start and speed of implementation of defined goals, which requires determination and regional identity with the emerging fields of action. Let yourself be inspired and enthused by the numerous opportunities that the energy transition offers: thinking at EU, national and regional level and acting locally is not a contradiction, but rather a dynamic energy infrastructure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The announcement of a hydrogen fuel initiative in the President's 2003 State of the Union speech substantially increased interest in the potential for hydrogen to play a major role in the nation's long-term energy future. Prior to that event, DOE asked the National Research Council to examine key technical issues about the hydrogen economy to assist in the development of its hydrogen R&D program. Included in the assessment were the current state of technology; future cost estimates; CO2 emissions; distribution, storage, and end use considerations; and the DOE RD&D program. The report provides an assessment of hydrogen as a fuel in the nation's future energy economy and describes a number of important challenges that must be overcome if it is to make a major energy contribution. Topics covered include the hydrogen end-use technologies, transportation, hydrogen production technologies, and transition issues for hydrogen in vehicles.

Book excerpt: In the United States, recent shale gas discoveries have generated renewed interest in using natural gas as a vehicular fuel, primarily in fleet applications, while outside the United States, natural gas vehicle use has expanded significantly in the past decade. In this report for the U.S. Department of Energy's Clean Cities Program - a public-private partnership that advances the energy, economic, and environmental security of the U.S. by supporting local decisions that reduce petroleum use in the transportation sector - we have examined the state of natural gas vehicle technology, current market status, energy and environmental benefits, implications regarding advancements in European natural gas vehicle technologies, research and development efforts, and current market barriers and opportunities for greater market penetration. The authors contend that commercial intracity trucks are a prime area for advancement of this fuel. Therefore, we examined an aggressive future market penetration of natural gas heavy-duty vehicles that could be seen as a long-term goal. Under this scenario using Energy Information Administration projections and GREET life-cycle modeling of U.S. on-road heavy-duty use, natural gas vehicles would reduce petroleum consumption by approximately 1.2 million barrels of oil per day, while another 400,000 barrels of oil per day reduction could be achieved with significant use of natural gas off-road vehicles. This scenario would reduce daily oil consumption in the United States by about 8%.
