In 1908, what fraction of U.S. NOx emissions was contributed by highway transportation? By electric utilities? What were these fractions m 2008?
Find the estimated annual emissions of NOx, VOCs, SO2 and PM for the United States for two historic years (say 2000 and 2019) with information about major categories (e.g., mobile, non-mobile, EGU, area, etc.). Likewise, find the CO, NO2, ozone and PM2.5 concentrations for similar years in your city of choice (look at annual PM2.5 and 4th highest 8-hr ozone, you can choose which CO and NO2 metric to consider). Discuss how the emissions have changed by category and link that to how the concentrations have changed.
The default carbon dioxide emission factor for biodiesel fuel is 70,800 kg/TJ, and the emission factor for diesel fuel is 74,100 kg/TJ.
Which diesel fuel, biodiesel or “regular” diesel fuel, has the greater carbon intensity per unit of energy?
What are their respective carbon intensities compared to natural gas?
If a city were to invest in climate-friendly buses for public transportation, should it choose a diesel-powered bus, a biodiesel-powered bus, or a natural gas-powered bus?
