“…Considering only the tank-to-wheel greenhouse gas emissions, LNG can yield a 23% reduction compared to diesel (Withers et al 2014). When considering the well-to-tank emissions as well (i.e., including the total life cycle of imported LNG), greenhouse gas emissions can be reduced between 5 and 20% (Graham et al 2008;Arteconi et al 2010;Ou and Zhang 2013). The comprehensive study of Arteconi et al (2010) indicates a 10% emission reduction for heavy vehicle road-freight transportation in Europe, which is similar to our case.…”

When an alternative fuel is introduced, the infrastructure through which that fuel is made available to the market is often underdeveloped. Transportation service providers relying on such infrastructures are unlikely to adopt alternative fuel vehicles as it may impose long detours for refueling. In this paper, we design and apply a new solution approach to derive minimum infrastructure requirements, in terms of the number of alternative fuel stations. The effectiveness of our approach is demonstrated by applying it to the case of introducing liquefied natural gas (LNG) as a transportation fuel in The Netherlands. From this case, we learn that, depending on the driving range of the LNG trucks and the size of area on which those trucks operate, a minimum of 5-12 LNG fuel stations is necessary to render LNG trucks economically and environmentally beneficial.

“…For diesel and NGV, the EF of CO 2 levels was 1150.1 and 1280.9 g/km, respectively. Graham (2008) reported that HDDVs using NGV fuel had a higher CO 2 emission than those using diesel fuels.…”

The objective of determining the emission factor of carbon dioxide (EF-CO 2 ) from in-use vehicles in Thailand is to gather important data for estimating transport emissions. These data may help develop greenhouse gas management plans for the area. In-use vehicles were tested on a chassis dynamometer by the Bangkok Driving Cycle to quantify CO 2 emissions. The emission factor is defined as the average emission rate for CO 2 per vehicle based on average speed and fuel consumption. The studied vehicle types were the following: heavy duty diesel vehicles (HDDV); light duty diesel vehicles (LDDV); light duty gasoline vehicles (LDGV); and motorcycles (MC) with 4-stroke engines. These vehicles were tested using a variety of fuel types available in Thailand. The study result was found that emissions from the vehicle types were significantly different at the statistic of p-value<0.05. These results can be compared with emission factors of CO 2 , including the vehicle types and fuel types from international studies and used in Thailand to promote better efficiency to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles.

“…A large number of studies have investigated for individual sectors how gas engines could decrease GHG emissions compared with those produced from conventional fossil fuels (Chandler et al 2000;Beer et al 2002;Hekkert et al 2005;Einang 2007;Graham et al 2008;Nijboer 2010;Ou et al 2010;Karakurt et al 2011;Hao et al 2011;Andress et al 2011;Bengtsson et al 2011;Sánchez et al 2012;Zhang et al 2014;Alam and Hatzopoulou 2014;Wang et al 2015;Jaffe et al 2015;Manns et al 2015). With the exception of Karakurt et al (2011), who studied the use of ventilation air methane (VAM), and Bengtsson et al (2011) andEinang (2007), who examined gas as a fuel for ships' engines, most of the articles focus on employing gas engines in road vehicles.…”

This paper employs a review of the technical literature to estimate the potential decrease in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that could be achieved by increasing the application of gas engines in China in three sectors: urban public transport vehicle; shipping; and thermal power plants. China's gas engine development strategies and three types of gas resource are discussed in the study, which indicates that gas engines could decrease GHG emissions by 520 megatonnes (Mt) of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO 2e ) by 2020. This would account for 9.7 % of the government's target for decreasing GHG emissions and is dominated by methane recovery from the use of coal mine gas (CMG) and landfill gas (LFG) for power generation. In the public urban transport vehicle and shipping sectors the low price of natural gas and the increasing demand for the control of harmful emissions could spur the rapid uptake of gas engine vehicles. However, the development of CMG-and LFG-fuelled power plants has been limited by the unwillingness of local enterprises to invest in high-performance gas engine generators and the associated infrastructure. Therefore, further compulsory policies that promote CMG use and LFG recovery should be implemented. Moreover, strict regulations on limiting methane leakage during the production and distribution of gas fuels are urgently needed in China to prevent leakage causing GHG emissions and largely negating the climate benefits of fuel substitution. Strategies for increasing the application of gas engines, promoting gas resources and recovering methane in China are instrumental in global GHG mitigation strategies.
