1 FUEL AND TECNOLOGY ALTERNATIVES FOR BUSES Overall energy efficiency and emission performance IEA AMF Annex XXXVII & Bioenergy Task 41/Project 3 TransEco Bus Seminar Nils-Olof Nylund VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland

2 2 About IEA.. The International Energy Agency (IEA) is an intergovernmental organisation which acts as energy policy advisor to 28 member countries in their effort to ensure reliable, affordable and clean energy for their citizens Founded during the oil crisis of , the IEA s initial role was to co-ordinate measures in times of oil supply emergencies IEA is the energy arm of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development OECD

3 3..About IEA As energy markets have changed, so has the IEA. Its mandate has broadened to incorporate the Four E s of balanced energy policy making: energy security economic development environmental protection engagement worldwide. Current work focuses on climate change policies, market reform, energy technology collaboration and outreach to the rest of the world, especially major consumers and producers of energy like China, India, Russia and the OPEC countries Collaborative energy technology research is carried out in some 40 Multilateral Technology Initiatives also known as Implementing Agreements

4 4 IEA Implementing Agreements with Transport Related Activities End-Use Working Party Transport Advanced Fuel Cells AFC Advanced Materials for Transport AMT Advanced Motor Fuels AMF Hybrid and Electric Vehicles HEV End-Use Working Party Industry Combustion Renewable Energy Working Party Bioenergy: Task 39/Commercializing 1st- and 2nd-Generation Liquid Biofuels Hydrogen Renewable Energy Technology Deployment

34 34 Summary Based on the findings of the project it is possible to establish the effects of various parameters on bus performance Over the last 15 years, tightening emission regulations and improved engine and exhaust after-treatment technology have reduced regulated emissions dramatically On the engine side the improvements in fuel efficiency have not been that spectacular, but hybridization and light-weighting can reduce fuel consumption

35 35 Summary The largest variations and also uncertainties can be found for WTW CO 2eqv emissions, or in fact the WTT part of the CO 2eqv emissions The most effective way to reduce regulated emissions is to replace old vehicles with new ones The most effective way to cut GHG emissions is to switch from fossil fuels to efficient biofuels.

36 36 Summary - Vehicle Old vs. new diesel vehicles 10:1 and even more for regulated emissions 100:1 for particulate numbers close to neutral for fuel efficiency Hybridization and light-weighting % reduction in fuel consumption not automatically beneficial for regulated emissions energy consumption ratio between the least fuel efficient vehicle with conventional power train and the most efficient hybrid 2:1 Effect of driving cycle 5:1 for fuel consumption and regulated emissions

37 37 Summary Fuel performance Fuel effects on tailpipe emissions (when replacing regular diesel) 2.5:1 at maximum for regulated emissions (particulates) 4:1 for unregulated emissions Alternative fuels (in dedicated vehicles) low PM emissions but not automatically low NO x emissions fuel efficiency depends on combustion system (compression or spark-ignition) diesel vs. spark-ignited CNG roughly equivalent for tailpipe CO 2

38 38 WTW Fossil fuels Conventional fossil diesel CO 2eqv WTT some 20 % and TTW some 80 % of total WTW 2:1 for WTW for a given fuel (least fuel efficient vehicle with conventional power train and the most efficient hybrid) CTL diesel CO 2eqv WTT some 60 % and TTW some 40 % of total WTW CTL vs. conventional diesel for CO 2eqv 2:1 CNG, DME, and GTL vs. conventional diesel for CO 2eqv (average) ~ +10 % CNG equivalent to diesel at its best (local gas) CNG and DME from remote natural gas and GTL vs. conventional diesel for overall energy ~1.5:1

39 39 WTW - Biofuels Biofuels vs. conventional diesel for CO 2eqv relative reduction ~ % (biofuels from traditional feedstocks) relative reduction ~ % (biofuels from lignocellulosic feedstocks or waste in vehicles using diesel combustion) Conventional biogas vs. CNG for CO 2eqv relative reduction ~ % CTL vs. best biofuel for CO 2eqv 120:1 (fuel only) 240:1 (fuel and vehicle combined) Biofuels vs. conventional diesel for overall energy 2.5:1 1.75:1

40 40 Costs External costs for NO x and PM 12:1 variation in unit prices depending on country and region 200:1 in calculatory external costs (including effects of country, region and vehicle, range /km) External costs for CO 2eqv (at a price of 40 /ton of CO 2 ) 2:1 for vehicle (least fuel efficient vehicle with conventional power train and the most efficient hybrid) 120:1 for fuel (CTL vs. FAME from tallow) 240:1 (fuel and vehicle combined) Direct costs (investment, fuel and maintenance), lowest vs. highest ~ +15 % (baseline) ~ +20 % (high diesel price)
