1 A Comparative Assessment of Vehicle Technologies and Fuels: Diesel, CNG or Hybrid CAI Latin America Lima, Peru May, 23 Summary Why We Are Interested Diesel Pro & Con CNG Pro & Con Hybrid Pro & Con Conclusions What pollutants are of concern? Greenhouse Gases - CO2, methane Haze Particles (PM1/PM2.5) (NOx, SOx, ROG, ammonia) Carbon monoxide (CO) Ozone (ROG + NOx) Toxics - Diesel particles -Benzene - Chromium - Asbestos Health Impacts of Air Pollution Premature Deaths Cancer Developmental Effects Hospitalization Asthma Attacks and Bronchitis

2 Health Effects Different Pollutants have Different Effects Carbon Monoxide - circulatory system, heart Ozone - respiratory system, lung Nitrogen Dioxide respiratory system PM - lung, potential effects on heart Diesel, Air Toxics - cancer, respiratory effects There are potential effects of the Mixture Some Populations more sensitive than others elderly people with heart and lung disease Some of the infrared radiation passes through the atmosphere Greenhouse Gas Effect Some infrared radiation is absorbed and re-emitted in all directions by GHG The effect is to warm Earth GHGs Most radiation is absorbed by the Earth and makes it warm 7% radiation passes through the clear atmosphere Earth and atmosphere reflect 3% Global Warming Concerns Share of worldwide C2 emissions from the combustion of fuel, by sector IPCC "the balance of evidence suggests a discernible human influence" IPCC - 2 "there has been a discernible human influence on global climate" Residential 8% Transport 26% Commercial and other 6% Production of Energy 41% Manufacturing and Construction 19% Source: IEA 2a.
