Comparing lifetime emissions of natural gas and conventional fuel vehicles: an application of the generalized ANCOVA model

New regulations and incentives are encouraging the use of clean, alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) in urban areas. These vehicles are seen as one option for reducing air pollution from mobile sources. However, because of the limited number of AFVs on the road, little is known about actual lifetime emissions characteristics of in-use AFVs. This study describes the use of a generalized analysis of covariance model to evaluate and compare the emissions from natural gas vehicles with emissions from reformulated gasoline vehicles. The model describes fleet-wide emissions deterioration, while also accounting for individual vehicle variability within the fleet. This ability to measure individual vehicle variability can then be used to provide realistic bounds for the emissions deterioration in individual vehicles and the fleet as a whole. In order to illustrate the use of the model, the carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen (NOx), non-methane hydrocarbon (NMHC), and carbon dioxide emissions characteristics of a fleet of dedicated natural gas Dodge Ram vans and a fleet of dedicated reformulated gasoline Dodge Ram vans operating in the U.S. government fleet are explored. The analysis demonstrates the utility of the statistical method and suggests a potential for natural gas Dodge Ram vans to be generally cleaner than their conventional fuel counterparts. However, in the case of NOx and NHMCs, the analysis also suggests that these emissions benefits might be reduced over the vehicle lifetime due to higher emissions deterioration rates for natural gas vehicles. As this paper is aimed at illustrating the analysis of the covariance model, the results reported herein should be considered within the context of a more comprehensive study of these data before general conclusions are possible. Generalization of these findings to other vehicle models and alternative fuel technologies is not justified without further study.

A field trial of nutrient stimulation of methanotrophs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from landfill cover soils

Landfills are among the major sources of anthropogenic methane (CH₄) estimated to reach 40?×?10⁹kg per year worldwide by 2015 (IPCC, 2007 IPCC. 2007. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, Synthesis Report on Contributions of Work Groups 1, 2, and 3 to the Fourth Assessment Report Core Writing Team, Edited by: Pauchar, R.K. and Reisinger, A. Geneva, Switzerland: IPCC.  [Google Scholar]). A 2½-year field experiment was conducted at a closed landfill in western Michigan where methanotrophs, methane-consuming bacteria, were stimulated by nutrient addition to the soil without significantly increasing biogenic nitrous oxide (N₂O) production. The effects of the nitrogen amendments (KNO₃ and NH₄Cl), phenylacetylene (a selective inhibitor of nitrifying bacteria that contribute to N₂O production), and a canopy (to reduce direct water infiltration) on the vertical soil gas profiles of CH₄, CO₂, and O₂ were measured in the top meter of the soil. Methane and nitrous oxide fluxes were calculated from the corresponding soil gas concentration gradients with respect to depth and a Millington–Quirk diffusivity coefficient in soil derived empirically from soil porosity, water content, and diffusivity coefficients in air from the literature. Methane flux estimates were as high as 218.4 g m^?2 day^?1 in the fall and 12.8 g/m^?2 day^?1 in the summer. During the spring and summer, CH₄ fluxes were reduced by more than half by adding KNO₃ and NH₄Cl into the soil as compared to control plots, while N₂O fluxes increased substantially. The concurrent addition of phenylacetylene to the amendment decreased peak N₂O production by half and the rate of peak methane oxidation by about one-third. The seasonal average methane and N₂O flux data were extrapolated to estimate the reduction of CH₄ and N₂O fluxes into the atmosphere by nitrogen and inhibitor addition to the cover soils. The results suggest that such additions coupled with soil moisture management may provide a potential strategy to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions from landfills.

Implications The results of a 2½-year study of effects of nutrient stimulation on methane oxidation in landfill cover soils demonstrates that nutrient addition does decrease methane emissions. The work further underscores the control which soil moisture exerts on methane oxidation. Water management is critical to the success of methane oxidation strategies.     

A novel field measurement method for determining fine particle and gas emissions from residential wood combustion

Emission data from residential wood combustion are usually obtained on test stands in the laboratory but these measurements do not correspond to the operational conditions in the field because of the technological boundary conditions (e.g. testing protocol, environmental and draught conditions). The field measurements take into account the habitual practice of the operators and provide the more reliable results needed for emission inventories. In this study, a workable and compact method for measuring emissions from residential wood combustion in winter conditions was developed. The emissions for fine particle, gaseous and PAH compounds as well as particle composition in real operational conditions were measured from seven different appliances. The measurement technique worked well and was evidently suitable for winter conditions. It was easy and fast to use, and no construction scaffold was needed. The dilution of the sample with the combination of a porous tube diluter and an ejector diluter was well suited to field measurement. The results indicate that the emissions of total volatile organic carbon (TVOC) (17 g kg⁻¹ (of dry wood burned)), carbon monoxide (CO) (120 g kg⁻¹) and fine particle mass (PM₁) (2.7 g kg⁻¹) from the sauna stove were higher than in the other measured appliances. In the masonry heaters, baking oven and stove, the emissions were 2.9–9 g kg⁻¹ TVOC, 28–68 g kg⁻¹ CO and 0.6–1.6 g kg⁻¹ PM₁. The emission of 12 PAHs (PAH₁₂) from the sauna stove was 164 mg kg⁻¹ and consisted mainly of PAHs with four benzene rings in their structure. PAH₁₂ emission from other appliances was, on average, 21 mg kg⁻¹ and was dominated by 2-ring PAHs. These results indicate that despite the non-optimal operational practices in the field, the emissions did not differ markedly from the laboratory measurements.     

曝气频率对生物反应器渗滤液与填埋气的影响

传统生物反应器填埋场长期以来存在酸化阶段过长和能源回收利用率低等问题。上层垃圾好氧处理可有效实现垃圾快速降解与集中甲烷化。为探究好氧处理阶段不同曝气频率对生物反应器填埋场运行效果的影响,设置厌氧生物反应器A1作为对照,曝气频率不同的上层曝气式生物反应器C1和C2为实验组进行实验。结果表明,上层垃圾好氧处理可有效改善填埋柱内高浓度挥发性脂肪酸(VFA)累积现象,缩短酸化阶段,促进甲烷化环境建立。至曝气结束,C1和C2填埋柱内渗滤液COD低于30 000 mg/L,VFA浓度降也降低到10 000 mg/L以下。好氧处理阶段,增大曝气频率可提高填埋垃圾对渗滤液pH的缓冲作用,扩大甲烷化面积,促进高浓度甲烷化过程的快速发生。与C1相比,曝气频率较高的C2反应器提前15 d达到pH为7的预处理要求,曝气阶段氨氮浓度经历先上后下,填埋柱日产甲烷量700 mL,约为C1产气能力的2倍。但考虑到实际氧气利用率与经济性能问题,曝气频率的选择不宜过大。     

Greenhouse gas emissions from municipal solid waste management in Indian mega-cities: a case study of Chennai landfill sites

Municipal solid waste generation rate is over-riding the population growth rate in all mega-cities in India. Greenhouse gas emission inventory from landfills of Chennai has been generated by measuring the site specific emission factors in conjunction with relevant activity data as well as using the IPCC methodologies for CH4 inventory preparation. In Chennai, emission flux ranged from 1.0 to 23.5mg CH4m(-2)h(-1), 6 to 460microg N2Om(-2)h(-1) and 39 to 906mg CO2m(2)h(-1) at Kodungaiyur and 0.9 to 433mg CH4m(-2)h(-1), 2.7 to 1200microg N2Om(-2)h(-1) and 12.3 to 964.4mg CO2m(-2)h(-1) at Perungudi. CH4 emission estimates were found to be about 0.12Gg in Chennai from municipal solid waste management for the year 2000 which is lower than the value computed using IPCC, 1996 [IPCC, 1996. Report of the 12th session of the intergovernmental panel of climate change, Mexico City, 1996] methodologies.     

KMnO4缓释剂的释放性能及其在垃圾渗滤液处理中的应用

为延长KMnO4在地下水原位修复中的作用时间,通过改变KMnO4与石蜡的分散方式以及KMnO4与石蜡的质量比(P/W),对KMnO4缓释剂的制备过程进行了优化.采用超声与搅拌联用(搅拌速度150 r/min)的分散方式更有利于KMnO4的均匀分布,随着P/W的升高,KMnO4负载量逐渐增大而绝对回收率逐渐减小.静态实验分别研究了缓释剂在8℃、不同pH与DO浓度下的释放性能.结果表明,在8℃环境下,缓释剂仍具有释放性能;缓释剂受pH影响较大而受DO浓度影响较小.利用缓释剂降解垃圾渗滤液中的COD以及对沉淀物进行定量分析.结果表明,缓释剂对COD去除率可高达57.1％,而沉淀量最少仅为投加纯KMnO4的8.5％.     

Feasibility of landfill gas as a liquefied natural gas fuel source for refuse trucks

The purpose of this paper is to develop a methodology to evaluate the feasibility of using landfill gas (LFG) as a liquefied natural gas (LNG) fuel source for heavy-duty refuse trucks operating on landfills. Using LFG as a vehicle fuel can make the landfills more self-sustaining, reduce their dependence on fossil fuels, and reduce emissions and greenhouse gases. Acrion Technologies Inc. in association with Mack Trucks Inc. developed a technology to generate LNG from LFG using the CO2 WASH process. A successful application of this process was performed at the Eco Complex in Burlington County, PA. During this application two LNG refuse trucks were operated for 600 hr each using LNG produced from gases from the landfill. The methodology developed in this paper can evaluate the feasibility of three LFG options: doing nothing, electricity generation, and producing LNG to fuel refuse trucks. The methodology involved the modeling of several components: LFG generation, energy recovery processes, fleet operations, economic feasibility, and decision-making. The economic feasibility considers factors such as capital, maintenance, operational, and fuel costs, emissions and tax benefits, and the sale of products such as surplus LNG and food-grade carbon dioxide (CO2). Texas was used as a case study. The 96 landfills in Texas were prioritized and 17 landfills were identified that showed potential for converting LFG to LNG for use as a refuse truck fuel. The methodology was applied to a pilot landfill in El Paso, TX. The analysis showed that converting LFG to LNG to fuel refuse trucks proved to be the most feasible option and that the methodology can be applied for any landfill that considers this option.     

Development of a composite line source emission model for traffic interrupted microenvironments and its application in particle number emissions at a bus station

A composite line source emission (CLSE) model was developed to specifically quantify exposure levels and describe the spatial variability of vehicle emissions in traffic interrupted microenvironments. This model took into account the complexity of vehicle movements in the queue, as well as different emission rates relevant to various driving conditions (cruise, decelerate, idle and accelerate), and it utilised multi-representative segments to capture the accurate emission distribution for real vehicle flow. Hence, this model was able to quickly quantify the time spent in each segment within the considered zone, as well as the composition and position of the requisite segments based on the vehicle fleet information, which not only helped to quantify the enhanced emissions at critical locations, but it also helped to define the emission source distribution of the disrupted steady flow for further dispersion modelling. The model then was applied to estimate particle number emissions at a bi-directional bus station used by diesel and compressed natural gas fuelled buses. It was found that the acceleration distance was of critical importance when estimating particle number emission, since the highest emissions occurred in sections where most of the buses were accelerating and no significant increases were observed at locations where they idled. It was also shown that emissions at the front end of the platform were 43 times greater than at the rear of the platform. Although the CLSE model is intended to be applied in traffic management and transport analysis systems for the evaluation of exposure, as well as the simulation of vehicle emissions in traffic interrupted microenvironments, the bus station model can also be used for the input of initial source definitions in future dispersion models.

On-road remote sensing of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) vehicle emissions measurement and emission factors estimation

In the present study, the real-world on-road liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) vehicle/taxi emissions of carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbon (HC) and nitric oxide (NO) were investigated. A regression analysis approach based on the measured LPG vehicle emission data was also used to estimate the on-road LPG vehicle emission factors of CO, HC and NO with respect to the effects of instantaneous vehicle speed and acceleration/deceleration profiles for local urban driving patterns. The results show that the LPG vehicle model years and driving patterns have a strong correlation to their emission factors. A unique correlation of LPG vehicle emission factors (i.e., g km⁻¹ and g l⁻¹) on different model years for urban driving patterns has been established. Finally, a comparison was made between the average LPG, and petrol [Chan, T.L., Ning, Z., Leung, C.W., Cheung, C.S., Hung, W.T., Dong, G., 2004. On-road remote sensing of petrol vehicle emissions measurement and emission factors estimation in Hong Kong. Atmospheric Environment 38, 2055–2066 and 3541] and diesel [Chan, T.L., Ning, Z., 2005. On-road remote sensing of diesel vehicle emissions measurement and emission factors estimation in Hong Kong. Atmospheric Environment 39, 6843–6856] vehicle emission factors. It has shown that the introduction of the replacement of diesel taxis to LPG taxis has alleviated effectively the urban street air pollution. However, it has demonstrated that proper maintenance on the aged LPG taxis should also be taken into consideration.     

非规范生活垃圾填埋场填埋气横向迁移规律及控制

我国城市中尚有大量非规范生活垃圾填埋场存在,对其进行污染整治消除填埋气导致的环境安全隐患刻不容缓.以重庆某垃圾填埋场为例,研究重庆市主城区的非规范生活垃圾填埋场填埋气的横向迁移问题,在垃圾场周边区域布设36个监测井,对监测井中的填埋气进行分析监测,以填埋气特征组分CH4气体的体积浓度变化研究填埋气的横向迁移规律.结果表明,监测井到填埋场边界的距离为监测井中CH4气体浓度的主要影响因素;垃圾场周边距离填埋场场界50 m以外的区域,填埋气的横向迁移已经相当微弱;但是距离填埋场边界50 m以内区域的填埋气的横向迁移明显,需要在距离填埋场边界50 m范围内采取措施与场内填埋气的导排措施配合,进行填埋气的污染控制.     

Spectroscopic measurement of horizontal atmospheric extinction and its practical application

At a suburban location in southern Korea, the optical properties of the atmosphere were characterized over a horizontal light path of 1.5 km (in two ways) from 22 October to 19 November 2002. This was achieved by measuring light extinction with a long path differential optical absorption spectrometer system in the ultraviolet and visible wavelength region. The extinction coefficients were obtained relatively as a ratio of a target air spectrum to a defined reference spectrum measured over the same light path (290–760 nm). To assess the measured extinction coefficients, the extinction coefficients at 550 nm were compared to those measured with a commercial long-path transmissometer.To avoid the absorption of known gases (H₂O, NO₂, and O₃), extinction coefficients at the spectral bands of 325, 394, 472, 550, 580, 680, and 753 nm, with 3 nm window widths, were selected and analyzed for the purpose of the study of the aerosol properties. Importantly, the atmospheric physical properties during the episodes (such as a biomass burning or a dust storm) were investigated by means of the Angstrom parameters and the mass ratio of fine-to-coarse particles. In addition, it was found that the Angstrom exponents decrease monotonously for relative humidity above 50%.     

N2O emissions at municipal solid waste landfill sites: Effects of CH4 emissions and cover soil

Municipal solid waste landfills are the significant anthropogenic sources of N₂O due to the cooxidation of ammonia by methane-oxidizing bacteria in cover soils. Such bacteria could be developed through CH₄ fumigation, as evidenced by both laboratory incubation and field measurement. During a 10-day incubation with leachate addition, the average N₂O fluxes in the soil samples, collected from the three selected landfill covers, were multiplied by 1.75 (p < 0.01), 3.56 (p < 0.01), and 2.12 (p < 0.01) from the soil samples preincubated with 5% CH₄ for three months when compared with the control, respectively. Among the three selected landfill sites, N₂O fluxes in two landfill sites were significantly correlated with the variations of the CH₄ emissions without landfill gas recovery (p < 0.001). N₂O fluxes were also elevated by the increase of the CH₄ emissions with landfill gas recovery in another landfill site (p > 0.05). The annual average N₂O flux was 176 ± 566 μg N₂O–N m^?2 h^?1 (p < 0.01) from sandy soil–covered landfill site, which was 72% (p < 0.05) and 173% (p < 0.01) lower than the other two clay soil covered landfill sites, respectively. The magnitude order of N₂O emissions in three landfill sites was also coincident by the results of laboratory incubation, suggesting the sandy soil cover could mitigate landfill N₂O emissions.     

A simple model for estimating emissions of volatile organic compounds from grass and cut grass in urban airsheds and its application to two Australian cities

Grass, and particularly cut grass, recently has been shown to emit significant amounts of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the atmosphere. Some components of these emissions are highly reactive and may contribute to photochemical smog in urban areas. A simple model for estimating the VOC emissions from grass and for grass cutting that allows these processes to be included in urban/regional emissions inventories is presented here. Using previous work and recent literature values, estimates are made of these biogenic volatile organic compound (BVOC) emissions for two typical urban airsheds, those including the cities of Sydney and Melbourne in Australia. Grass and cut grass could contribute approximately 2% for Sydney and 3% for Melbourne of the total VOCs emitted into these urban atmospheres annually. These contributions could rise to 4 and 5%, respectively, during the weekends of the summer growing season and, thus, could contribute to weekday/weekend ozone differences. It is recommended that the emissions of BVOCs from grass and cut grass be included in urban and global emissions inventories so that more accurate predictions of smog chemistry can be determined.
