基于逸度方法分析大连湾海域PFASs在海水-沉积物界面的扩散趋势

研究污染物在沉积物-水界面的扩散趋势对于开展其环境风险评估具有重要作用。本研究基于大连湾海域海水和沉积物样品中全氟烷基化合物（PFASs）的含量数据,应用变异系数（C_v）分析了浓度分布的空间变异程度,应用逸度分数（ff）分析了PFASs在沉积物-水界面扩散趋势,应用响应系数（RC）分析了有机碳含量对扩散趋势的影响。结果表明:大连湾海域海水和沉积物中9种PFASs的总浓度均为中等变异;在沉积物中的浓度空间差异略大,可能受历史排放污染物残留及污染事故的影响。在海水-沉积物界面扩散过程中,全氟烷基磺酸类和全氟烷基羧酸类化合物呈现相同的扩散特性,总体表现为ff值随PFASs链长的增加而逐渐降低的趋势。短链PFASs在大连湾海域倾向于存在于水体中,而长链PFASs倾向于扩散到沉积物中。有机碳是影响PFASs在沉积物-水界面扩散趋势的重要参数,且对长链PFASs的影响更明显。全氟辛烷磺酸作为一种持久性有机污染物在大连湾海域中主要处于平衡状态。

Optimal range of plug-in electric vehicles in Beijing and Shanghai

Both China’s national subsidy policies for plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) purchasers and passenger cars corporate average fuel consumption and new vehicle credit regulation (dual-credit policy) favor long-range 300+ km battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and 80+ km plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). However, these electric vehicles tend to have lower energy efficiency and higher purchase and operation costs. Vehicle with larger batteries can also be less equitable because the subsidies are often provided to more expensive vehicles and wealthier owners. This study takes advantage of a novel dataset of daily driving data from 39,854 conventional gasoline vehicles in Beijing and 4999 PHEVs in Shanghai to determine the optimal range of BEVs and PHEVs within their respective cities. We simulate a model to explore ranges with which PEVs emit less GHGs than that of a baseline hybrid and conventional gasoline vehicle while ensuring that all daily travel demands are met. Our findings indicate that in both cities, the optimal ranges to balance cost and travel demand for BEVs are 350 km or less and for PHEVs are 60 km or less in Beijing and 80 km or less in Shanghai. We also find that to minimize carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions, the ranges are even lower 10 km in Beijing and 30 km in Shanghai. Our study suggests that instead of encouraging long-range PEVs, governments should subsidize PEV models with shorter ranges. Parallel efforts should also be made to both increase renewable energy over fossil fuels and expand charging facilities. Although individual mobility demand varies, the government could reduce occasional long-distance driving by subsidizing alternative transportation choices. Providing week-long driving trials to consumers before their purchases may help decrease the demand of very long range PEVs by alleviating the range anxiety through a learning process.

Evaluating national hydrogen refueling infrastructure requirement and economic competitiveness of fuel cell electric long-haul trucks

This study explored the national hydrogen refueling infrastructure requirement along major United States (US) interstate highway corridors to support the deployment of fuel cell electric trucks (FCETs) for the national long-haul trucking fleet. Given the long-haul trucking shipment demand in 2025 projected by the Freight Analysis Framework, locations and capacities of hydrogen stations were identified for inter-zone freight flows, and the total daily refueling demand was estimated for intra-zone flows for each FAF zone. Based on the infrastructure deployment results, we conducted an economic feasibility analysis of FCETs by evaluating the total ownership cost. We found that when the FCET penetration is relatively high (e.g., 10% penetration), FCETs become more competitive in terms of fuel cost and idling cost and could be economic viable if the incremental vehicle cost is reduced to meet the near-term FCET technology cost targets and the liquefaction cost is reduced to an optimal case. We also observed that the station cost depends on regional factors, particularly regional demand, which is used to determine station capacity. Thus, one possible strategy for station roll-out is to have early investment in target regions where station costs are expected to be relatively low such as the Pacific and West South Central regions.

     

市级生态保护红线生态补偿框架初探——以济南市为例

生态补偿对于协调经济发展和环境保护具有重要意义,不同层次的生态补偿都急需探索。其中市级生态补偿因为具有"利益相关者明确、涉及范围小、行政管理方便"等优点,更容易优先推进。文章以济南市为研究案例,探索分析了市级生态保护红线生态补偿的利益相关者和资金框架结构,确定了各区县间生态保护红线的生态补偿分配比例,为其他城市乃至省级生态保护红线的生态补偿提供借鉴。
