Presentation Transcript

  1. Reducing Motor Vehicle GHGs:Study Overview Kenneth A. Colburn Northeast States Center for a Clean Air Future (NESCCAF)

  2. Presentation Overview • Background • Study Design • Sequence of Presentations • Next steps

  3. Background • AB 1493 (California “Pavley” Bill) • New England Governors/Eastern Canadian Premiers Climate Action Plan • 2003 state of the state address by Governor Pataki and A04082 NYS Assembly Bill

  4. Study Overview • Develop estimate of GHG reducing potential for 35 technologies as well as cost estimates • Purpose was to screen technologies for combined simulations in Phase 2 • Combine technologies into packages and simulate GHG emissions • 75 simulation runs for five vehicles types • Assess lifecycle costs for the different technology packages • Takes into account what consumers pay over the life of the vehicle • Assumptions made about gasoline prices and other factors

  5. General Overview of Study • AVL defined modeled technologies, provided engineering expertise, and conducted CRUISE simulations • Definition of modeled technologies were provided to Martec for development of cost assessments • Martec estimated costs and also made forecasts for the introduction of technologies into the vehicle fleet in future years

  6. Overview (continued) • Meszler Engineering Services (MES) provided engineering and project management support, and evaluated the GHG emission reduction potential of certain technologies (such as air conditioning) • NESCCAF directed the study, and oversaw the synthesis of the cost and technical analyses

  7. NESCCAF Study Team Technology Impact Evaluation Report Technology Cost Evaluation Data Integration & Cost Effectiveness Extensive interaction between study participants not depicted. Air Conditioning, N20, Methane Evaluation

  8. Team Effort • In most cases decisions were made jointly by the project team • In cases where information or direction was needed, these were provided by NESCCAF • Examples include: retail price equivalent, hybrid vehicle design, inclusion of air conditioning in technology packages

  9. Sequence of Today’s Presentations • AVL – CRUISE Model and CRUISE simulation results • Martec – cost method and cost analysis results • Meszler Engineering Services • Air conditioning analysis • Synthesis of GHG reductions and cost benefit analysis (on behalf of NESCCAF)

  10. Next Steps • Finalize report • Interim report presents nearly final technical results for the 5 categories of vehicles. Cost figures need to be finalized for the final report. • Expected completion date: mid-May
