Zero-Emission Vehicles & Fuel Technologies

The project will develop an ‘Organic Resource Locator’ for the Southern California region with particular emphasis on the territory served by the Southern California Gas Company. This will be a map of technically recoverable organic resources available for energy conversion, and the potential end users.

This paper will review the policy activities, targets, and strategies for hydrogen as an energy carrier in eight of the world’s most active economies, then focus on the “big four”: Japan, Germany, South Korea and California.

The focus of this study will be on modeling of the ISO tanks evaporative losses, holding times, and the amount of methane released from the tanks pressure relief/safety valves when the holding time is passed.

This project measured emissions differences between conventional vehicles and hybrid-electric vehicles.

This project will involve a robust analysis of plug-in electric vehicle choice and usage decisions by households within an integrated framework that captures the joint nature of the decisions.

This research addresses how fueling station locations impact alternative fuel vehicles in terms of energy, efficiency, and emissions.

The project focuses on smart charging of electric vehicles (EVs) – specifically the optimization-based charging of EVs over time.

This project studies market penetration scenarios for plug-in battery electric trucks across the United States.

This project presents a stochastic multi-agent optimization model that supports energy infrastructure planning under uncertainty.
