This project aimed to complement The California Air Resource Board’s on-going work on technology assessment by exploring how the near-term development of natural gas infrastructure, in the heavy-duty transportation sector, can be implemented to include technology that can best facilitate the long-term conversion to near-zero technology.

This project discusses UC Riverside's new Center for Renewable Natural Gas. It also covers the potential, production, and use of renewable natural gas as a vehicle fuel.
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.
Researchers introduce the Compressed Natural Gas Truck Routing Problem with Fueling Stations (CTRPFS) to model decisions to be made with regards to vehicle routes including the choice of fueling stations.
This graduate research assistantship quantifies the organic chemical composition of exhaust particles previously generated in emissions testing of biodiesel fuel in various states of accelerated oxidation.
Researchers study the effects and efficiency of two mandates, a renewable share mandate and a carbon intensity standard, with and without a cost containment mechanism.
This project collects and evaluates lifecycle data for critical hydrogen renewable pathways. It also evaluates potential supply & demand for hydrogen as a vehicle fuel.
