Understanding the Building BlocksAromatics PAHs UFPs SOAs
• 2012 Maricq/Ford study confirms E30+ blends reduce Particulate Matter (PM) emissions by 45%
• Honda Study and Predictive Model Index (PMI) – UAI applies PMI to Texas consumer fuels data set for RFG and conventional gasoline markets
• New publications – UAI supported with AVL/Ford• SAE 2013-01-1124; Fuel Property Effects on
Particulates in SI Engines• SAE 2013-01-1635; Overview of Effects of
Ethanol-Gasoline Blends on SI Engine Performance, Fuel Efficiency & Emissions
Status of Science and Data
Average Results from 46 Fuel Samples from a 2011 State of Texas Market Survey with a PMI of 2.17
Upper 5% of gasoline by distillation
• GHG Rule (2012)• PM 2.5 Rule (2012)• Tier 2 to Tier 3 Rule (Proposed) (2013)• Mobile Source Air Toxics Rule (???)
• Five items regulated under Section 202 MSAT (order of potency-weighted)• 1-3,butadiene• benzene• POM/PAHs• formaldehyde • acetaldehyde
• How do POM/PAHs fit in above regulations?
Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990
3
Automobile Industry• Requesting higher octane• Minimum 87 octane nationally• Needs harmony in standards• Needs a fuel to match engine
technology for GHG Rule
Ethanol Industry• Access to the market• RVP extension• Market growth which promotes
investment in commercial cellulosic production
USEPA• Reduce regulated emissions• Address and reduce PM/PN/BC• Reduce CO2 per mile• Modernize certification fuel for
marketplace realities
Consumers• Cost competitive fuel options• Cleaner urban air for families
Refiners• Fuel quality improvements within
existing refinery configurations• Value chain opportunities
Win/Win for All Stakeholders
