An Investigation into the Influence of LPG (Autogas) Composition on the Exhaust Emissions and Fuel Consumption of 3 Bi-Fuelled Renault Vehicles

Development of the auto gas and LPG-powered vehicle sector in Turkey: A statistical case study of the sector for Bursa

“…In addition, LPGpowered vehicles produce less pollutants by their exhausts in comparison with gasoline-and diesel-fueled vehicles, which encourages some countries to use it; for example, about 60% less CO, 30% less HC and 20% less NO x in comparison with gasoline (Pulkrabek, 1997). These results have also been confirmed by different published works (Snelgrove et al, 1996;Klausmeier and Billick, 1993;Wu et al, 1996;Newkirk et al, 1996;C -elik et al, 2006;C -evik, 1998;Diaz, 2000). Ristovski et al (2005) tested some vehicles using unleaded gasoline and LPG at different vehicle speeds and found out that carbon dioxide and particular emissions in vehicles with LPG are lower than the other types of fuels.…”

Performance of an evaporator for a LPG powered vehicle

“…It is generally accepted that the emissions from a LPG powered vehicle are less than those from the gasoline fuelled equivalent. One such study by Snelgrove et al [3] stated that over the European Test Cycle at 25°C, an LPG operated vehicle provided substantial benefits of reduced emissions compared to unleaded reference gasoline. Hydrocarbon (HC) emissions were reported as 40% lower, carbon monoxide (CO) as 60% lower and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) as substantially reduced, principally due to the high hydrogen/carbon ratio of LPG when compared to gasoline.…”

One-Step Process for the Production of BTEX and LPG-like fuel from Pentanediol

“…LPG (C 2 –C 5, primarily propane and butane) is a versatile fuel that can be used for heating, cooking, and power generation. LPG combustion produces lower emissions (i.e., hydrocarbons, CO, CO 2 , and NO x ) in comparison to coal, diesel, and gasoline. , In addition, LPG is easier and cheaper to liquefy, store, and transport than biogas . LPG could be produced from biomass-sourced syngas and CO 2 ; but undesired byproducts, such as polynuclear aromatics and oxygenates, and the energy-intensive biomass gasification processes were unavoidable. − Furthermore, high operating pressures and multiple reaction steps to obtain intermediate molecules were required. − Thus, a simple method to produce LPG from biomass has yet to be proven.…”
