TL;DR: The Fischer-Tropsch (F-T) catalytic conversion process can be used to synthesize diesel fuels from a variety of feedstocks, including coal, natural gas and biomass as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: A substantial data set that incorporates results from the West Virginia University transient engine test cell, the E-55/59 Study and the Gasoline/Diesel PM Split Study is presented, which covered 75 heavy-duty diesel engines and trucks and emitted less idleCO, HC, and PM, which could be attributed to the efficient combustion and superior fuel atomization in EFI systems.

TL;DR: In this article, a semi-trailer incorporating a chassis rolls dynamometer and a second trailer containing the necessary emissions and controls equipment is used for testing methanol, diesel, jet fuel and natural gas powered buses.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a study of transit bus life cycle cost (LCC) analysis, and projected transit bus emissions and fuel economy for 2007 model year buses, and present these data in units of dollars per bus mile and dollar per bus seat mile.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the emissions performance of the diesel and NG units, and compared results from the two laboratories, and found that oxides of nitrogen and particulate matter (PM) emissions were substantially lower for the natural gas buses than for the diesel buses.
