How to calculate greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles?
To determine annual greenhouse gas emissions per mile, the following methodology was used: carbon dioxide emissions per gallon of gasoline were divided by the average fuel economy of vehicles to determine carbon dioxide emitted per mile traveled by a typical passenger vehicle.
How does EPA test cars?
Vehicles are tested on a dynamometer under standard test cycles designed to account for various driving conditions, including city, highway, and aggressive driving, as well as cold and hot weather conditions. More information on regulations covering vehicle testing procedures.
How much fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions?
A typical passenger vehicle emits about 4.6 metric tons of CO2 per year. This assumes the average gasoline vehicle on the road today has a fuel economy of about 22.2 miles per gallon and drives around 11,500 miles per year. Every gallon of gasoline burned creates about 8,887 grams of CO2.
How do you measure greenhouse gas emissions?
One of the best-established ways to measure greenhouse gas concentrations is called nondispersive infrared, or NDIR, spectroscopy. An NDIR spectroscopy measurement starts by sucking air into a tube. An infrared lamp shines light into the tube at one end, and the light is measured at the other.
