2005-01-354 truck car Population of Chinese Cars and Trucks Has Increased by More Than 12 Times in 25 Years
3
The Growth in Chinese Vehicle Population Is Only at Its Beginning
4
Chinese Vehicle Population Could Reach 100 Million by 2020 CATARC 1 CATARC 2 ANL
5
Both Passenger and Freight Traffic Volume Will Increase Dramatically

CSEP Transportation Program Strategy 1.Fuel Economy Standards 2.Vehicle Emissions Standards Urban air pollutantsUrban air pollutants 3.Cleaner Conventional Fuels (e.g., low sulfur) 4.Alternative Fuels 5.Advanced Vehicle Technologies Hybrid Electric, Fuel Cell R&DHybrid Electric, Fuel Cell R&D 6.Bus Rapid Transit Systems
9
Chinese Vehicle Fuel Consumption is Higher Than Many Other Countries 4.9% 24.7% 39.4% 48.4%
10
China Adopted Phase 1 and Phase 2 Fuel Consumption Standards in 2004 2005-01-354

Results: Vehicle Tax Policy Passenger Vehicle Market Share by Engine Size Source: New York Times
14
The Top Three Most Polluted Cities in the World Are Chinese Cities
15
Strengthened Vehicle Emission Standards Require Low-Sulfur Fuels
16
Sulfur Content in Chinese Gasoline and Diesel is Much Higher than in the EU or U.S.

Coal to Liquid Fuels: An Opportunity or a Carbon Risk? China’s coal:China’s coal: –reserves of 200 billion tons –coal resource of 600 billion tons –ultimate coal resource of 1440 billion tons Liquid fuels can be produced from coal viaLiquid fuels can be produced from coal via –Direct liquefaction to gasoline and diesel: requiring high-quality coal –Indirect liquefaction via gasification to: methanol, dimethyl ether, Fitscher-Tropsch diesel, and hydrogen
18
Coal to Liquid Fuels: An Opportunity or a Carbon Risk? Status of liquid fuel production from coal:Status of liquid fuel production from coal: –Methanol: current production of 5 million tons a year –DME: current production 40,000 tons a year –Direct liquefaction: a plant of 3.2 million tons of oil a year to be completed in 2007; 10 million tons possible by 2010 –Indirect liquefaction: Several projects are under consideration Both direct and indirect liquefaction have low conversion efficiencies, resulting in large amounts of carbon emissions during productionBoth direct and indirect liquefaction have low conversion efficiencies, resulting in large amounts of carbon emissions during production –Direct liquefaction makes carbon capture economically infeasible –Indirect liquefaction makes carbon capture and sequestration feasible Captured carbon could be used for enhanced oil recovery in NW ChinaCaptured carbon could be used for enhanced oil recovery in NW China Policy is required for systematic carbon capture and sequestrationPolicy is required for systematic carbon capture and sequestration
