La quantité d'émissions polluantes que dégage un véhicule automobile dépend À LA FOIS de la technologie du véhicule et de la formulation du carburant. Depuis les débuts de la réglementation sur la pollution automobile, l'industrie a investi des milliards de dollars dans la recherche pour réduire les émissions polluantes. Les émissions d'hydrocarbures (HC) ont ainsi été réduites de 98 %, celles d'azote (NOx), de 90 %, et celles d'oxyde de carbone (CO), de 96 %. 2, record 4, French, - %C3%A9missions%20contribuant%20au%20smog

Cogeneration : A portion of the steam produced would be diverted to the refinery to serve an existing steam load and as a result the refinery may be able to shut down some older utility steam boilers. The cogeneration feature of this project would make the project more efficient and may provide offsetting emission reductions. Other thermal integration projects are being evaluated by the proponent at this time. 1, record 5, English, - thermal%20integration

Avec l'apparition de nouvelles générations de centrales électriques à haut rendement et fortement intégrées, l'optimisation poussée du design des réseaux d'échangeurs devient une nécessité. Les techniques d'optimisation systémique, fondées sur l'intégration thermique, permettent de répondre à ce problème, particulièrement sensible dans le cas des nouveaux cycles IGCC (Cycle combiné à gazéification intégrée) d'une grande complexité puisque tous les sous-systèmes (gazéification, traitement du gaz, séparation d'air, cycle combiné) sont couplés via le réseau eau-vapeur. 1, record 5, French, - int%C3%A9gration%20thermique

Utility emissions were projected using two models : the Utility Simulator Model(USM), developed and operated by Teknetron Research, Incorporated(TRI), and the Cool and Electric Utilities Model(CEUM) developed and run by ICF Incorporated. Both models are capable of projecting future energy use, by fuel type, for the electric industry, given a baseline energy scenario. The models also calculate the cost of emission controls, emissions and relative cost effectiveness of control, on a dollar per tonne of collected pollutant basis. 1, record 6, English, - Coal%20and%20Electric%20Utilities%20Model
