Invitation   Registration

invitation

Dr. Michael Wang of the Center for Transportation Research at Argonne National Laboratory will present a one-day workshop on the Greenhouse gases, Regulated Emissions, and Energy use in Transportation (GREET) model.

The workshop is sponsored by PTAC and will be held in the EnCana Amphitheatre on September 15, 2008. Space is limited to 50 participants

To fully evaluate energy and emission impacts of advanced vehicle technologies and new transportation fuels, the fuel cycle from wells to wheels and the vehicle cycle through material recovery and vehicle disposal need to be considered. Sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), Argonne has developed a full life-cycle model called GREET It allows researchers and analysts to evaluate various vehicle and fuel combinations on a full fuel-cycle/vehicle-cycle basis.

GREET was developed as a multidimensional spreadsheet model in Microsoft Excel. This public domain model is available free of charge for anyone to use. http://www.transportation.anl.gov/software/GREET/ The first version of

GREET was released in 1996. Since then, Argonne has continued to update and expand the model. The most recent GREET versions are GREET 1.8b version for fuel-cycle analysis and GREET 2.7 version for vehicle-cycle analysis.

What's New in GREET 1.8b?

  • New fuel production pathyways
    • Soybeans to renewable gasoline production
    • Oil sand to pet coke production
    • Pet coke to H2 production
  • Enhancements of existing pathways
    • Updated the shares of Canadian oil sands products in crude oil blend
    • Updated Petroleum refinery processes including H2 from different feedstock sources
    • Updated the calculation of renewable energy use in the production of biofuels from corn and soybean feedstock sources
    • Added missing higher heating values (HHV) for some biofuels and feedstock sources
