Walz sticking with new auto emissions rules
Governor defends his Clean Cars Minnesota tailpipe emissions rule for 2025 vehicles. Senate Republicans are pressing him to postpone it until 2027 Author: John Croman Updated: 1:15 AM CDT May 22, 2021
ST PAUL, Minn. Republican state lawmakers say they re serious about cutting off funding to the DNR later this summer, and in the process closing state parks, if Gov. Tim Walz doesn t postpone his Clean Cars emissions standards.
It s one of the unresolved issues hanging over State Capitol headed into a June special session, where legislators must pass a two-year, balanced state budget in order to avoid a state shutdown.

Just over 100 days into the Biden-Harris administration, the course being charted by the government for automobile emissions and emerging automotive mobility technologies is becoming clearer. It includes retooling the current approach toward emissions regulations, including the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards and the California Waiver, as well as revitalizing the federal government’s sustainability efforts to achieve or facilitate clean and zero-emission vehicles for federal, state, local, and tribal government fleets. But with new and existing legal and regulatory pitstops along the way, companies attempting to leverage these developments should consider the updates below before shifting into gear.
Petrol engines to require programmed fuel injection
Hybrids and EVs crucial to meeting CAFE norms
With new emission regulations from 2022, passenger vehicles prices set to rise The next round of regulations will kick off with the new Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE 2) rules in April 2022 that will lower the permissible average CO2 levels of any carmaker’s fleet from the current 130g/km to 113g/km. The following year, Real Driving Emissions (RDE) norms will require cars to achieve emission targets even in real world conditions, as opposed to just a laboratory environment. This second phase of BS6 (or BS6.2), then, is set to make the emission limits a lot harder to scale for automakers than before.
Chemical Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) Market Segment Analysis – By Application
By Pass Oil holds a significant growth for chemical enhanced oil recovery market. Bypass oil filtration features a secondary filter with the purpose of eliminating nearly all contaminants from motor oil. Bypass filters have high capacities and eliminate much smaller particles than full-flow filters, including soot. Bypass filters reduce engine wear and increase oil volume, but their high efficiencies mean they also have higher restriction and must be used in conjunction with a full-flow filter.
Chemical Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) Market Segment Analysis – By End Use
On shore segments holds the primary market for chemical enhanced oil recovery market. hydrocarbon gas injection projects in onshore sandstone reservoirs have made a relatively marginal contribution in terms of total oil recovered in Canada and the U.S. other than on the North Slope of Alaska, where large natural gas resources are availab
In recent decades, China’s rapid
economic growth has enabled more and more consumers to buy their own cars. The result has been improved mobility and the largest automotive market in the world but also serious urban air pollution, high greenhouse gas emissions, and growing dependence on oil imports.
To counteract those troubling trends, the Chinese government has imposed policies to encourage the adoption of plug-in electric vehicles (EVs). Since buying an EV costs more than buying a conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle, in 2009 the government began to provide generous subsidies for EV purchases. But the price differential and the number of buyers were both large, so paying for the subsidies became extremely costly for the government.
