	Zero-emissions vehicle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although not considered an emission by the CARB definition, carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas implicated in global warming scenarios.
		Note that "zero emissions" does not mean that the complete power cycle is non-polluting, except in special cases, since in most cases the energy is provided from fossil fuel plants.
		Special cases producing zero pollution in the operating energy cycle would include electric vehicles where an offsetting amount of zero emissions power is provided, especially solar electric or wind generated power.

	About ZERO — Zero Emission Resource Organisation
		ZERO therefore believes it is vital that new vehicle, energy and industry facilities are based on non-polluting alternatives.
		ZERO has shown, and will continue to show, that all energy and transport services as well as all energy and transport needs can be provided without emissions.
		ZERO consists of people who are active and important within the Norwegian environmental movement; they are people involved in many areas concerning the environment.

	Zero-emission processes \| Business tools \| Strategies & tools \| BSDglobal
		The concept of zero emissions is based on improving technologies and processes to the point of maximum resource productivity and virtually no waste.
		Zero emissions may appear an unrealistic objective, yet it is a proven and profitable goal.
		The 'Zero Emissions Research Initiative' (ZERI), developed at the United Nations University in Tokyo, has as its goal 'zero global emissions, zero water waste, zero solid waste, and zero waste in the air'.

	Sales Tax Exemption - Zero Emission Motor Vehicles - NJ Taxation
		Legislation enacted in January, 2004 provides a sales tax exemption for zero emission vehicles (ZEVs), which are vehicles certified pursuant to the California Air Resources Board zero emission standards for the model year.
		The exemption is NOT applicable to partial zero emission vehicles, which includes hybrids such as the Toyota Prius and Honda Civic Hybrid.
		Thus, the exemption is applicable to the sale, rental or lease of a new or used zero emission motor vehicle on and after May 1, 2004.

	California Zero Emission Vehicle Regulations - Position Statement
		The report states ".unreported toxic emissions from refineries exceed the combined toxic emissions from steel mills and blast furnaces." The report also found that these emissions were roughly equivalent to 1.1 million new cars based on US EPA regulations.
		To insure maximum emission and health benefits from ZEVS, electricity used to power ZEVs should be generated from the cleanest possible sources, such as alternative fueled, renewable or low-emission sources of electricity.
		This fuel economy and emissions advantage translates to both reduced ozone, particulates and TACs produced from the vehicle and from the refinery.

	Partial zero-emissions vehicle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle (PZEV) is an administrative category within the U.S. state of California for low emission vehicles.
		The vehicles constructed to meet the PZEV requirements are called Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicles (SULEVs).
		In order to qualify as a PZEV, a vehicle must meet the SULEV standard and, in addition, have zero evaporative emissions from its fuel system plus an extended (ten-year/150,000-mile) warranty on its emission-control components, which incidentally covers the propulsion electrical components of a hybrid electric vehicle.

	Zero Emission Coal
		Zero Emission Coal technology is technology for generating electricity from coal without emissions to the air. It is being developed with the intent to use mineral carbonation for disposal of the carbon dioxide produced, although, technically, any form of sequestration would be possible for use.
		The research is being lead by the Los Alamos National Laboratory together with the Zero Emission Coal Alliance (ZECA) Corporation, although they are not the only ones in the field.
		Air emission standards need not be considered since nothing is vented to the atmosphere and no extra effort is required to do so.

	The EnviroLink Network - Zero Emission Pledge
		Zero Emission Pledge is a campaign to spark a clean, sustainable zero emission vehicle (ZEV) marketplace with a pledge to make your next new vehicle purchase a ZEV.
		Zero Emission Pledge offers consumers and organizations the ability to band together with a common objective of creating demand for ZEVs with a boycott of oil consuming vehicles.
		While efforts to improve emissions with increased fuel efficiency such as hybrid vehicles, are a steps in the right direction, with the reality of current ecological and consumer trends, we need giant leaps today to help diffuse the global warming trend.

	California's Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Program
		Originally, the ZEV program required that 2 percent of new vehicles produced for sale in 1998 and 10 percent of new vehicles produced for sale in 2003 would be zero emission vehicles.
		Despite continuing auto company complaints, the ZEV program has been very effective in pushing the development of less-polluting automotive technologies. Advances in electric drivetrain components and battery storage have made possible the introduction of hybrid vehicles and are contributing to the development of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, which also utilize an electric motor and drivetrain system.
		They emit no pollution from the tailpipe and can be zero emission from their power source if they recharge using clean, renewable energy. Fuel cell vehicles powered by hydrogen fuel are currently in the development stages and will also qualify as true ZEVs.

	NOW. Science & Health. Air Wars - California's Auto Emissions Laws \| PBS
		In late August 2003, the EPA effectively announced that it would not regulate greenhouse gas emissions from motor vehicles by signing a notice denying a petition to regulate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from motor vehicles under the Clean Air Act (CAA).
		The biggest involves 11 states, 14 environmental groups and two cities that filed suit in 2003, arguing that EPA should be regulating greenhouse gas emissions from new vehicles.
		The plaintiffs argues that as greenhouse gas emissions from cars are largely a byproduct of their fuel economy, regulating emissions like carbon dioxide would indirectly require automakers to improve fuel efficiency significantly.

	Near-Zero Emission Engines ... On Gasoline?
		In the early 1990s, it was widely believed that a change to alternative fuels would be required to achieve the mandate for ultra-low emission vehicles (ULEV) established by the state of California.
		The California Air Resources Board now lists more than 90 gasoline-fueled car models that meet the ultra-low emission vehicle standard for the 2002 model year and six that meet the Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV) standard, with more expected to be added during the coming year.
		The next rung down the emissions ladder includes SULEVs, which have far fewer tailpipe emissions -- meeting standards that allow about one-fifth the smog-forming hydrocarbon gases and less than one-tenth the nitrogen oxide emissions of the ULEV standard.

		A zero emission society cannot be reached only by means of technological solutions (although their importance cannot be disregarded), but will require a significant reshaping of life and activities.
		Advanced tools such as GIS are being used to map sample areas, investigate land quality and favor the riorganization of activities towards zero emissions clusters.
		Therefore, it is important to monitor the emissions of industrial, domestic and transport sources and suggest appropriate renewable sources of energy for the decrease of gas emission.
