LEAVING OIL

“We should not cling to crude down to the last drop – we should leave oil before it
leaves us. That means new approaches must be found soon… The really important
thing is that even thou we are not yet running out of oil, we are running out of
time.” Fatih Birol, International Energy Agency

LEARNING CENTER OVERVIEW

The CALSTART Learning Center - both the multi-media displays at its headquarters in Pasadena, California and on the website - tells a story. It tells the story about clean transportation, the technologies, fuels, and systems and why they are important. It tells the story about CALSTART and its mission and role in developing a clean transportation technologies industry to develop solutions that address the global need for clean air, energy security, and reducing the threat of climate change. Finally, the CALSTART Learning Center tells about the companies whose actions are making clean transportation a reality.

LEARNING CENTER CONTEXT

The CALSTART Learning Center story provides context in

The Need for Change: The Need for Change makes the case for why action is needed and the global challenges which the clean transportation industry seeks to address. The challenges which are faced by the world and the clean transportation industry – clean air, energy security, and climate change

Multiple Paths Forward: Multiple Paths Forward shows the multiple ways governments and industry are attempting to address global transportation energy challenges including efforts at the petroleum reduction through vehicle fuel efficiency, clean, efficient technologies, clean fuels, low carbon fuel standard, and a polyfuel approach to transportation energy, clean innovative and integrated transportation systems

Eaton Introduces Electronic Fuel Vapor Management Valve for Hybrid EVs Electric

3/4/2010 12:00:00 AM

Eaton’s Hybrid Fuel Tank Isolation Valve enables fuel vapor containment within the tank until the engine is available and prevents canister saturation and hydrocarbon leakage. The design allows for quick tank venting, minimizing refueling ‘splash-back’ caused by high fuel tank pressures...

Eaton Corporation has introduced an electronic fuel vapor management valve for hybrid-electric vehicles that manages fuel vapor pressure contained within the fuel tank, increasing safety and enabling automakers to meet strict emissions regulations. The new system is expected to be in production vehicles by 2012. [More…]
