Dr. Cheol-Heon Jeong (left) and Professor Greg Evans (ChemE) measured emissions from gasoline direct-injection engines and evaluated climate trade-offs of the more efficient engine type. It turns out greater efficiency doesn’t always mean greener for the planet. (Credit: Tyler Irving).

Think a more fuel-efficient engine is the green choice? Maybe not

July 13, 2016

U of T Engineering researchers show that new breed of fuel-efficient engines may emit lower levels of C02, but more climate-warming black carbon
