DOE National Labs

  • National Renewable Energy Laboratory: Advanced Vehicles & Fuels Research
    Summarizes work being done to advance energy-efficient vehicles and environmentally friendly fuels.

  • Oak Ridge National Laboratory: Center for Transportation Analysis

  • Argonne National Laboratory:  Center for Transportation Research

    • The Greenhouse Gases, Regulated Emissions, and Energy Use in Transportation (GREET) Model
      Developed by Argonne National Laboratory, GREET calculates fuel-cycle energy consumption and emissions of greenhouse gases and five criteria pollutants for a given transportation fuel/technology combination. Researchers may input their own assumptions to generate fuel-cycle energy and emission results.

       

    • The VISION Model
      The VISION transportation model has been developed to provide estimates of the potential energy use, oil use, and carbon emission impacts of advanced light- and heavy-duty vehicle technologies and alternative fuels though the year 2050. The model consists of two Excel workbooks: a Base Case of U.S. highway fuel use and carbon emissions to 2050, and a copy of the Base Case that can be modified to reflect alternative assumptions about advanced vehicle and alternative fuel market penetration.
