David, check this link out: http://www.microturbine.com/applications/hybrid.asp
They have the emissions data there. It looks like it has a 70% reduction in emissions, added with biodiesel that would be another 70-90% for B100 of the left over 30, so let's say maybe a PZEV for the application that it serves. How CA classifies PZEV's I think is based on application; ie. larger applications (busses, heavy equipment, etc.) would get a larger allowance for emissions. Has anyone read the PZEV guidelines and can clarify? BTW, the Capstone Microturbine alone is rated a ULEV propulsion system by the CARB.
