CO2 and Methane Emissions Continued Rise in 2008 Despite Economic Slump

Green Car Congress

million tons of methane in the atmosphere at the end of December 2008. Think of the atmosphere and oceans taking in greenhouse gases as a bathtub filling with more water than the drain can empty, and the drain is very slow. Methane levels rose in 2008 for the second consecutive year after a 10-year lull. David Hofmann.

Honda Plans to Launch Hydrogen Vehicle Using FCEV Technology

Electric Vehicles India

We introduced the FCX Clarity sedan in 2008. The only byproduct of this process is water, making FCEVs a zero-emissions vehicle option and emitting only water vapor. It starts with renewable energy and using water electrolysis technology, electricity produced by using renewable energy sources is converted into green hydrogen.
