Alberta publishes report assessing non-combustion uses for bitumen, opens $2M call for projects

Green Car Congress

Following a 2017 report that identified potential products that could be made from Alberta oil sands bitumen, this new study identifies the top potential uses to help Alberta diversify its economy outside of conventional fuels and chemical feedstocks.

How clean is EV battery manufacturing?

Electric Auto Association

This is 2 to 3 times lower than the 150-200kg of CO2eq estimate measured by the same researchers in 2017. This 2017 study has been used by anti-EV commentators to discredit the climate performance of EVs. When EV batteries degrade enough to be unsuitable for cars (about 70% capacity remaining), they are re-used for electricity storage.
