Haldor Topsoe to build large-scale SOEC electrolyzer manufacturing facility to meet customer needs for green hydrogen

Green Car Congress

SOECs can be thermally integrated with a range of chemical syntheses, enabling recycling of captured CO 2 and H 2 O into synthetic natural gas or gasoline, methanol, or ammonia, resulting in further efficiency improvements compared with low-temperature electrolysis technologies. —Hauch et al.

EC backing away from mandating reduction in carbon intensity of transportation fuels after 2020

Green Car Congress

Among the many provisions, which include a reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 40% below the 1990 level and an EU-wide binding target for renewable energy of at least 27%, is a proposal not to establish a new target for a reduction in the carbon intensity of transportation fuels after 2020. a Low Carbon Fuel Standard.

Argonne releases new cradle-to-grave lifecycle analysis of US LDV vehicle-fuel pathways

Green Car Congress

This analysis builds on a previous comprehensive life cycle analysis, updating that study’s 2016 assumptions and methods. The 2022 report accounts for a broader range of vehicle technologies and considers both current (2020) and expected future (2030-2035) conditions. High production volume is assumed unless explicitly specified.

3.8% drop in EU’s greenhouse gas emissions in 2019; transport emissions rise

Green Car Congress

These data confirm the EEA’s preliminary estimates, published in October 2020. Emissions also decreased in other industrial sectors and residential buildings, the latter due to a warmer winter and lower demand for heating. For road transport, the increase was mostly due to higher gasoline consumption in passenger cars.
