Researchers describe the “where” and “when” of life cycle emissions from gasoline and ethanol in the US

Green Car Congress

The area along the Kentucky/Virginia border extending into West Virginia experiences a reduction in PM 2.5 emissions owing to reduced coal mining activity caused by excess electricity generation in biorefineries which is sold to the electrical grid and assumed to offset electricity produced elsewhere. —Tessum et al.

DOE Selects 19 Projects to Monitor and Evaluate Geologic CO2 Storage

Green Car Congress

Coal supplies nearly 50% of domestic electricity. In order for low-cost electricity from coal-fired power plants to remain available, the DOE said, economical methods for capturing and storing the greenhouse gas emissions from these plants must be developed. The projects’ total value is approximately $35.8

DARPA SubT Finals: Meet the Teams

Cars That Think

We are excited to see how the combination of vastly large spaces available in Mega Caverns can be combined with very narrow cross-sections as DARPA promises and vertical structures. In Kentucky we have been busy updating all of the robots to the same standard and repairing bits of shipping damage before the Subt Final. Follow Team.
