Novel adaptation for existing blast furnaces could reduce steelmaking emissions by 88%; closed-loop carbon recycling

Green Car Congress

This reduction is achieved through a closed-loop carbon recycling system, which could replace 90% of the coke typically used in current blast furnace-basic oxygen furnace systems and produces oxygen as a byproduct. The perovskite can be regenerated to its original form in a chemical reaction that takes place in a low oxygen environment.

EPRI-NRDC report finds widespread vehicle electrification and a cleaner grid could lead to substantial cuts in GHG by 2050

Green Car Congress

Use of electric vehicles would achieve greater reductions in GHG emissions, corresponding to the rate that the electric grid becomes cleaner, through greater reliance on renewables and low- and non-emitting generation. This research points to the importance of two fundamental and parallel trends in energy and the environment.

How the Electric Vehicle Revolution Is Changing the World

Clean Fleet Report

More countries are setting aggressive targets to phase out internal combustion engines and replace them with EVs. Many of these were built around the fact that the cars were internal combustion engines (ICE). EVs can lower emissions, reducing the amount of harm done to the environment.
