Plug-in hybrids emit many times the claimed CO2, test suggests

Green Car Reports

Plug-in hybrids may emit more carbon dioxide (CO2) than their manufacturers claimed, even when fully charged, European environmental group Transport & Environment (T&E) claims. T&E recently tested current-generation plug-in hybrid versions of the BMW 3 Series, Peugeot 308, and Renault Megane.

Researchers demonstrate efficient electrochemical reduction of CO2 to C2+ alcohols

Green Car Congress

Electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) is a promising approach to solve both renewable energy storage and carbon-neutral energy cycle. In order to improve the economic feasibility in applications, electrocatalytic CO 2 reduction with high activity, selectivity, and stability toward multi-carbon products should be realized.

Study: Synthetic fuels cost more money and cause more CO2 emissions vs. batteries

Green Car Reports

As buzz around synthetic fuels builds, the Europe-focused environmental group Transport & Environment (T&E) cautions that vehicles burning these supposedly greener fuels may cause more carbon-dioxide (CO2) emissions than battery-powered vehicles, and cost more as well.
