IRENA sees renewable hydrogen at least cost-possible within decade

Green Car Congress

DECEMBER 18, 2020

Hydrogen produced with renewable electricity could compete on costs with fossil fuel alternatives by 2030, according to a new report from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA). The report— Green Hydrogen Cost Reduction: scaling up electrolyzers to meet the 1.5 Source: IRENA.

DOE TEF project finds US can eliminate petroleum and reduce GHG by more than 80% in transportation by 2050; less use, more biofuels, expansion of electricity and hydrogen

Green Car Congress

MARCH 15, 2013

The project identifies possible paths to a low-carbon, low-petroleum future in the US transportation sector, and also looks beyond technology to examine the marketplace, consumer behavior, industry capabilities, and infrastructure. The transportation sector accounts for 71% of total US petroleum consumption and 33% of total carbon emissions.

DHL, Shell and Grundfos Bio-LNG pilot for road freight delivers 85% CO2 savings over conventional diesel

Green Car Congress

NOVEMBER 17, 2021

The logistics industry is currently responsible for 11 percent of global carbon emissions. For us at DHL Freight, sustainable fuel solutions are a key lever to change the fuel mix and ultimately reduce carbon emissions in road freight. To fight against climate change, the transport sector needs true decarbonization.

(OME1 is made from methanol on a commercial scale and has a cetane number of 38; it can be mixed with additives to produce OME1a diesel fuel (CN 48).). In a 2011 study, a team from MAN Truck & Bus noted that: CO 2 can be recycled into methanol by reaction with electrolysis hydrogen. The comparative figure for diesel is 113 g/km CO 2.).

Both proposals have the additional advantage of generating funds which may be used to increase investments in low CI fuel technologies. The LCFS program calls for a 10% reduction in the carbon intensity of fuel sold in California over the next decade. The program is agnostic as to which fuels can be used to meet the Standard.
