ICCT life-cycle analysis finds no climate benefit in using LNG as marine fuel

Green Car Congress

The results of a new analysis by the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) show that, when combined with a trend toward higher methane leakage and combustion slip, there is no climate benefit from using liquefied natural gas (LNG) as a marine fuel—regardless of the engine technology. —Pavlenko et al.

Volkswagen Group continues switch to low-emission logistics with order for four more LNG ships

Green Car Congress

Volkswagen was one of the first car manufacturers to subscribe to the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement that aim to limit global warming to significantly less than two degrees by 2050. Only unavoidable emissions are offset by climate protection measures. This has resulted in an 85% reduction in CO 2 emissions (well-to-wake).

CritMET team examines distribution of germanium and gallium in deep-sea crusts

Green Car Congress

In 2020, 66% of global germanium production came from China; for gallium, Chinese market dominance is even greater at 97%. One way to secure the global supply of critical raw materials could be deep-sea mining. They are thus essential components for shaping electromobility and the energy transition. 2021.05.019.

New study on Holocene conundrum suggests need for reexamination of both proxy data and climate models

Green Car Congress

In an open access paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences , researchers from the US, China and Europe re-examine the “Holocene conundrum”—a contradiction between the results of reconstructed data records and model-based climate simulations. Data from observation says global cooling.
