Coal consumption is projected to peak in the mid-2020s, largely driven by China’s move towards cleaner, lower-carbon fuels. Renewables are projected to be the fastest growing fuel source, growing at an average rate of 7.6% Renewables are projected to be the fastest growing fuel source, growing at an average rate of 7.6%

Production of renewable diesel bioblendstocks through reductive etherification of alcohols and ketones. The first-of-its-kind continuous catalytic process was designed to reduce production costs relative to batch chemistry, the prior state-of-the-art technology.

Propane is a cleaner burning fossil fuel, yielding 87% less hydrocarbons and 50% fewer toxins than gasoline, and is more economical compared to petroleum-based options, roughly 40 to 50% less than gasoline/diesel per gallon, although less attractive on a cost per energy equivalent basis due to its lower energy content.

It offers the solution to several significant transitions we need: moving society from burning fossil fuels to substituting renewable resource fuels such as solar, wind and biofuels; and from using fossil materials as fuel to using them for other recyclable uses. How PHEV provides Smooth Transitions from fossil fuel to renewables.

Other policies, such as a tax on the carbon content of fossil fuels, could focus on low-cost reductions in emissions outside the transportation sector. Another option suggested in the report is increasing the federal excise tax on sales of gasoline, which would tend to reduce gasoline use and emissions. Cultivate local PEV clusters.

Even on land, getting oil from tar sands depletes water and other resources and doubles oil’s carbon footprint. That means we’ll be powering some miles with increasingly renewable electricity that isn't made from imported oil. We have cleaner, cheaper, safer ways to drive everywhere. More about that in a moment.

Algenol is also working with PNNL, National Renewable Energy Laboratory, and Georgia Tech on development of higher-value green chemical production concepts. Broad deployment of this technology, with its low-carbon footprint, can contribute to CO 2 emission reduction targets and lower dependence on fossil fuel resources.

The legislation would also provide new incentives for domestic oil and gas drilling, nuclear power plant construction, carbon capture and storage, and renewable energy sources like wind and solar. Support for this use of allowance value stems from the idea that the climate-regulating services of the atmosphere are a common property resource.
