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

Green Car Congress

This corresponds to the emissions of more than 89,900 km driven by a diesel truck and represents 85% of CO2 savings compared to a traditional diesel engine. To fight against climate change, the transport sector needs true decarbonization. The logistics industry is currently responsible for 11 percent of global carbon emissions.

EU GRAMOFON project ends after 42 months with promising results on CO2 capture

Green Car Congress

The project results therefore contribute to Sustainable Development Goal 13 on Climate Action of the UN Global Compact through decarbonization with the major advantage of doing so at a lower cost than the technologies currently in use.

Tesla powers Eneco’s largest battery project

Teslarati

Eneco, an energy producer in the Netherlands, is relying on Tesla to power its biggest battery project to date, which will be used to “more efficiently balance Belgium’s electricity grid” and is expected to be operational in 2024. This project is an important step for us towards a CO2-neutral energy system in 2035.”

Study suggests that decarbonizing US transport sector by converting waste CO2 to fuels would require economical air-capture of CO2

Green Car Congress

Kreutz presented the paper at the 10 th International Conference on Greenhouse Gas Control Technologies ( GHGT-10 ) earlier this fall in The Netherlands. Kreutz used what he called a bifurcated climate regime—i.e., In CCTF, the source of CO 2 determines the net carbon intensity of the fuel, Kreutz says.

Scania finds driving with two full length trailers cuts fuel consumption by 30%

Green Car Congress

Based on research conducted over the last six years, Scania Transport Laboratory has shown that by driving with two full-length trailers, Scania reduces fuel consumption by up to 30%. Another step is now being taken to show how heavy vehicles can reduce climate emissions to 20 grams per tonne-kilometer. meters (103.3

PBL/JRC: Global CO2 emissions increase to new all-time record in 2013, but growth is slowing down

Green Car Congress

Global CO 2 emissions from fossil fuel use and cement production reached a new all-time high in 2013, according to the annual report “Trends in global CO2 emissions”, released by PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency and the European Joint Research Centre (JRC). in 2013, increasing its share in transport fuels by 0.3
