UK power crisis – entirely the fault of regulators and ministers

EV Info

We have closed most of the coal plants and several the aging nuclear plants are moving offline as they close for repair of reach end of life. We have a pipeline from Norway and from the Continent. While Boris is in New York pressing world leaders to cut CO2 output here is the UK we find ourselves lacking in CO2.

What is Electrification of Transportation?

Driivz

Globally, the transportation sector contributes about 25% of all CO2 emissions. In Norway , which is the world leader in renewable energy use, 45% of electricity comes from hydropower, while Brazil in second place gets 32% of its total energy supply from biofuel and waste energy. What is the potential for reducing emissions?

CICERO-led study finds global warming effect of leaked hydrogen almost 12x stronger than CO2

Green Car Congress

Unlike exhaust from burning coal and gas that contains CO 2 , burning hydrogen emits only water vapor and oxygen. A study led by Norwegian climate center CICERO has found that the global warming effect of leaked hydrogen is almost 12 times stronger than that of CO 2. The climate effects of hydrogen have been an under-researched topic.

New diamine-appended MOFs can capture CO2 for half or less of the energy cost of current materials

Green Car Congress

That would pave the way for eventual scale-up to capturing CO 2 from natural gas plants, which produce emissions containing about 5% CO 2 , to the higher concentrations of coal-fired power plants. The researchers are also hoping to develop something that might be tested in a submarine. We got lucky.

The Dirty Truth of Petrol & Diesel Vehicles

Plug In India

Shipping is responsible for an estimated 100 crore tonnes of CO2 per year, and 10% of that is shipping oil. Even if electricity is produced from burning coal, the power plant is far away from population centers, transferred over power lines keeping any direct pollution away from the population. In India 39.1%
