EIA: CO2 emissions from US power sector have declined 28% since 2005

Green Car Congress

US electric power sector CO 2 emissions have declined 28% since 2005 because of slower electricity demand growth and changes in the mix of fuels used to generate electricity, according to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA). If electricity demand had continued to increase at the average rate from 1996 to 2005 (1.9%

AirCapture, OCOchem and partners win $2.93M DOE grant for direct air capture of CO2 and conversion to formic acid

Green Car Congress

OCOchem transforms recycled CO 2 , water and zero-carbon electricity to produce formic acid, a globally traded commodity chemical and emerging electro-fuel. Nutrien, one of the world’s largest fertilizer manufacturers, has committed to achieve at least a 30% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions per ton of Nutrien’s products by 2030.

T&E concludes that diesel cars emit more CO2 on a full lifecycle basis than gasoline cars

Green Car Congress

In Europe, the car market is skewed in favor of diesels through regulation and tax policies. T&E attributed Europe’s diesel share to three main causes: Distorted national fuel and vehicle taxes. Diesel fuel is taxed between 10% and 40% less than gasoline in most countries. —T&E study. Accounting for production emissions.

Lessons From Norway’s Journey To Becoming The Global Leader In EV Adoption

Wallbox

Norway leads electric vehicle (EV) adoption, boasting the highest share of new EV purchases worldwide. To learn from its experience, let’s look back through Norway’s 30-year journey to becoming an EV giant: it all started with a mission to curb the country’s CO2 emissions. Curbing CO2 Emissions with Electric Transport.

Stanford team proposes method for electricity production from oil shale with in situ carbon capture to provide transportation energy with reduced CO2 emissions

Green Car Congress

Electricity generation in subsurface provides the heat requirement for retorting. These emissions estimates raise a question: is the energy content of shale effectively “off limits” in a GHG constrained world, or is there a way to extract the stored chemical energy from oil shale with greatly reduced CO2 emissions? electricity.

UK has reached 1 million BEVs, but incentives still recommended: SMMT

Teslarati

The United Kingdom (UK) has surpassed an important milestone for battery-electric vehicle (BEV) sales, now reaching over one million BEVs on the country’s roads. This would result in a reduction of more than five million tonnes of CO2 in that time, putting the country on track to reach two million BEVs in the next two years.
