Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

In the fight against climate change, many countries have pledged to reduce their CO2 emissions to net zero. Unlike today, the future will see a climate-neutral world where energy will primarily be electricity from photovoltaics, wind turbines, and hydroelectric power plants. Why all the hype about hydrogen?

The specific reduction depends on improvements in internal combustion engine (ICE) technologies, as well as changes in the electric power generation fuel mix. The medium electric transportation scenario is based on the AEO High-Tech Battery case, but with strategic alterations developed by the project team.

Strickland: So we’ll get into some of these super tech details in a little bit. There’s a few areas like, for example, the power grid, that we have a good understanding of how we can actually decarbonize it. But before we get to those, let’s do a little basic tutorial on the climate science here. Is that how you think about it?

Electric Car Manufacturers Inspire New Paradigms -- Seeking Alpha

Tony Karrer Delicious EVdriven

The electricity for recharging has to come from somewhere, which means power plants. Depending upon where you live, power plants are often burning natural resources. The true impact of electric vehicles should consider the make-up of the power grids where these cars will be used. We have oil!
