These results indicate that coal and oil are the energy sources leading to most emissions, and that hydro, wind, and nuclear are the energy sources leading to least emissions. On the two extremes, coal and oil result in about 176 times the emissions from hydro. Energy source Proportional amount of emissions relative to hydro Coal 175.9

Nearly all of the world’s ship fleet still runs on diesel fuel, with about a quarter of new ships on order being built to run on somewhat lower-carbon alternatives like liquefied natural gas, methanol, or hybrid propulsion. Shipping uses over 300 million tonnes of fossil fuels every year, producing 3 percent of greenhouse gas emissions.

The consortium includes the Idaho National Laboratory of the Department of Energy (DOE), two top US universities, and materials technology firm Media & Process Technology. Plants with electric power output greater than 50% of total energy output that operate on more than 55% coal as a feedstock are ineligible. OriginOil, Inc.,

For example, some states are located near abundant hydroelectric supplies, while others contain abundant coal resources. Partly as a result of that, four of the ten states with the lowest per capita carbon dioxide emissions are consistent importers of electricity: Idaho, California, Massachusetts, and Florida.

MPa enable the system to operate with very high thermal efficiency, exceeding even those of a large coal-generated power plant and nearly twice as efficient as that of a gasoline engine (about 25%). A number of DOE labs, including Idaho National and Argonne National, have contributed to the body of work. Source: Wright et al.
