Geely supporting Danish initiative on e-methanol with vehicle trials in Aalborg

Green Car Congress

Through Power to X (PTX), the conversion of renewable energy to other usable forms, green e-methanol is an optimal solution for Denmark to store excess renewable power, stabilize its national power grid, and produce a sustainable carbon neutral renewable fuel.

Study finds all-electric rideshare fleet could reduce carbon emissions, but increase traffic issues

Green Car Congress

They used the model and the data to estimate the life cycle air pollution, greenhouse gas, and traffic externality benefits and costs of serving rides based on Chicago TNC trip data from 2019 to 2022 with fully electric vehicles. A paper on their work is published in the ACS journal Environmental Science & Technology. —Mohan et al.

Fraunhofer analysis finds battery-electric trucks have energy cost advantage over hydrogen trucks

Green Car Congress

This is because hydrogen trucks have a decisive disadvantage: only about a quarter of the output energy flows into the drive, three quarters is lost through conversion losses. They exceed the purchase costs many times over. With the e-truck, the ratio is reversed.

Why gas stations should add EV chargers?

Setec Powerr

With Shell’s recent conversion of its Fulham fueling station to the first-of-its-kind electric charging hub, forecourts and retailers have some serious questions to address if they want to continue to remain alive and competitive. Charging centers are public charging stations designed for fast charging.

SoCalGas & UC Irvine show power-to-gas technology able to boost use of intermittent renewable energy significantly

Green Car Congress

A 5% blend of hydrogen in SoCalGas’ natural gas system would provide storage capacity equivalent to $130 billion worth of battery systems if purchased at the US Department of Energy future cost of $200 per kilowatt hour. The conversion of renewable electricity to hydrogen enables long-term storage of large amounts of carbon-free power.

Energy storage: the key to a decarbonised future

Setec Powerr

Energy storage with hydrogen, which is still emerging, would involve its conversion from electricity via electrolysis for storage in tanks. According to a recent study by Bloomberg NEF (BNEF), the cost of lithium-ion batteries will be significantly reduced in the coming years — beyond even the 85% reduction that occurred from 2010 to 2018.

The Complex Calculus of Clean Energy and Zero Emissions

Cars That Think

Jenkins has also helped push Congress to think more seriously about the power grid, releasing a report last year that showed that much of the 43 percent emissions reduction expected by 2030 would be squandered if the United States doesn’t double the pace of transmission upgrades. power-grid transmission.
