Australian-German business coalition releases roadmap for large-scale green hydrogen import to Germany

Green Car Congress

The green hydrogen roadmap developed by the Taskforce consists of a 10-point plan and a White Paper and is intended to outline a constructive pathway forward in Germany for business and government. The roadmap could potentially serve as an example for other nations looking for solutions.

Amminex City-SCR upgrade delivers gaseous ammonia for improved SCR conversion of NOx; avoiding high off-cycle emissions

Green Car Congress

The technical reason for these high “off-cycle” NO x emissions is poor NO x conversion efficiency of installed SCR systems when exhaust temperature is low. The ammonia gas is stored in solid AdAmmine material, packaged in cartridges, and is released upon heating using electric energy and/or the engine coolant. Source: Amminex.

California Hydrogen Business Council says a robust P2G RD&D program should be a priority for the state

Green Car Congress

The case for using Power-to-Gas solutions to store renewable energy is compelling for a number of important use cases, according to a new white paper released by the California Hydrogen Business Council (CHBC). Power-to-Gas concept. The duck curve. It looks like the profile of a duck.).

MECA report finds additional NOx emission reductions from new heavy-duty trucks achievable and cost-effective

Green Car Congress

It is important to state that there are several technology paths to achieve these levels of emissions, and some of them can simultaneously lower greenhouse gas emissions, such that the NO x reductions do not compete with the CO 2 reductions.

MECA report assesses technology feasibility for heavy-duty diesel trucks to meet lower NOx standards by 2024

Green Car Congress

The MECA assessment is based on the implementation timeline presented by CARB staff at a January 2019 public workshop as well as the assumptions laid out in the CARB staff white paper released in April 2019. g/bhp-hr and a low-load cycle limit below 0.2 The cost of controlling NO x to 0.05 g/bhp-hr in 2024 and to 0.02

Study finds GHG emissions associated with palm oil production have been significantly underestimated; implications for carbon intensity of biofuels as well as biofuel policies in Europe

Green Car Congress

A new study on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with the conversion and degradation of peatland in palm oil plantations in Southeast Asia has determined that past studies have generally significantly underestimated emissions associated with palm oil grown on peatland. Southeast Asia.

Yet another CARB ZEV meeting

Plugs and Cars

Davids said CARB's resource allocation has favored fuel cells and hydrogen over plug-in electric by 75% to 25%, based on conversations with Legislative Director Jay Friedland. Friedman sent an email immediately for the record clarifying the conversation with Ms. Chair Mary Nichols said that isn't true.
