IPCC: GHG emissions accelerating despite mitigation efforts; major institutional and technological change required to keep the heat down

Green Car Congress

giga tonne carbon dioxide equivalent (GtCO 2 eq) (2.2%) per year from 2000 to 2010 compared to 0.4 GtCO 2 eq (1.3%) per year from 1970 to 2000. Total anthropogenic GHG emissions were the highest in human history from 2000 to 2010 and reached 49 (±4.5) Estimates of the economic costs of mitigation vary widely.

What to note about EV charger installation?

Setec Powerr

The cost of public charging stations is too high? So the total cost will be around $1000 to $2000. As we said, installing a level 3 charger at home is the highest, you can be sure that the combined cost is more than $10,000. Don’t have an electric car charger near your home? Electrical capacity.

W m -2 relative to 2000. This increase may be as much as one-fifth to one-quarter of the expected increase in radiative forcing due to the buildup of CO 2 since 2000, according to the SRES emission scenarios. By 2050, the buildup of HFCs is projected to increase radiative forcing by up to 0.4 Non-HFC substances.

ExxonMobil Outlook: 35% growth in energy demand by 2040; hybrids to account for ~50% of new vehicle sales

Green Car Congress

Vehicle penetration 2000 to 2040. This slower growth is attributed to the relatively higher cost of the vehicles, driven by the cost of batteries. Most of the energy demand growth in the chemicals sector will be for the feedstocks to make the building blocks for a wide range of essential products. Source: ExxonMobil.

Remembering the Legacy of Trailblazing Technologist Gordon Moore

Cars That Think

Moore is best known for his 1965 prediction, which would become known as Moore’s Law : the observation that the number of transistors on an integrated circuit would grow exponentially while the retail cost of computers would decrease. He became not only a visionary but also our coach, pushing us to build the impossible.

EV Guru: Sodium-Ion Batteries are Coming Sooner Than You think!

Plug In India

By Kamlesh & Raphae Every major automaker has announced plans to build Lithium-Ion battery gigafactories. The aim is to build batteries at a large scale to reduce prices. Tesla, VW, BYD, Ford and others have plans to build giant gigafactories. Also sodium is universally available. It’s ridiculous.

Report finds that total transportation energy demand in California in 2050 could be reduced 30% relative to 2005

Green Car Congress

One of the key findings in the California’s Energy Future Summary Report is that California will likely have limited availability of low-carbon biofuels for use in the transportation sector, because of biomass availability and competing uses for biomass for heat and power (CCST 2011).
