Rolls-Royce introducing completely integrated MTU marine hybrid propulsion systems as of 2020

Green Car Congress

The propulsion systems will also be made available for yachts, work boats, ferries and patrol boats in a power range extending from around 1,000 kilowatts to 4,000 kilowatts per powertrain. Rolls-Royce is planning to test a new MTU hybrid system incorporating Series 2000 engines in a yacht in 2019.

MIT study finds real-world NOx from diesels cars in Europe greatly exceeds laboratory levels; transboundary emissions cause 70% of health impacts

Green Car Congress

A new study by MIT researchers, published this month in Atmospheric Environment , finds that in Europe, 10 major auto manufacturers produced diesel cars, sold between 2000 and 2015, that generate up to 16 times more NO x emissions on the road than in regulatory tests—a level that exceeds European limits but does not violate any EU laws.

ICCT study confirms feasibility of implementing IMO Tier III NOx standards using SCR; fuel efficiency gains as well

Green Car Congress

It is the only technology currently available to achieve compliance with the IMO’s Tier III NO x standards for all applicable engines. The study estimated costs of technology application using a model produced by the International Association for Catalytic Control of Ship Emissions to Air (IACCSEA).

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.
