In the early 2000s, Salasoo shifted his focus to developing technology for clean energy transportationnamely for hybrid-electric buses, locomotives, and mine trucks. From 1995 to 2001 he was director of EdNet@UMass , a Web-based professional development network at the University of Massachusettss College of Education.
The study demonstrates the success of California’s air pollution control programs, regulations, enforcement efforts and clean-air plans in regions with the greatest air quality challenges: Southern California and the southern Central Valley. The MISR instrument used in the study was initially designed to help understand Earth’s climate.
Alberta, Canada’s Climate Change and Emissions Management (CCMEC) Corporation is awarding more than C$37.5 One compliance option is to pay into the Climate Change and Emissions Management Fund at $15/tonne. is a privately owned Alberta corporation formed in 2001 to design, build and operate biogas cogeneration facilities.
Carbon intensity has dropped 23% from the peak in 2001, and declined an average of 1.9% tons per person in 2001 to 12.0 The Air Resources Board is also tracking short-lived climate pollutants (methane, black carbon, fluorinated gases) and plans to release a strategic plan to reduce these pollutants later this year.
The state’s latest Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory shows that California emitted 429 million metric tons of climate pollutants in 2016—a drop of 12 million metric tons, or three percent, from 2015. They fell 23% from a peak of 14 metric tons per person (roughly equal to driving 34,000 miles) in 2001 to 10.8
Since 2001, the USPS has operated 30 electric two-ton vehicles on the streets of New York City, and these were later joined by a pair of two-ton hybrid electric vehicles in Long Island. The cap-and-trade program also creates a financial incentive for industries to invest in clean technologies and develop innovative ways to reduce pollution.
The on-road transportation (ORT) and power generation (PG) sectors are major contributors to CO 2 emissions and a host of short-lived radiatively-active air pollutants, including tropospheric ozone and fine aerosol particles, that exert complex influences on global climate. database) from another global inventory for the year 1996.
Since the early 2000s, the Korean government and industry have sought actively to shift the country’s energy use patterns by focusing more on advanced technology R&D and clean energy initiatives. —Alexander Ochs, director of Worldwatch’s Climate & Energy program. From 2001 to 2010, the rate dropped to 0.03%.
Our relationship started about a month ago when we spent an evening together carpooling to a UCLA workshop on communication climate change that we both participated in. I began our interview by asking Lillian about the early days of EPN which she helped found in 2001. What was your environmental priority in 2001 and what is it today?
The two areas suffer from some of the worst air quality in the country due to a number of factors, such as meteorology, geography, climate and weather. EPA said that the air districts are making steady progress toward meeting the 0.08 ppm standard. There have been vast improvements in air quality in California over the previous decades.
Integrated energy-economy-environment (3E) modeling for clean vehicle development in China. This project will develop a model to simulate and evaluate the impacts of renewable energy policy on the economy and the environment, and to apply the model to provide policy suggestions for clean vehicle development and deployment in China.
Thirteen environmental groups working on clean transportation solutions sent a letter to the United States Postal Service (USPS) urging it to select plug-in electric vehicles (EVs) for the next generation of delivery vehicles (NGDV). Safe Climate Campaign. The USPS fleet travels more than 1.3 Environmental Law and Policy Center.
The gap between official and real-world fuel-economy figures in Europe has risen to about 38%, according to a new report published by the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT). The data show that for private cars, the difference between on-road and official CO 2 values rose from around 8% in 2001 to 31% in 2013.
The average gap between official fuel consumption figures and actual fuel use for new cars in the EU has reached 42%, according to the latest update by the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) to its on-going research into vehicle fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions.

Our initiative aims to drive forward the commercialization of the UK’s unique fuel cell expertise which will play a crucial role in the UK’s Clean Tech Revolution both cutting carbon and creating jobs and economic value. —Dr Dr Robert Trezona, Head of Research and Development at the Carbon Trust.
I contributed the following to the World Wildlife Climate Witness site last week and it was published this morning. What we’re not breathing is clean air, because the smoke from the La Canada-Flintridge fire, about 38 miles from here, is still making air quality hazardous and people in the L.A.
The ZEV regulations, which are now part of California’s comprehensive Advanced Clean Cars (ACC) program which also includes the LEV III tailpipe emissions standard, is the “technology-forcing piece” of the state’s regulatory package for light-duty vehicles.
The International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) is a US-headquartered think tank with offices globally. It’s been around since 2001. continued] The post ICCT’s Hydrogen For Aviation Perspective Is Deeply Wrong As Well appeared first on CleanTechnica.
Among the findings of the report, “HFC-134a phase-out in the Chinese light-duty motor vehicle sector”, was that, considering the social cost of CO 2 e, up to 1 trillion RMB in costs (US$150 billion) required to address climate change could be avoided through 2050 by transitioning to low-GWP alternative MACs. relative to HFC-134a and 98.6%
And what’s working for the Greenius and Mrs. Greenius will work for the rest of America, even the little brain people who aren’t sure if climate change is man-made or not and probably even the Stepford brainwashed pod people who think Al Gore is a bad man. And that kind of vision makes us powerful.
As the climate change crisis goes from bad to worse (while the deniers get nuttier and more cult-like with each passing day) and Australia gives Californians an advanced sneak preview at what is without a doubt headed our way sooner than you expect , your Creative Greenius has only gotten more Fired Up, Ready to Go! The Greenius in Yosemite.
As we’ve noted before , a lower-power version of it was published back in 2001, specifying charging hardware interface and coupler system. The SAE standard for this is called J1772. Artificial Moore’s Law for Cleantech: Renewable Standards, by Steps : [.] version, with cell phones and mobile devices.
Westbrook, 2001 "Gasoline to Electric Conversion Manual: A Workshop Guide for High Schools", published by the Electric Vehicle Society of Canada, July 2005 "History of the Electric Automobile: Hybrid electric vehicles", by Ernest H. 1 Point Reyes EVs Did You Know? com Vigil to save last remaining 78 EV1 cars www.pluginamerica.com/saveev1.htm
SB 100 accelerates the existing renewable energy targets to 60 percent RPS by 2030, and requires retail energy sellers to plan, model, and invest over the next 28 years to reach the 100% clean, zero carbon, and renewable energy target. Brian Dahle – (916) 319-2001 – [link]. This is a critically important effort.
The goal of the U-M/SJTU Collaborative Research Program in Renewable Energy Science and Technology is to develop new technologies that reduce global carbon emissions and their impact on climate change. In 2001, U-M became the first non-Chinese academic institution approved to offer graduate engineering degrees to students in China, at SJTU.
People were really interested in clean air and clean water, so I decided there would always be interest in the environment,” Crawford says. Environmental Protection Agency , in implementing the 1970 Clean Air Act , was struggling to establish baselines for air-quality levels, she says. “To
Finally, I was doing something that could really make a dent in climate change. “Well, I confess, I still go to a gas station regularly—to clean my damn windows,” says my friend and fellow Plug In America co-founder Ron Freund. “I haven’t paid for electricity for my house or my EV since 2001,” he says.
Robert O Grady suggests that the standards, which are designed to address climate change and reduce dependence on imported energy, ignore the criteria air pollutants currently regulated under the Clean Air Act such as smog, particulate matter, carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and lead.
