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

Green Car Congress

CO 2 and NO x certification test data for heavy-duty diesel engines certified from 2002 through 2019. 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.

Toyota opens CES with strong affirmation of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles; “staggering” rate of cost reduction; FCV on sale in US in 2015

Green Car Congress

Fuel cell electric vehicles will be in our future sooner than many people believe, and in much greater numbers than anyone expected. ”. Increasing the voltage has made it possible to reduce the size of the motor and the number of fuel cells, leading to a smaller system offering enhanced performance at reduced cost. We love batteries.

EPA researchers suggest US electricity consumers should be willing to pay 2-4x for emission-free alternatives to fossil fuel electricity due to health impacts

Green Car Congress

US consumers of electricity should be willing to pay, on average, $0.24–$0.45/kWh—approximately 2002), respectively. They provide figures based on state electricity profiles, national averages and fossil fuel type. For coal, oil, and natural gas, respectively, associated economic values of health impacts are $0.19–$0.45/kWh,
