Greyrock, Tsinhua U, DRI to assess potential of synthetic diesel to improve air quality in China

Green Car Congress

Synthetic fuels may be used for other practical applications such as cooking and domestic heating, potentially resulting in up to 100 times less particulate emissions than coal fired stoves. Tsinghua, a leading university in Asia, will lead the efforts to carry out the vehicle emission modeling in Beijing.

Perspective: The UN Approval Process for Carbon Offsets

Green Car Congress

According to a report by the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the margin of error in measuring emissions by DOEs can be as high as: 10% for the cement and fertilizer industries; 60% for the oil, gas, and coal industries; and. Each SABMF has a production capacity of five million gallons per year of fuel-grade ethanol.

Solar Smackdown in Torrance – Installer Sues City on Behalf of the Sun

Creative Greenius

Just two people live in its 3000+ energy-wasting square feet. It’s just this mind-blowing waste of time. THE HOLY GRAIL OF SOLAR: $3 A WATT, CHEAPER THAN COAL. At $3 a watt, as soon as people grasp what that means, at $3 a watt you’re sub-ten year payback for a 40 year product. And at sub $3 you’re cheaper than coal.
