We are in a good position to transform the global energy system but success will depend on urgent action, as delays will raise the costs of decarbonization. Primary CO 2 emissions reduction potential by technology in the Reference Case and REmap, 2015-2050. —IRENA Director-General Adnan Z. Click to enlarge. Click to enlarge.

AQDSH 2 refers to the reduced form of AQDS. Wide-scale utilization of flow batteries is, however, limited by the abundance and cost of these materials, particularly those using redox-active metals and precious-metal electrocatalysts.

A continuing sharp decline in technology costs—particularly in solar but also in wind—meant that every dollar invested in renewable energy bought significantly more generating capacity in 2014. A key feature of the 2014 result was the rapid expansion of renewables into new markets in developing countries.

Second, PHEVs with smaller battery packs are more likely to deliver emissions benefits and reduced gasoline consumption at lower lifetime cost compared to those with large battery packs in the short term. Fourth, CO 2 prices as high as 100 $/t do not provide sufficient incentive for vehicle electrification.

References I first came across the Boston Arm when I was researching Norbert Wiener’s “hearing glove,” a device to help people who are deaf and hard of hearing interpret sound waves. Cost was one major hurdle. The Utah Arm, the only commercially available myoelectric alternative to the Boston Arm, had a full fitting cost of $20,000.

The price of ethanol relative to gasoline and crude oil were key determinants of the relative costs of the various finished fuels. The team also found that average US refining costs would be about 1.6¢/gal The additional refining costs in the E10/E85 cases stem from what they called “octane give-away” in E85—i.e.,

Expects production around 2014. Plug-in hybrid electric vehicle technologies are not yet competitive due primarily to the high cost of advanced batteries. Ford and SCE will explore whether these batteries have other uses that could reduce their cost to consumers. The target is to come in at the price of a midmarket car.

Cantwell said that cap-and-trade had been discredited by the Wall Street crisis, the Enron scandal and the rocky start to a carbon credits trading system in Europe that has been subject to dizzying price fluctuations and widespread fraud. The total amount of pollution allowances sold may not exceed 188 million tons per year through 2014.
