The slip in the July-September quarter leaves clean energy investment for the year so far running a modest 2% below that in the first nine months of 2017—leaving open the possibility that 2018 as a whole will end up matching last year’s total, particularly if a few more multibillion-dollar offshore wind deals are concluded before Christmas.

Hydrocarbon-based biofuels made from non-food feedstocks, waste materials, and algae can directly replace gasoline and other fuels. DOE is continuing to pursue the development of these renewable biofuels, with the goal of producing cost-competitive drop-in biofuels at $3 per gallon by 2017.

We need to go back to November 2017, to the start of the ‘Prius Revolution’ in the family. We only drove ’normal’ ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) cars before but those gave me a feeling of always being in a hurry. ICEs are just boring and inefficient in the sense of wasting energy.

The HiUCV is targeted to halve the overall carbon emissions per tonne of waste collected of current best-in-class Refuse Collection Vehicles (RCVs) in the urban environment. A hydrogen fuel cell version of the van is due to be launched in 2017. This will reduce tailpipe CO 2 emissions from 70 g/km to zero.

There has been much discussion for over thirty years or more around the use of hydrogen fuel cells as an alternative to the internal combustion engine. Fuel cells had been promoted in some sectors as the best alternative to the internal combustion engine. So why haven’t FCEV becoming as prolific as other electric cars? Fletcher, S.,
