Global energy-related carbon dioxide emissions can be reduced by 70% by 2050 and completely phased-out by 2060 with a net positive economic outlook, according to new findings released by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) and the International Energy Agency (IEA). Click to enlarge.

US data centers are projected to consume an estimated 140 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity per year by 2020, equivalent to the annual output of about 50 power plants, emitting nearly 100 million metric tons of carbon pollution per year, according to a study by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC).

PTF processes essentially use renewable energy, CO 2 and water to produce fuel, as in Audi’s targeted e-fuels projects. The last blend—a suitable n-alkane cut mixed with OME 3-5 —has the greatest potential for increasing engine efficiency and reducing pollutant emissions. Earlier post.) Schemme et al.

The proposal calls for what’s known as “solar geoengineering”: cooling the planet by deflecting sunlight that would otherwise strike the planet. Little is known about how, or whether, solar geoengineering might work and how the particles would react and move in the stratosphere. There were nearly 40 million such flights in 2019.

In 2017, Japan became the first country in the world to release a national hydrogen strategy. That makes it incredibly energy inefficient and results in a lot of extra pollution. Still, we’ve seen how renewable energy sources (similarly championed as green) have had trouble creating enough electricity.

So now I’m only giving them till 2017 to get out of town. I turn 60 in 2017 and this will be a present I’m getting myself. They know as I do that we should turn that 750 oily acre into a clean, renewable solar power generating station. Now we’ll find out if they even know that school is in session.

Billed by some as a “bridge fuel” away from more pollutive energy sources, natural gas produces significantly fewer carbon dioxide emissions than oil or coal.

A large part of this potential comes from six relatively standardized categories: solar and wind energy; efficient appliances; efficient passenger cars; afforestation and stopping deforestation.

In September 2017 , Hurricane Maria devastated Puerto Rico. The winds had barely died down when electric-power specialists and others began calling for a radical overhaul of Puerto Rico’s electricity networks, one that would emphasize renewable energy, distributed generation, and, critically, microgrids.

Val Miftakhov got into the EV game in 2010 when he founded eMotorWerks, which created an innovative smart charging solution and was acquired by the Enel Group in 2017.
