Battery electric vehicles are only as clean as the energy source used to generate the electricity that powers them. This brief study analyzes, for each individual state, the changes from 2018 to 2020 in the use of coal (one of the two most polluting energy sources) to generate electricity. by Michael Sivak, Sivak Applied Research.

The study focuses on the period between 2005 and 2018 and tracks combustion emissions of various polluting compounds from various sectors, looking at every state in the contiguous United States, from season to season and year to year. They first obtained emissions data from each of seven sectors for the years 2005, 2011, and 2018.

But if one persistent cadre of nuclear optimists are right, then Linglong One could be a model for fission’s future in an age of clean energy. Still, a steadfast consensus remains that nuclear power isn’t just desirable for a clean-energy transition— it’s necessary.

In an open-access paper in the RSC journal Energy and Environmental Science , the researchers suggest that their study provides a disruptive approach for petrochemical manufacturing, shifting the paradigm from thermal chemical practice to a clean energy regime. Ethylene is one of the largest building blocks in the petrochemical industry.
