Argonne releases new cradle-to-grave lifecycle analysis of US LDV vehicle-fuel pathways

Green Car Congress

The 2022 report accounts for a broader range of vehicle technologies and considers both current (2020) and expected future (2030-2035) conditions. The GHG emissions evaluation was carried out by expanding and modifying Argonne’s GREET model suite (2020 version) with inputs from industrial experts. Fuel production pathways considered.

Lux: frack water market to grow nine-fold to $9B in 2020

Green Car Congress

The market for water treatment for hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”) to produce previously inaccessible shale gas will grow nine-fold to $9 billion in 2020, according to a new report from Lux Research. GasFrac, with technology licensed from Chevron, uses high-pressure propane, rather than high-pressure water, to fracture gas wells.

Hydrogen from biomethane; gasoline & diesel from tree residue; cellulosic ethanol among new proposed California LCFS fuel pathways

Green Car Congress

The LCFS is a regulation to reduce the carbon intensity (CI) of fuels sold in California by 10% by 2020. Ensyn, Tesoro and Chevron are designing a commercial process to produce renewable gasoline and diesel from the co-processing of Renewable Fuel Oil (bio-oil) obtained via pyrolysis of tree residues.

Clearing the roadblocks to electrification of heavy-duty trucks

Charged EVs

[This project is currently at the stage of conducting grid readiness assessments.] So we set out to show the industry what needed to be done so that the Flying Js, the Chevrons, the BPs of the world would understand that this needs to be built and that they had some support in doing so. They just don’t operate that quickly.

The View From Here Today

Creative Greenius

We Californians are very proud of our state’s Global Warming Solutions law, AB 32, that mandates greenhouse gas emissions to be reduced to 1990 levels by the year 2020. I volunteer with GRID Alternatives installing solar panels on low income and Habitat for Humanity houses. That’s about a 25% reduction.
