The conversion of the power station in Wolfsburg from coal to gas will reduce CO 2 emissions by 1.5 That makes individual mobility affordable and usable for the mainstream in the future as well. Volkswagen’s goal is to enable an industrial level of production with this technology together with its partner QuantumScape.

Energix Research executed the GTL process via the syngas and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis route at a high conversion rate (87%) and selectivity rate (99%). Energix expects to develop affordable, micro GTL plants to monetize underutilized resources, such as abandoned natural gas fields, coal bed methane (CBM) fields, flared gases, etc.

and “Is your electricity bill reasonably affordable?” The second reason is that the grid we have is built out to places where there were coal mines and hydropower dams, not where there’s the best wind and sun. A year ago, we weren’t even having this conversation. Sounds like increasingly you must model how society works.

In the US, a combination of demand reduction and displacement of coal-fired power by gas-fired generation is the lowest cost way to reduce CO 2 emissions by up to 50%. At least for the near term, that would entail facilitating energy demand reduction and displacement of some coal generation with natural gas.

The team suggests that SuperButol is thus a viable and affordable gasoline component, which can help to meet future demands for high-octane gasoline. Overall single pass conversion is 14 vol%. As a result, SuperButol could provide another practical and affordable option to produce higher octane gasolines in the future.

Yeah, they can afford it. THE HOLY GRAIL OF SOLAR: $3 A WATT, CHEAPER THAN COAL. But I think a big part of that was Moore’s law and things becoming really affordable. I know these them, I lived in Japan I know these people, I’ve sat and had conversations with them. And at sub $3 you’re cheaper than coal.

If the US military increases its use of alternative jet and naval fuels that can be produced from coal or various renewable resources, including seed oils, waste oils and algae, there will be no direct benefit to the nation’s armed forces, according to a new RAND Corporation study.

economy away from dependence on fossil fuels like petroleum, coal and natural gas to 100 percent carbon-free electricity by 2035. Affordability is expected to be just one highly contentious issue: Who, exactly, is going to pay for grid upgrades? Such is the case with the Biden Administration’s attempted transition of the U.S.

Biofuel projects are going to have trouble getting financing from Wall Street this year because all of them have questions about the long term pricing of petroleum; most of them have concerns about the pricing stability of their feedstocks; and many of the cellulosic projects have concerns about the conversion technologies.

Several after-market companies have done PHEV conversions of the Ford Escape hybrid and one has done a retrofit of the F-150 pickup -- see Where PHEVs Are and ICE-Conversions.) Kwong said Toyota is concerned PHEVs might just replace gas problems with more coal emissions, since the cars will require more electricity from utilities.

Put simply, this little-known upstart has accelerated ahead of its much bigger rivals in the race to build an affordable electric car. " BYD can afford to hire lots of them because their salaries are only about $600 to $700 a month; they also get subsidized housing in company-owned apartment complexes and low-cost meals in BYD canteens.
