The Case for Nuclear Cargo Ships

Cars That Think

Hedging its bets, the industry is exploring ammonia, batteries, and hydrogen, among other options for powering ships. At the same time, it’s becoming apparent that alternative-fuel solutions we’re looking at have big drawbacks, and that producing these fuels will take a lot of green power that will be needed to replace coal and gas on shore.

Report finds that total transportation energy demand in California in 2050 could be reduced 30% relative to 2005

Green Car Congress

And the remaining non-electrified transport was made as efficient as possible to reduce the amount of liquid fuels needed. This leads to scenarios where light duty vehicles are largely electrified, while aviation, marine and heavy duty continue to rely on liquids fuels. —Yang et al. Realistic case for PEVs.

EIA projects decline in transportation sector energy consumption through 2037 despite increase in VMT, followed by increase

Green Car Congress

Motor gasoline and distillate fuel oil’s combined share of total transportation energy consumption decreases from 84% in 2018 to 74% in 2050 as the use of alternative fuels increases. Light-duty vehicle miles traveled increases by 20% in the Reference case, growing from 2.9 trillion miles in 2018 to 3.5

Inaugural Quadrennial Technology Review report concludes DOE is underinvested in transport; greatest efforts to go to electrification

Green Car Congress

The DOE-QTR defines six key strategies: increase vehicle efficiency; electrification of the light duty fleet; deploy alternative fuels; increase building and industrial efficiency; modernize the electrical grid; and deploy clean electricity. Impartial DOE research can help inform these standards. —QTR.
