FAA approves Alcohol-to-Jet biofuel

Green Car Congress

Both fuels use various sources of renewable biomass such as municipal solid waste, agricultural wastes and forest wastes, wood and energy crops. These fuels can also be made from fossil resources such as coal and natural gas. These new fuels will help the aviation industry meet its climate change goal of carbon neutral growth.

Study Finds Availability of Low-CO2 Electricity and Hydrogen May Paradoxically Delay Large-Scale Transition to Electric and/or Hydrogen Vehicle Fleet

Green Car Congress

For example, the study found that the availability of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology has a major impact on the lowest cost passenger vehicle fuel and technology choice. The cost-effectiveness of measures to address climate change is enhanced through a multisector perspective. Wallington et al.
