DNV GL paper suggests near-term success for LNG in shipping; alternative fuel mix to diversify over time

Green Car Congress

Well-to-Propeller GHG emissions results for marine alternative fuels. DNV GL has released a position paper on the future alternative fuel mix for global shipping. The global merchant fleet currently consumes around 330 million tonnes of fuel annually, 80-85 per cent of which is residual fuel with high sulfur content.

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

The cost-effectiveness of measures to address climate change is enhanced through a multisector perspective. Primary energy sources in model include fossil fuels (crude oil, natural gas, and coal); non-renewable non-fossil sources (nuclear); and renewable sources (hydroelectric, wind, solar, and biomass).

How EVs Are Reducing Carbon (CO2) Emissions

Blink Charging

As the world grapples with the pressing issue of climate change, it is evident that we need swift action to avert its worst impacts. Finally, technology is also making EVs more eco-friendly, and as our energy grid switches to use more renewable sources like wind and solar power, EVs become even better for the environment.

Royal Academy of Engineering study examines future lower-carbon ship powering options

Green Car Congress

The report reviews a range of short-, medium- and long-term technologies and examines the advantages and limitations of systems from solar and wind power, through fuel cells to nuclear propulsion. Biofuels are potential medium-term alternatives to conventional fuels for diesel engines. Medium- to long-term options.

Using the PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle) to Transition Society Seamlessly and Profitably From Fossil Fuel to 100% Renewable Energy

Green Car Congress

The alternative-fuel car evolved to reduce exhaust emissions and other problems derived from burning fossil fuels. The PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle), a subset of the electric car, combines a primary electric motor with a much smaller back-up engine fueled with a hydrocarbon/biofuel mix. Conclusions. slow charge.
