NASA and DLR to conduct joint flight tests on alternative fuel emissions with focus on ice crystals

Green Car Congress

The focus will be on alternative fuel emissions and the characterisation of ice crystals in condensation trails (contrails), using biofuel as an example. The planned research flights are intended to determine particle emissions and how they affect cloud formation through contrails, thus investigating their impact on the climate.

Bosch highlights hydrogen engine work at bauma; involved in more than 100 technical trials with customers worldwide

Green Car Congress

When driven by green hydrogen, these powertrains are virtually climate-neutral. In addition, the powertrain concept represents an effective complement to fuel cell technology since it requires the same vehicle storage systems and an identical infrastructure. inverter with its integrated DC/DC converter.

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.

DLR wrapping up ECLIF in-flight study of emissions from alternative aviation fuels; potential for improved fuel design

Green Car Congress

In a three-week series of flight tests lasting until 9 October 2015, the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) has been investigating how to reduce the impact of air transport on the climate by using alternative fuels. The Falcon, which is equipped with numerous instruments, follows behind.

Dr. James Hansen Has Something To Tell You

Creative Greenius

This just in from Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi , via her blog (thanks to Joe Romm of Climate Progress ). I strongly encourage Speaker Pelosi to join the Capitol Climate Action civil disobedience protest and get arrested on March the 2nd to show where she stands. Go ahead and march on over, even if it’s cold.

In essence, the program is a critical component of the broader national strategy to combat climate change and promote energy independence. This shift is crucial in the fight against climate change and aligns with broader national and global environmental goals. This includes requirements for the types of chargers (e.g.,
