CV industry gears up for a challenging tech transition; some bet on only two options for industry and govt investment – ET Auto

Baua Electric

Even as CV industry players, including Ashok Leyland launch CNG and LNG trucks, these fuel need not be pushed as that may amount to “just distracting ourselves”. The Union Government’s directive to the industry is also clear – move away from fossil fuels including diesel.

Naysayer Alert – the hydrogen red herring

My Electric Car

There has been much discussion for over thirty years or more around the use of hydrogen fuel cells as an alternative to the internal combustion engine. Fuel cells had been promoted in some sectors as the best alternative to the internal combustion engine.

BASF Develops Method for Industrial-Scale MOF Synthesis; Trials Underway in Natural Gas Vehicle Tanks

Green Car Congress

BASF research scientists have developed a method for solvent-free industrial-scale manufacture of metal organic frameworks (MOFs)— highly crystalline structures with nanometer-sized pores that allow them to store hydrogen and other high-energy gases.

The Case for Nuclear Cargo Ships

Cars That Think

The shipping industry has been trying to cut its carbon emissions for years, and with little to show for it. Nearly all of the world’s ship fleet still runs on diesel fuel, with about a quarter of new ships on order being built to run on somewhat lower-carbon alternatives like liquefied natural gas, methanol, or hybrid propulsion.

Industry Tests Show Bio-Derived Synthetic Paraffinic Kerosene Performs as Well as Petroleum Jet Fuel; Aviation Partners Push for Approval for Use

Green Car Congress

Boeing and a team from across the aviation industry today released high-level elements of a study that shows that sustainable biofuels analyzed in a series of test flights performed favorably in comparison to petroleum-based fuel. Bio-SPK fuel blends had no adverse effects on the engines or their components.

DeCicco: Transportation GHG reduction policy should focus upstream on fuel supply rather than downstream on choice of fuels in vehicles

Green Car Congress

John DeCicco at the University of Michigan argues that to reduce transportation sector greenhouse gas emissions, the proper policy focus should be upstream in sectors that provide the fuel, rather than downstream on the choice of fuels in the automobile. The paper is available from the Social Science Research Network (SSRN).
