How EVs Are Reducing Carbon (CO2) Emissions

Blink Charging

Unlike internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, EVs emit no direct emissions when running on electricity. The upstream, “well to wheel” emissions of the EV are linked to electricity generation and the electrical grid, with lower emissions in regions that use more renewable energy sources. Let’s not forget our carbon footprint.

Can the World’s Largest Cruise Ship Really Be Climate-Friendly?

Baua Electric

is because ships are switching from steam turbines to dual-fuel internal combustion engines. They are more fuel efficient, but emit large amounts of unburned methane to the atmosphere in the form of ‘methane slip’ from the engine,” he said, pointing to I.C.C.T. research that predicts demand for L.N.G.

Opinion: Debunking the mythsWhy fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) are viable for the mass market

Green Car Congress

Whilst hydrogen today is extracted from natural gas and is already a global, multi-billion dollar industry used in a wide range of industrial applications, it is also produced from renewable sources like solar, wind or biogas without the need to use fossil fuels. Of course, this also has the merit of producing so-called “green hydrogen”.
