The EU could slash truck carbon pollution by more than a fifth (22%) in a decade by requiring its main cities to have electric truck charging infrastructure, according to a new study released by European environmental NGO Transport & Environment (T&E). Electric trucks are clean, cheaper to run and available today.

An 80% reduction in US greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050 has been generally established as the de facto required domestic contribution to stabilizing global concentrations at low to medium levels, that is, 450 and 550 ppm carbon dioxide equivalent (CO 2 -equiv).

But this goal cannot be achieved with efficiency measures and a modern fleet alone. Some of the alternative fuels available today can already help significantly reduce emissions with minor or no modifications to engines and infrastructures. These synthetic fuels can be produced from renewable energies and carbon dioxide.

A program like this also continues to move us toward a carbon free economy by enabling higher levels of renewable generation to be integrated with the grid. To support powering the fleets, Electrify America is installing charging stations with ultra-fast chargers to power each service. —SMUD CEO and General Manager Arlen Orchard.

A handful of bidirectional-capable EVs are available today, and automakers are quickly implementing the technology. Charged : Does Nuvve provide just V2G implementation, or do you also offer a comprehensive fleet charging-as-a-service solution? In Denmark, we’ve done all those light-duty fleets. That’s significant.

Tackling road transport energy use is vital to enhancing energy security and reducing carbon dioxide emissions globally. Even though most of the key fuel economy technologies are available today, additional breakthroughs and cost reductions would help, including lighter materials, advanced combustion systems and better lubricants.

On the one hand, a shift to natural gas is promoted as climate mitigation because it has lower carbon per unit energy than coal or oil. On the other hand, methane (CH 4 ), the prime constituent of natural gas, is itself a more potent GHG than carbon dioxide (CO 2 ); CH 4. This would eventually be offset by a modest benefit.

The combination of harvesting whole forests and burning long-sequestered carbon sources such as coal or oil has impaired the Earth’s carbon cycle at an increasing pace. To restore balance we must protect the oxygen-producing biomass of Earth and reduce the amount of carbon emissions. But use of petroleum will continue.
