Eastern Pacific Shipping, OCI & MAN partner to develop methanol & ammonia as marine fuels; retrofits and newbuilds

Green Car Congress

This means we have a responsibility to implement emission-lowering solutions available today while simultaneously developing solutions for tomorrow. In the meantime, developing ammonia-fueled conversion and newbuilding projects will help develop more mature zero-carbon solutions in the longer-term.

Audi survey finds more than half of US drivers would support government initiative to spur diesel vehicle sales

Green Car Congress

Government has set very rigorous standards for future fuel economy, and we believe that clean diesel is perfectly positioned to help us achieve those goals. Audi believes there are a variety of viable alternative fuel solutions, including electric, but diesel is readily available today. We need to level the playing field.

Deloitte Survey finds only 4% of global consumers likely to be satisfied with current EVs despite increasing consideration and willingness to buy; higher ICE fuel economy reduces interest in EVs

Green Car Congress

Consumers’ expectations around the performance and purchase price of electric vehicles are so divergent from the actual offerings available today, that no more than 2–4% of consumers worldwide would have their expectations met, according to a new survey from Deloitte. Click to enlarge.

Study suggests current levels of methane leakage would result in numerous decades of more rapid climate change from a shift to natural gas vehicles

Green Car Congress

Their TWP approach extends the standard GWP calculation in two ways: by combining the effects of CH 4 and CO 2 emissions from technology-fuel combinations and by considering streams of emissions in addition to single pulses. —Alvarez et al. This would eventually be offset by a modest benefit.
