T&E finds city e-truck charging could cut road freight emissions by 22% in 10 years; requires €28B for charging infrastructure

Green Car Congress

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). These trips could be covered today by electric trucks, ?thanks

Reaction Design introduces model fuel library resulting from work of Model Fuels Consortium

Green Car Congress

Fuel properties affect a number of combustion and engine properties, including ignition delay; knocking tendency; flame speeds; pollutant emissions; sooting tendency and particle size distributions; and density, viscosity and heating value. We’re already working to spread it across the HPC environment. —Bernie Sanders.

Researchers develop four-step catalytic process to produce petroleum refinery feedstocks from biomass sugars

Green Car Congress

This will help eliminate the expensive hydrotreatment processes downstream in the petroleum refineries, and reduce combustion-related air pollutants, the researchers noted. These waste hemicellulose sugars are among the most inexpensive biomass feedstocks that are available today, they noted. hydrocycloaddition).

Automakers agree on common plug to recharge electric vehicles

Tony Karrer Delicious EVdriven

I mean, when the electricity it uses is produces, pollution still happens, just not "right from your car"? Apr 19th 2009 4:54PM Or fuel cells (ex: hydrogen). Now where to get that pesky hydrogen. Nuclear waste is a problem much harder to solve than CO2, and dams have quite an impact in the environment. yay same plug!
