Coltura: Federal & state EV policy & incentives must target gasoline superusers to achieve carbon emissions goals

Green Car Congress

The report, “Gasoline Superusers,” presents the data available on drivers in the top 10% of gasoline consumption—the so-called “gasoline superusers.” Louisiana, Wyoming, and Mississippi are the states with the highest concentration of superusers, while Houston, Detroit, St.

EIA releases report on CO2 emissions by state; California led in 2010 with transportation-sector emissions

Green Car Congress

Energy-related CO 2 emissions buy state, 2010. The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) has released a new report, State-Level Energy-Related Carbon Dioxide Emissions, 2000-2010. The report shows a significant variation of energy-related carbon dioxide emissions across states on both an absolute and a per capita basis.

DOE-sponsored drilling projects demonstrate significant CO2 storage at three sites

Green Car Congress

Evaluation-related test drilling at geologic sites in three states that could store a combined 64 million metric tons of CO 2 emissions—an important component of carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) technology development—has been completed in projects supported by the US Department of Energy (DOE).

ICCT study finds state EV incentives playing a significant role in driving sales

Green Car Congress

A stepwise regression analysis shows that the most effective incentives are subsidies; carpool lane access; and emissions testing exemptions initiatives. The study compared the total monetary benefit available to consumers through US state incentives to electric vehicle sales in those states in 2013. per year in recent years.

The Case for EV Charging in Every City - Big or Small

EV Connect

This increase in demand is in line with a growing public realization of the need to cut greenhouse gas emissions drastically. That makes charging station availability crucial. Department of Energy study of electric vehicle infrastructure found a significant shortage of fast-charging (DCFC) station availability across the country.

Study finds global rivers and streams emitting 3x IPCC estimates of the GHG N2O

Green Car Congress

Scientists report in an open access paper this week in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) that river and stream networks are the source of at least 10% of human-caused nitrous oxide emissions to the atmosphere. This new global emission estimate is startling. Beaulieu et al. PNAS doi: 10.1073/pnas.1011464108.

DOE Selects 19 Projects to Monitor and Evaluate Geologic CO2 Storage

Green Car Congress

The US Department of Energy (DOE) has selected 19 projects to enhance the capability to simulate, track, and evaluate the potential risks of carbon dioxide storage in geologic formations. Researchers will develop systems for tagging CO 2 with carbon-14 at atmospheric level (1 part per trillion) and measuring the carbon-14 CO 2 levels.
