In both electric- and hydrogen-favoring cases, availability of low-carbon electricity and hydrogen prolonged the use of petroleum-fueled ICE vehicles. For example, the study found that the availability of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology has a major impact on the lowest cost passenger vehicle fuel and technology choice.

As the world grapples with the pressing issue of climate change, it is evident that we need swift action to avert its worst impacts. Finally, technology is also making EVs more eco-friendly, and as our energy grid switches to use more renewable sources like wind and solar power, EVs become even better for the environment.

It is an unpalatable truth that unless we can succeed in greatly reducing CO 2 emissions we are headed for a very uncomfortable and challenging climate future, and geoengineering will be the only option left to limit further temperature increases.

Lead author Kharecha and colleagues note that current climate science indicates that atmospheric CO 2 concentrations, already at 387 ppm in 2009 and rising, need to be reduced to no more than 350 ppm. Readily available reserves of oil and gas are sufficient to take atmospheric CO 2 to at least 400 ppm.

Stuart Licht ( earlier post ) have developed a new process that transforms CO 2 into a controlled selection of nanotubes (CNTs) via molten electrolysis; they call the process C2CNT (CO2 into carbon nanotubes). This is a powerful economic incentive, rather than economic cost, to mitigate climate change through a carbon negative process.

This heating from the melting Arctic will grow significantly over the coming decades, projected to more than double by 2100 when expressed in CO2 equivalents. The loss of heat-reflecting sea ice and snow results in the absorption of more solar energy leading to warming. By 2050, this number rises to a cumulative range of $2.4

Here are some of the key advantages of electric vehicles: Environmental Benefits: EVs produce zero tailpipe emissions, meaning they do not release pollutants like carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter, and other harmful gases into the atmosphere. Energy Efficiency: EVs are more energy-efficient than ICE vehicles.

And it produces almost all its electricity from hydro and solar.
