EEA reports sharp decrease in CO2 emissions of new cars in Europe in 2020

Green Car Congress

The provisional data are available through the EEA’s data viewer on CO 2 emissions of new cars and new vans. New car emissions were increasing as recently as two years ago, but the sharp drop last year shows that carmakers respond to CO2 standards. million new vans registered in Europe in 2020 with average emissions of 157.7

ArcelorMittal Europe to produce “green steel” starting in 2020

Green Car Congress

Ultimately to reach zero, this hydrogen will need to be green (produced via electrolysis which is powered by renewable electricity). ArcelorMittal is therefore developing new facilities to produce green hydrogen using electrolyzers. First verified green steel for customers.

Project HyTime demonstrates potential for major CO2 savings from hydrogen dual fuel

Green Car Congress

More than 14 tonnes of CO 2 was saved in a two-year trial involving just 11 urban trucks and vans running on green hydrogen dual fuel. When the vehicles were not using hydrogen in their day to day operations, the principal reason was the lack of available refueling facilities.

Audi and Krajete developing direct air capture technologies for CO2

Green Car Congress

AUDI AG and the Austria-based green tech company Krajete GmbH are jointly developing new technologies for filtering emissions from ambient air. The recovered CO 2 is then available in a highly concentrated form as a raw material for permanent storage or for a wide range of industrial applications.
