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).

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

Green Car Congress

Factors such as size, population density, available fuels, types of businesses, climate, all play a role in both total and per capita emissions, the EIA noted. In terms of per capita emissions, the top emitter was Wyoming (118.5 Topping the list for absolute emissions in 2010 was Texas (652.6 million tonnes CO 2 ); California (369.8

DOE Selects 19 Projects to Monitor and Evaluate Geologic CO2 Storage

Green Car Congress

In order for low-cost electricity from coal-fired power plants to remain available, the DOE said, economical methods for capturing and storing the greenhouse gas emissions from these plants must be developed. Such tagging will better quantify CO 2 monitoring and make it possible to accurately inventory geologically stored carbon.

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

EV Connect

Many experts have set a target of reducing CO2 levels in half by 2030 , and they see a reliance on EVs as a key part of this. 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.
