Battery electric vehicles are only as clean as the energy source used to generate the electricity that powers them. These results indicate that coal and oil are the energy sources leading to most emissions, and that hydro, wind, and nuclear are the energy sources leading to least emissions. from coal. New Mexico.

The US Department of Energy (DOE) awarded $19 million for 13 projects in traditionally fossil-fuel-producing communities across the country to support production of rare earth elements and critical minerals essential to the manufacturing of batteries, magnets, and other components important to the clean energy economy.

Annual US power generation from wind turbines declined in 2023 for the first time since the mid-1990s – here’s why. gigawatts (GW) of new wind capacity last year, but data from the US Energy Information Administration’s “ Power Plant Operations Report ” show that US wind generation in 2023 totaled 425,235 gigawatt-hours (GWh) – 2.1%

Executives also cited solar (31%), wind (25%), advanced, cleaner coal technologies (17%), biodiesel (10%), and chemically stored electricity (batteries and fuel cells) (8%) as alternative energy sources that would see increased R&D investment. Even batteries and fuel cells have entered the conversation.

However, US coal shipments, which are primarily via rail, decline slightly. The renewables share, including hydro, also increases from 18% in 2018 to 31% in 2050, driven largely by growth in wind and solar generation. Freight rail ton-miles grow by 20% during the same period, led primarily by rising industrial output.

Improved energy storage technologies will allow for expanded integration of renewable energy resources like wind and photovoltaic systems and will improve frequency regulation and peak energy management. The selected projects include advanced battery systems (including flow batteries), flywheels, and compressed air energy systems.
