New study finds GHG emissions from palm oil production significantly underestimated; palm oil biofuels could be more climate-damaging than oil sands fuels

Green Car Congress

Based on visual interpretation of high-resolution (30 m) satellite images, a new study in the journal Global Change Biology: Bioenergy determined that industrial plantations covered over 3.1 That number is in my opinion conservative, and consistent with a slight reduction in the rate of peat conversion.

EU NELLI project delivers new generation solid-oxide fuel cell; efficient and lower cost

Green Car Congress

In an SOFC electrolysis system, fuel cells convert excess power from renewable generation to turn water into hydrogen, addressing intermittency and storage issues for wind and solar. Companies and research organisations from Estonia, Finland, Italy, Sweden, Belgium, Germany and the UK were involved. NELLHI received €1.6 million (US$1.9
