EEA: increase in EU GHG emissions, mostly due to transport, hampers progress towards 2030 targets

Green Car Congress

OCTOBER 28, 2018

It is published yearly by the EEA to take stock of the EU’s and Member States’ progress in meeting their climate and energy targets, which includes reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 20% compared to 1990 levels by 2020 and at least 40% by 2030. In the EU Emissions Trading System, emissions from stationary installations increased by 0.2%

DECEMBER 18, 2022

Through a €500 million pan-European effort, an exascale supercomputer called JUPITER (Joint Undertaking Pioneer for Innovative and Transformative Exascale Research) will be installed sometime in 2023 at the Forschungszentrum Jülich , in Germany. Even as supercomputers get faster and larger, they must work harder to be more energy efficient.

Ricardo investigating potential for its split-cycle engine in large engine market

Green Car Congress

JUNE 23, 2016

In a poster-session paper presented at CIMAC Congress 2016 in Finland, Ricardo described the use of this split-cycle concept in high- and medium-speed engines for power generation to achieve efficiencies of 60% from units of 1–30 MW mechanical output. CCGT units of > 250 MW are achieving 55-60% brake thermal efficiency (BTE) at full load.

FEBRUARY 19, 2014

However, the team cautions in their paper in Energy Policy , descriptive analyses indicated how country-specific factors such as government procurement plans or the target recipient of subsidies can significantly affect the adoption rate. Of those, charging infrastructure was the best predictor of a country’s EV market share. Sierzchula, W.,
