Gas prices due to drop in 2024, as EVs plug into cleaner energy

Green Car Reports

The cost of gasoline and the carbon footprint of EVs could both fall in the new year. Energy Information Administration (EIA) expects combined electricity generation from solar and wind to exceed coal for the first time in 2024.

Harvard team finds large-scale US wind power would cause warming that would take roughly a century to offset

Green Car Congress

All large-scale energy systems have environmental impacts, and the ability to compare the impacts of renewable energy sources is an important step in planning a future without coal or gas power. In the journal Joule , Harvard researchers report the most accurate modelling yet of how increasing wind power would affect climate.

Gas prices due to drop in 2024, as EVs plug into cleaner energy

Baua Electric

The cost of gasoline and the carbon footprint of EVs could both fall in the new year. Energy Information Administration (EIA) expects combined electricity generation from solar and wind to exceed coal for the first time in 2024. It’s part of a broader shift toward wind and solar that’s been underway for some time.

GlobalData: hydrogen to become game changer as large-scale source of cleaner power

Green Car Congress

Hydrogen has the ability to assist in variable power output from renewable energy sources such as solar PV and wind. The availability of these sources is not always commensurate with demand for power. Currently, in the power industry, hydrogen accounts for less than 0.2% However, this could change in the near future.

Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

Many countries have met their climate goals and are on track to be completely carbon neutral. Wind and solar parks produce a large portion of their energy. Then, as now, wind farms are operating off the world’s coasts—but not all of these offshore sites are connected to the mainland via underwater power cables.

DOE: US average EV CO2e/year is 4,815 lbs, vs. 11,435 lbs for average gasoline car

Green Car Congress

Using electricity production data by source and state, the DOE’s Alternative Fuels Data Center has estimated the annual carbon dioxide (CO 2 e)-equivalent emissions of a typical EV. of the electricity sources in the state while cleaner sources such as nuclear, hydro, biomass, wind, and solar make up the rest.

ICCT LCA study finds only battery and hydrogen fuel-cell EVs have potential to be very low-GHG passenger vehicle pathways

Green Car Congress

In addition to its regional and temporal scope, this study is distinct from earlier LCA literature in four key aspects: This study considers the lifetime average carbon intensity of the fuel and electricity mixes, including biofuels and biogas. The results reflect the full life-cycle GHG emissions of battery and fuel-cell EVs.
