Rolls-Royce launches mtu hydrogen solutions for power generation

Green Car Congress

Rolls-Royce is further developing its mtu gas engine portfolio for power generation and cogeneration to run on hydrogen as a fuel and thus enable a climate-neutral energy supply. This near-term target plays an important role in the Rolls-Royce Group’s ambition to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 at the latest.

BASF and RWE proposing 2GW offshore wind farm for green electricity and hydrogen for chemical industry

Green Car Congress

Methane pyrolysis: Methane pyrolysis uses green electricity to split methane into hydrogen and carbon. Another output of this process is high-purity solid carbon, a valuable raw material that can replace carbon in various industrial sectors, such as the steel industry. These plans could result in the avoidance of around 3.8

U-Mich researcher’s first-principles analysis challenges conventional carbon accounting for biofuels; implications for climate policy

Green Car Congress

System boundaries (red line) schematic for liquid fuel carbon balance. For biofuels, because biogenic carbon is automatically credited within a product lifecycle, the boundary effectively excludes vehicle end-use CO 2 emissions. In a paper that could have a significant impact on climate policies for transportation fuels, Dr. John M.

MAHLE criticizes EC CO2 regulation proposal for abandoning technology neutrality

Green Car Congress

Last week, the European Commission adopted a package of proposals to make the EU’s climate, energy, land use, transport and taxation policies fit for reducing net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030, compared to 1990 levels (Fit for 55). Earlier post.). As a result, all new cars registered as of 2035 will be zero-emission.

Tesla Model Y converted into green hydrogen car to show “Hyper Hybrid” innovations

Teslarati

But while the idea to produce a climate-friendly car is admirable, the vehicle Germany used for the project was quite questionable. Karliczek, for his part, noted in a press release that such a project is incredibly important since “green hydrogen” is a valuable building block for climate protection. .

BMW launching iX5 Hydrogen pilot fleet

Green Car Congress

The BMW Group presented the first BMW iX5 Hydrogen vehicles in a pilot fleet that will go into service this year. Hydrogen is a versatile energy source that has a key role to play in the energy transition process and therefore in climate protection. Filling up the hydrogen tanks only takes three to four minutes.

Univ. of Michigan researcher recommends shifting the basis of fuel carbon regulation from lifecycle analysis to ABC accounting

Green Car Congress

Instead, DeCicco proposes a method using annual basis carbon (ABC) accounting to track the stocks and flows of carbon and other relevant greenhouse gases (GHGs) throughout fuel supply chains. From the perspective of resource economics, it is not obvious that LCA is the right tool for regulation. under the U.S.
