Volkswagen striving to make production of the electric ID. carbon-neutral

Green Car Congress

From a lifecycle view, this additional carbon burden is offset compared to the combustion engine vehicle during the use phase, as EVs rack up zero-emission miles that eventually pull the EV ahead of the ICE. to be completely carbon-neutral, thereby not only levelling, but eliminating that production-phase CO 2 burden.

SGH2 building largest green hydrogen production facility in California; gasification of waste into H2

Green Car Congress

The plant will feature SGH2’s technology, which will gasify recycled mixed paper waste to produce green hydrogen that reduces carbon emissions by two to three times more than green hydrogen produced using electrolysis and renewable energy, and is five to seven times cheaper. That’s why our partnership with SGH2 is so important.

What Part Do EVs Play in the Federal Net-Zero Emissions Target?

Clean Fleet Report

Electric Vehicles Are a Key Climate Change Tool The U.S. Eliminating emissions problems means finding renewable energy solutions with a minimal carbon footprint. These climate accords call for a 43% decline in emissions by 2030 and net-zero emissions by 2050. While the U.S. How Do Automobiles Contribute to GHG Emissions?

CLEPA study: EV-only approach would lead to the loss of half a million supplier jobs in the EU

Green Car Congress

All three scenarios assume accelerated electrification to meet climate goals, with a high market share for electrified vehicles (Battery-electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and full hybrid electric vehicles) by 2030 of more than 50%, almost 80%, and close to 100%, respectively. CLEPA’s policy recommendations.

UK MPs greenlight shale gas in new report

Green Car Congress

It is more likely that in countries such as Poland—with a larger reliance on gas imports and greater potential shale gas resources—the impacts of shale gas production will be significant. However, it will not be sufficient to meet long term emissions reductions targets and avoid the worst effects of global climate disruption.

MIT study finds real-world NOx from diesels cars in Europe greatly exceeds laboratory levels; transboundary emissions cause 70% of health impacts

Green Car Congress

There are many times the number of diesel cars in Europe compared to the US, partly because the EU started pushing diesel for environmental reasons, as it produces less carbon dioxide emissions compared with [gasoline]. — Steven Barrett, the Raymond L. Barrett says this transboundary effect may be due to the nature of NO x emissions.
