MIT study concludes that absent climate policy, coal-to-liquids could account for around a third of global liquid fuels by 2050

Green Car Congress

A new assessment of the viability of coal-to-liquids (CTL) technology by researchers from the MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change (JPSPGC) found that without climate policy, CTL has the potential to account for around a third of global liquid fuels by 2050. of global electricity demand.

UC Davis report finds LCFS compliance costs may rise rapidly; recommends offsetting measures

Green Car Congress

Both proposals have the additional advantage of generating funds which may be used to increase investments in low CI fuel technologies. The LCFS program calls for a 10% reduction in the carbon intensity of fuel sold in California over the next decade. The program is agnostic as to which fuels can be used to meet the Standard.

MIT team develops new synthetic pathway and modular engineering toolkit for direct biosynthesis of odd-chain molecules for fuels and chemicals

Green Car Congress

In many natural pathways, a carbon skeleton is initially formed from which a handful of compounds with diverse chemical architecture are generated. The extent to which each of the enzymes will accept the five-carbon unnatural substrates is unknown. —Tseng and Prather.

Can Alt-Fuel Credits Accelerate EV Adoption?

Cars That Think

It would be the biggest change in the history of a program that has, in part, failed to live up to its designers’ ambitious dreams. In one way, the program in question—the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS)—is a relic from a bygone era. In 2016, a U.S. Now, it is 2022. The proposed changes aren’t set in stone. says Nunes. Nunes believes so.
