NUS researcher links air pollution to increased residential electricity demand

Green Car Congress

The study, set in Singapore, suggests that better air quality will bring about climate co-benefits in reducing electricity generation via lower household demand, and thus mitigating carbon emissions. However, only 8% of the tropics’ three billion people currently have air conditioners, compared to 76% in Singapore.

Wärtsilä in US customer collaboration to test hydrogen blended fuel as a step towards decarbonized power plant operations

Green Car Congress

The project supports WEC’s ambition to reduce the CO 2 emissions from its electric generating fleet by 60% by the end of 2025, and by 80% by the end of 2030 from 2005 levels, and to be net carbon-neutral by 2050. One engine will be selected for the test program, during which time it will continue to deliver power to the grid.
