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.

BNEF: producing battery materials in the DRC could lower supply-chain emissions and add value to the country’s cobalt

Green Car Congress

A similar plant in China and Poland would cost an estimated $112 million and $65 million, respectively. Precursor material produced at plants in the DRC could be cost competitive with material produced in China and Poland but with a lower environmental footprint. Capital cost to build a 10k metric-ton battery precursor plant.
