Carbon emissions from generating electricity for electric vehicles vary greatly across the individual US states

Green Car Congress

These results indicate that coal and oil are the energy sources leading to most emissions, and that hydro, wind, and nuclear are the energy sources leading to least emissions. Therefore, biomass as energy source was assumed to produce no additional carbon emission. Nuclear 0 0 Wind 2.5 Natural gas 87.9 Geothermal 16.5

Stanford study finds current carbon capture technology inefficient & increases air pollution

Green Car Congress

Jacobson, professor of civil and environmental engineering at Stanford University, suggests that carbon capture technologies are inefficient and increase air pollution. All sorts of scenarios have been developed under the assumption that carbon capture actually reduces substantial amounts of carbon.

New electrocatalyst converts CO2 into ethanol, acetone, and n-butanol with high efficiency

Green Car Congress

The electrocatalytic conversion of CO 2 using renewable energy could establish a climate-neutral, artificial carbon cycle. Excess energy produced by photovoltaics and wind energy could be stored through the electrocatalytic production of fuels from CO 2. These could then be burned as needed.

Study Finds Wind Power Could Meet Chinas Entire Projected Power Demand for 2030

Green Car Congress

A study by researchers at Harvard University and Tsinghua University shows that there is enough wind in China to generate electricity to supply the nation's entire projected demand for 2030 (about twice what is used now) at reasonable prices per kilowatt-hour. Assuming a guaranteed price of 0.516 RMB (7.6 McElroy et al.
