ORNL study finds best current use of natural gas for cars is efficient production of electricity for EVs

Green Car Congress

Specifically, to minimize GHG emissions and total energy use, is it better to use natural gas in a stationary power application to generate electricity to charge EVs, to compress natural gas for onboard combustion in vehicles, or to reform natural gas into a denser transportation fuel? —Curran et al. mpgge (equivalent to 7.6

IHS: fuel cell vehicle production of > 70,000 annually by 2027; <0.1% of all vehicles produced; Europe to lead by 2021

Green Car Congress

IHS expects that during the next 11 years, the number of available FCEV models will jump to 17 from the current three (Toyota Mirai, Hyundai ix35/Tucson and the Honda Clarity), as more OEMs add FCEVs to their product portfolios. This can be achieved using an electrolyzer and electricity from a renewable source (solar PV, wind turbine etc.).

Taking another look at methanol as an alternative transportation fuel for the US

Green Car Congress

Large scale production of methanol from natural gas and coal is a well-developed. Sufficient feedstock of natural gas and coal exists to enable the use of non-renewable methanol as a transition fuel to renewable methanol from biomass, they suggested. transitioned to the renewable methanol. use could be developed.

What is Fleet Electrification?

Driivz

In order to understand fleet electrification, let’s first take a look at electrification in general: Electrification is the process of replacing technologies that use fossil fuels (such as oil, coal and natural gas) with those that use electricity as an energy source. Unstable Charging Environment. Limited Energy.

Naysayer Alert – the hydrogen red herring

My Electric Car

Honda have produced the Honda FCX Clarity FCEV, a hydrogen powered Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV), which they are leasing in limited numbers to selected customers in specially selected locations only. There are several reasons for this approach and understanding a little more about fuel cell vehicles may explain why.

Green Hydrogen Cars: How They are Different?

Get Electric Vehicle

One among them is the long charging time. We will create energy without spewing carbon dioxide into the environment if this power is supplied from renewable sources. Similarly, replacing all grey hydrogen in the globe would necessitate 3,000 TWh/year from new renewables, which is equal to Europe’s current consumption.
