IIASA study proposes solid air hydrogen liquefaction as efficient addition to hydrogen liquefaction supply chain

Green Car Congress

The world is undergoing an energy transition to reduce CO 2 emissions and mitigate climate change. The possibility of selling hydrogen could result in a further expansion of solar and wind power in developing countries, contributing to their economies. The hydrogen is liquefied where electricity is cheap. Montanari, P.,

IPG to demo Flameless Ceramic Turbine for clean, off-grid power in EV charging

Green Car Congress

IPG’s project will demonstrate the role of Flameless Ceramic Turbine technology in bringing EV charging to high-use and remote locations through clean, cheap, grid-independent power generation. Grid access and capacity issues, as well as the infeasibility of on-site solar and wind, is a barrier for EV charging in many locations.

Royal Society Report Concludes Geoengineering and its Consequences May be the Price for Failure to Act on Climate Change; Recommendations for Plan B

Green Car Congress

It is an unpalatable truth that unless we can succeed in greatly reducing CO 2 emissions we are headed for a very uncomfortable and challenging climate future, and geoengineering will be the only option left to limit further temperature increases. Professor John Shepherd, chair of the Royal Society’s geoengineering study.
