Natural gas will play a leading role in reducing greenhouse-gas emissions over the next several decades, largely by replacing older, inefficient coal plants with highly efficient combined-cycle gas generation, according to a major new interim report out from MIT. The first two reports dealt with nuclear power (2003) and coal (2007).

” The MIT report said that natural gas should be seen as a “ bridge ” to a low-carbon regime, rather than as the ultimate long-term solution itself. MIT: The Future of Natural Gas. Separately, the International Energy Agency (IEA) released its own report exploring the potential for a “golden age” of gas. Source: IEA.

New analysis by an international team led by MIT researchers shows that Asia now releases a surprisingly large amount of anthropogenic mercury. The result of this work, researchers say, could improve estimates of mercury pollution, and help refine pollution-control strategies around the world. It was higher than we expected.

So when I went to MIT to do my Ph.D., The second reason is that the grid we have is built out to places where there were coal mines and hydropower dams, not where there’s the best wind and sun. Back to top High-voltage DC (HVDC) transmission technology is playing a big role in China and Europe.

In late 2008, BYD started selling the first production PHEV in China. BYD said the F6DM (dual mode) sedan will go on sale in China in the fourth quarter for $20,000 to $30,000.The But we want to give them cause to continue to press forward." ( MIT Technology Review ). BYD also developed the motors and software for the system.

One wonders if the recent headway at MIT in building lithium ion cells using ?virus? Denmark did that with Wind Power and now most of their energy comes from wind rather than oil, natural gas, or coal. Posted by: slipandslide | Apr 14, 2009 5:20:27 PM Chinas Gas consumption is projected to increase 300%. Interesting in any case.
