Transcript Eliza Strickland: Technology to combat climate change got a big boost this year when the US Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act , which authorized more than 390 billion for spending on clean energy and climate change. One of the big winners was a technology called carbon capture and storage.

In the fight against climate change, many countries have pledged to reduce their CO2 emissions to net zero. Unlike today, the future will see a climate-neutral world where energy will primarily be electricity from photovoltaics, wind turbines, and hydroelectric power plants. Why all the hype about hydrogen?

Duncan needed more clean power during hot days, when demand was high. With concern about climate change on the rise, interest in renewable energy sources is moving from the fringe to the mainstream. Utilities, which use thousands of vehicles, would likely be the first big buyers of the vehicles, the group says.

million) toward a $30-million underground coal gasification (UCG) project with Swan Hills Synfuels of Calgary. Swan Hills Synfuels expects the project to demonstrate the ability to manufacture synthetic gas from Alberta’s coal resources, with the future potential of utilizing the coal seams for carbon capture and storage.

Sources of clean and renewable energy are increasingly being integrated by utilities around the world. Basically, renewable energy , also known as clean energy or green energy, never runs out. Renewable energy was the main source of energy before the discovery of oil, coal, and natural gas. Renewables & EV Charging.

More significantly it must be realized that hydrogen, just like a battery, is not an energy source in itself, but simply a means of storing energy. Most commonly it is refined from conventional coal seam gas, often termed ‘natural gas’ to greenwash what it really is, in essence just methane found with other fossil-fuel deposits.

The combination of harvesting whole forests and burning long-sequestered carbon sources such as coal or oil has impaired the Earth’s carbon cycle at an increasing pace. The answer is that no such radical change will be necessary with the PHEV since it allows use of low demand time on the grid to recharge cars at a low power.

And in a true smart grid, electric cars will not only be able to draw on electricity to run their motors, they will also be able to do the reverse: send electricity stored in their batteries back into the grid when it is needed. “Electric vehicles could be connected to the grid and could store energy at times when too much is produced

His people at MidAmerican have studied clean technologies like batteries and wind power for years because of the threat of climate change. Meanwhile, BYD researchers are on to their next big idea, a product they call a Home Clean Power Solution. " When he got back to the U.S., You want to meet him."

As if that were not enough, I’m hearing now that BYD is on the verge of a breakthrough in the solar power business and that the company has big plans to make rechargeable batteries at a utility scale to store energy from intermittent, renewable sources like wind and solar.

Then consider that in order to actually go any farther than the neighbood store, one still had to have ANOTHER car. Denmark did that with Wind Power and now most of their energy comes from wind rather than oil, natural gas, or coal.
