The Complex Calculus of Clean Energy and Zero Emissions

Cars That Think

Congress has provided hundreds of billions of dollars to speed the deployment of clean-energy technologies. Among the most articulate and almost certainly the wonkiest is Jesse Jenkins , a professor of engineering at Princeton University, where he heads the ZERO Lab—the Zero-carbon Energy systems Research and Optimization Laboratory, that is.

TRUE US database shows emissions characteristics of US fleet

Green Car Congress

To complement its work on real-world emissions in Europe, TRUE has compiled remote sensing data from the states of Colorado and Virginia and the University of Denver to investigate the emissions of US light-duty vehicles. By 2018, the percentage of the fleet responsible for 50% of total NO emissions had decreased to 11%.

MIT study: half of US deaths related to air pollution are linked to out-of-state emissions

Green Car Congress

More than half of all air-quality-related early deaths in the United States are a result of emissions originating outside of the state in which those deaths occur, MIT researchers report in a paper in the journal Nature. Now it’s looking like other emissions sectors are becoming important. That wasn’t really possible before.

Lightning Hybrids releases initial emissions testing results for medium-duty hydraulic hybrids

Green Car Congress

Lightning Hybrids , a maker of hydraulic hybrid systems for medium- and heavy-duty trucks and buses ( earlier post ), released initial results from emissions testing conducted by an independent testing facility in Colorado of two medium-duty trucks upfitted with the Lighting Hybrids system. With its high average speed(18.9 mph), low 2.1
