IISA study proposes using airships for efficient cargo or hydrogen transportation

Green Car Congress

The open-access paper is published in the journal Energy Conversion and Management: X. In the study, researchers from IIASA, Brazil, Germany, and Malaysia looked into how an airship-based industry could be developed using the jet stream as the energy medium to transport cargo around the world. doi: 10.1016/j.ecmx.2019.100016.

New study finds GHG emissions from palm oil production significantly underestimated; palm oil biofuels could be more climate-damaging than oil sands fuels

Green Car Congress

Mha (20%) of the peatlands of Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra and Borneo in 2010, surpassing the area of Belgium and causing an annual carbon emission from peat decomposition of 230–310 Mt CO 2 e. That number is in my opinion conservative, and consistent with a slight reduction in the rate of peat conversion. —Miettinen et al.

Lux: California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard will become a global phenomenon; carbon intensity, not volume

Green Car Congress

The LCFS eliminates volume targets and focuses strictly on a fuel’s carbon intensity (CI) measured in gCO 2 /MJ on a well-to-wheel (WTW) basis—from extraction, conversion, transport, and combustion of the fuel. Earlier post.). This model does not offer a ubiquitous solution.

SGH2 building largest green hydrogen production facility in California; gasification of waste into H2

Green Car Congress

SGH2’s gasification process uses a plasma-enhanced thermal catalytic conversion process optimized with oxygen-enriched gas. Bloomberg New Energy Finance reports that clean hydrogen could cut up to 34% of global greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels and industry.
