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.

Opinion: Reinventing fuel-based power for a more secure and resilient grid

Green Car Congress

It is, however, a challenge that is being made all the greater as we continue to decentralize power generation with more distributed, variable and inflexible sources, such as wind and solar. Increasingly, wind and solar are replacing fossil fuels as our principle source of energy. 100% wind and solar is not feasible on its own.

Fossil Fuels Renewable Energy and EV Modern Life

Setec Powerr

Decarbonization will take decades, and in the case of large-scale installations like wind farms and solar farms, we will see NIMBY-style (Not In My Back Yard) opposition to siting. Wind and solar farms are alternatives to fossil fuel-fired power plants. Automobiles became more energy-efficient and less polluting.

Tips: 6 Ways to Increase Your Fuel Economy

Clean Fleet Report

Try to clean out your car once a week, and make it a habit to take everything out of your car that you bring in. Idling uses much more fuel than starting the engine does, and also gives off more pollution than your car does when it is moving. These help reduce wind drag that can be caused by an open truck bed.
