As states use less coal for electricity, driving electric vehicles becomes even cleaner

Green Car Congress

Battery electric vehicles are only as clean as the energy source used to generate the electricity that powers them. These results indicate that coal and oil are the energy sources leading to most emissions, and that hydro, wind, and nuclear are the energy sources leading to least emissions.

BloombergNEF: clean energy investment in developing nations slumps as financing in China slows; coal burn surges to record high

Green Car Congress

New investment in wind, solar, and other clean energy projects in developing nations dropped sharply in 2018, largely due to a slowdown in China. The findings suggest that developing nations are moving toward cleaner power but not nearly fast enough to limit global CO 2 emissions. thousand terawatt-hours in 2018, up from 6.4

SK Inc. Materials initiates blue ammonia business with offtake agreement with ExxonMobil

Green Car Congress

When co-fired with coal in an existing Coal Fired Power Plant (CFPP), blue ammonia emits no additional CO 2 , and total emissions from power generation is reduced by the amount of blue ammonia co-fired. Co-firing is a combustion technology that uses two or more fuel sources for power generation.

GlobalData: hydrogen to become game changer as large-scale source of cleaner power

Green Car Congress

The technology has the capability to serve as a long-term, large-scale clean energy storage medium that aids power generation from renewable sources, however, formulating a cost-effective and well-regulated transition is a complex issue and the cost of producing hydrogen from renewable energy sources is currently expensive.

Huge Tesla Megapack project breaks ground in Queensland

Teslarati

Another Tesla Megapack project in Australia has broken ground, set to replace a former coal plant as part of a sustainable energy hub in Queensland. The big battery is said to store enough energy to power over two-thirds of the city of Ipswich for two hours each night as demand increases when the sunsets.

Harvard team finds large-scale US wind power would cause warming that would take roughly a century to offset

Green Car Congress

All large-scale energy systems have environmental impacts, and the ability to compare the impacts of renewable energy sources is an important step in planning a future without coal or gas power. In the journal Joule , Harvard researchers report the most accurate modelling yet of how increasing wind power would affect climate.
