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.

Gas prices due to drop in 2024, as EVs plug into cleaner energy

Baua Electric

The cost of gasoline and the carbon footprint of EVs could both fall in the new year. Energy Information Administration (EIA) expects combined electricity generation from solar and wind to exceed coal for the first time in 2024. CNN reported this week that price-aggregator Gas Buddy expects U.S. gas prices to average $3.38 per gallon.

DOE moves FutureGen 2.0 CCS project forward into second phase

Green Car Congress

The project is important part of a portfolio of approaches we are pursuing to reduce carbon emissions from existing coal-fired power plants and perhaps other large, localized CO 2 emitters. In cooperation with the FutureGen project partners, the Department of Energy is investing in the upgrade of a coal-fired power plant in Meredosia, Ill.

How to Hasten India’s Transition Away From Coal

Cars That Think

Greenhouse gas emissions will certainly grow too, because India’s energy generation is dominated by fossil fuels—coal-fired power plants for electricity, coal- and gas-fired furnaces for industrial heating, liquid petroleum gas for cooking, and gasoline and diesel for transportation. costs less than fossil-fuel-based electricity.

What is Renewable energy integration, challenges, why it is needed

Baua Electric

Energy storage solutions, such as batteries, pumped hydro storage, and thermal storage, play a crucial role in storing excess energy during peak production times for use during periods of low or no renewable energy generation. It aligns with global goals to transition toward cleaner and more sustainable energy systems.

CleanFUEL USA partners with Freightliner on new 8.0L propane LPI medium-duty engine

Green Car Congress

Propane is a cleaner burning fossil fuel, yielding 87% less hydrocarbons and 50% fewer toxins than gasoline, and is more economical compared to petroleum-based options, roughly 40 to 50% less than gasoline/diesel per gallon, although less attractive on a cost per energy equivalent basis due to its lower energy content.
