EPRI-NRDC report finds widespread vehicle electrification and a cleaner grid could lead to substantial cuts in GHG by 2050

Green Car Congress

Use of electric vehicles would achieve greater reductions in GHG emissions, corresponding to the rate that the electric grid becomes cleaner, through greater reliance on renewables and low- and non-emitting generation. This research points to the importance of two fundamental and parallel trends in energy and the environment.

How EVs Are Helping Humanity & Saving Lives?

Get Electric Vehicle

Instead, we have to supply hydrogen just like we fill gasoline but the car will be powered by electric motors just like a normal electric car. EVS: How They Are Helping Us In developed countries like the US, transportation is the main cause of climate pollution. fine particulate matter pollution). But the good news?

How Engineers Can Help Protect Earth From Worsening Climate Change

Cars That Think

The climate crisis is also having a severe effect on the planet, which is being battered by pollution, deforestation, and soil degradation. Ninety-nine percent of the global population breathes in air that exceeds WHO-guideline limits on pollutants, with low- and middle-income countries suffering from the highest exposures.

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

Green Car Congress

We are transitioning from a demand-led energy system, where power generation can be easily turned on and off to match demand, to one that is led by supply from variable and inflexible sources. Grid balancing is about ensuring electricity supply meets demand second-by-second, by regulating properties including power, voltage and frequency.

Tsinghua University provincial-level lifecycle study finds fuel-cycle criteria pollutants of EVs in China could be up to 5x those of natural gas vehicles due to China’s coal-dominant power mix

Green Car Congress

Setting a cap on coal use while maintaining economic growth at a high level means that China must resort to other energy sources, such as natural gas (NG) and renewable fuels, to fill the energy supply gap. The original reason for developing EVs and CNGVs is to substitute oil, not to reduce emissions of GHGs or any pollutant.

EC JRC report explores future of road transport; moving away from system centered on private car ownership

Green Car Congress

The report shows how thes massive changes on the horizon caused by automation, connectivity, decarbonization and sharing, represent an opportunity to move towards a transport system that is more efficient, safer, less polluting and more accessible than the current one centered on private car ownership. —Biagio Ciuffo, lead author.
