One example is diesel and natural gas generators, that are plugged into local transformers. Hydrogen fuel cells go some way to answering these challenges, but breakthroughs in flameless combustion and low-cost, high-temperature ceramics offer an alternative solution.

We have been thrilled with the performance of liquid injection in general—such good performance characteristics, gas mileage, emissions, service and warranty—that’s the wave of the future for OEM programs. Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), also known as propane or autogas, can be used to replace gasoline and diesel.

The California Air Resources Board released its proposed greenhouse gas cap-and-trade regulation. A key part of ARB’s AB 32 Scoping Plan ( earlier post ), the cap-and-trade program provides an overall limit on the emissions from sources responsible for 85% of California’s greenhouse gas emissions.

The results, published in the journal Advanced Functional Materials , may bring cleaner, cheaper raw materials to diverse manufacturers. With the prices of natural gas and oil dropping, renewable fuels can’t compete with fossil fuels, so biorefineries are exploring options for developing other economically viable products.

In a net-zero future, a future where petroleum and natural gas production enter terminal decline and never return to their past carbon-spewing heights, sulfur production will fall away, too. As dirty as it sounds, it’s actually cleaner than mining. Reducing the future need for sulfuric acid certainly wouldn’t hurt.

Appendix B: Car of the Future: A Comparison of Alternative Vehicles. Electrically-powered vehicles called plug-in electric vehicles, (PEVs), can shift us from exclusive use of gasoline and diesel to offer a pathway to a future of burning no fossil materials. Even more new uses will be discovered in the future. Conclusions.

Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, several conflicting reports about the future of EVs have emerged: some predict EVs to grow by 38% year-over-year, while others forecast a 43% drop. However, despite all the concerns about the future of electric cars, EVs have shown significant resilience in the past few months, even in the face of the pandemic.
