Why Electrifying the Supply Chain Is More Important Than Ever

Clean Fleet Report

However, supply chains could make an even more prominent impact by electrifying their fleets of vehicles, which account for more significant environmental degradation. Supply chains making these progressive decisions will likely enjoy resilience and sustained profit margins.

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

Green Car Congress

Widespread adoption of electric transportation, including electrification in the off-road sector, could lead to substantial reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and could modestly improve air quality, according to a new analysis released by the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) and the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC).

IEA: Decisive action by governments is critical to unlock growth for low-carbon hydrogen

Green Car Congress

But this time, we are seeing exciting progress in making hydrogen cleaner, more affordable and more available for use across different sectors of the economy. This requires either large amounts of electricity to produce it from water, or the use of carbon capture technologies if the hydrogen is produced from fossil fuels.

UK government launches first Hydrogen Strategy

Green Car Congress

In the UK, a low-carbon hydrogen economy could deliver emissions savings equivalent to the carbon captured by 700 million trees by 2032 and is a key pillar of capitalizing on cleaner energy sources as the UK moves away from fossil fuels. Doing so could deliver a 7% emissions reduction on natural gas. 40-million (US$55.5-million)

IEA: carbon intensity of global energy supply has barely changed in last 20 years; “window of opportunity in transport”

Green Car Congress

The global energy supply became 6% cleaner from 1971 to 1990,in response to the oil shocks of the 1970s. In 1990 the underlying carbon intensity of supply was 57.1 The world must slow the growth of energy demand as well as make its energy supply cleaner, the IEA said. tCO 2 /TJ (2.39 tCO 2 /toe); in 2010 it was 56.7
