That insight could also help the car industry make cleaner combustion engines. They believe that the finding could one day lead to cleaner combustion engines. Furthermore, equipping airplanes and the gasoline-powered component of hybrid plug-in EVs with cleaner combustion engines could help reduce CO 2 emissions. Zhao et al.

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

APRIL 13, 2020

In 2018, only two states used oil to generate more than 3% of the electricity: 68% in Hawaii and 12% in Alaska.) (Oil is used relatively infrequently in the United States as an energy source for electricity. The results indicate that the percentage of electricity generated from coal decreased from 2008 to 2018 in 49 states.

Megapacks are able to support the grid just as well, if not better, than peaker plants, and they are also a whole lot cleaner. . If the Hawaii and New Mexico batteries are actually completed this year, for example, Tesla would end up breaking last year’s installation record by about 50%.

Australia introduces its first exhaust rule but makes all the mistakes the US did

MARCH 26, 2024

Automakers often bring their dirtiest cars to Australia, and don’t offer better and cleaner electric models in the country. As a result, the average new car in Australia consumes 6.9L/100km, 100km, compared to 4.2L in the US and 3.5L The new emissions rules intend to change that, and to increase availability of EV options for the country.

The elimination of oxygen compounds by hydrotreating results in hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) material that is cleaner and easier to co-process with conventional petroleum-derived vacuum gas oil (VGO) in downstream processes. Simultaneously, we are building the plant in Hawaii with the help of the DOE grant. Earlier post.).
