New method details contributions of climate change & natural variability to rapid Arctic ice loss

Green Car Congress

The study, from the University of Washington, the University of California Santa Barbara and federal scientists, is published in Nature Climate Change. Ding designed a new sea ice model experiment that combines forcing due to climate change with observed weather in recent decades.

UK awards £28M for 5 demonstration-phase low-carbon hydrogen production projects

Green Car Congress

The Dolphyn project showcases a floating semi-submersible design with an integrated wind turbine, PEM electrolysis and desalination facilities. The project concerns the production of hydrogen at scale from offshore floating wind in deep water locations. This funding will enable the detailed design of a 2 MW prototype system.

Feature: Wind-Powered Cars: Are They Possible?

Clean Fleet Report

With more and more automakers announcing new EV designs every year, it’s reasonable to believe that EVs are here to stay. However, some automakers are exploring different forms of green energy—specifically, wind. Are wind-powered cars a possibility, or are they something that’s likely to stay in the realm of science fiction?

Perspective: The Role of Offsets in Climate Change Legislation

Green Car Congress

This article shows that including offsets in climate change legislation would likely make an emissions program more cost-effective by: (a) providing an incentive for non-regulated sources to generate emission reductions; and (b) expanding emission compliance opportunities for regulated entities. Assuming the offset is legitimate—i.e.,

Study finds climate impact of hydropower varies widely

Green Car Congress

It is commonly thought that the greenhouse gas emissions from hydropower plants are similar to those of wind-generated power facilities. However, some individual hydropower facilities were worse for the climate than coal and natural gas plants both in the near- and long-term.

Stanford study finds current carbon capture technology inefficient & increases air pollution

Green Car Congress

Jacobson, professor of civil and environmental engineering at Stanford University, suggests that carbon capture technologies are inefficient and increase air pollution. Wind replacing fossil fuels always reduces air pollution and never has a capture equipment cost. Only when wind replaced coal itself did social costs decrease.
