IIASA study proposes solid air hydrogen liquefaction as efficient addition to hydrogen liquefaction supply chain

Green Car Congress

The world is undergoing an energy transition to reduce CO 2 emissions and mitigate climate change. This would increase the viability of a global hydrogen economy in the future and increase the number of hydrogen suppliers for energy-demanding regions, such as China, Europe, and Japan.

Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

Many countries have met their climate goals and are on track to be completely carbon neutral. Wind and solar parks produce a large portion of their energy. Then, as now, wind farms are operating off the world’s coasts—but not all of these offshore sites are connected to the mainland via underwater power cables.

Nissan cut CO2 emissions 22.4% over past decade

Green Car Congress

Nissan’s measures to reduce emissions include the following: Nissan UK has installed 19,000 solar panels to join 10 wind turbines at its Sunderland plant, generating enough power to build more than 31,000 cars every year. The power derived from the solar panels and wind turbines accounts for 7% of the plant’s total usage.

IEA: global CO2 emissions rebounded to their highest level in history in 2021; largely driven by China

Green Car Congress

Output from wind and solar PV increased by 270 TWh and 170 TWh, respectively, while hydro generation declined due to the impacts of drought, notably in the United States and Brazil. In Japan, emissions dropped by 3.7% The use of coal for electricity generation in 2021 was intensified by record high natural gas prices.

What the Nissan Leaf Has Taught Us About Natural Disaster Recovery

Blink Charging

One of the first places this theory has been tested is Japan. Japan has widely accepted EVs and was the first to put EVs to work during natural disasters. Japan is prone to thousands of tsunamis and earthquakes each year. As a result of this project, Nissan and 4R Energy were honored by the Association for Resilience Japan.

WMO reports GHG concentrations at highest in 800K years

Green Car Congress

Together, the Greenhouse Gas Bulletin and Emissions Gap Report will provide a base for decision-making at the UN climate change negotiations, which will be held from 7-17 November in Bonn, Germany. To optimize the use of solar, wind and hydropower production, new types of weather, climate and hydrological services are needed.
