With a high-torque drive motor and an AMT gearbox, the high-power fuel cell stack features an energy conversion rate of more than 50%. At the 2020 United Nations Climate Change conference, Chinese President Xi Jiping proposed that China’s carbon dioxide emissions should peak in 2030 and that carbon neutrality should be achieved by 2060.

Recent research in electrocatalytic CO 2 conversion points the way to using CO 2 as a feedstock and renewable electricity as an energy supply for the synthesis of different types of fuel and value-added chemicals such as ethylene, ethanol, and propane. The spectroscopic results were corroborated by quantum chemical modeling.

Biorefineries may have a major role to play in mitigating the threat of climate change; meeting the “ seemingly boundless demand ” for energy, fuels, chemicals and materials; and creating economic growth, according to a new report released by the World Economic Forum: The Future of Industrial Biorefineries.

Otherwise, fuel switching can produce net climate damages (more radiative forcing) for decades. since natural gas has relatively low carbon intensity, releasing less carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) per unit of usable energy than other fossil fuels, it is often assumed that switching to natural gas is comparatively beneficial for the climate.

Vastly expanding sugarcane production in Brazil for conversion to ethanol could reduce current global CO 2 emissions by as much as 5.6%, according to a new study by an international team led by researchers from the University of Illinois. The corresponding range of CO 2 offsets is 0.55–2.0 Gigatons yr −1. This would displace 3.8–13.7%

The study considered emissions of non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHC), CO, NO x , PM 2.5 , sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ), and ammonia (NH 3 ), as well as the lifecycle climate impact of CO 2 and non-CO 2 greenhouse gases (GHG) on a CO 2 -equivalent basis. The researchers took an estimated range of this to be 0.5–2%
