The preparations for exclusively green electricity for a climate-friendly production in Europe are already well advanced. Thereby, we completely forego coal-based electricity and obtain our electrical energy from only renewable sources. Today, new plants in Europe are already planned with a CO2-neutral energy supply from the start.

The IEEE Board of Directors formed an ad hoc committee on climate change in February to coordinate its response to the global threat. Rahman: Its charter is to develop a cross-IEEE strategy to synchronize and guide the organization’s response to changes in the global climate. Why should IEEE be involved in combating climate change?

Its first commercial-scale production plant obtains carbon dioxide from gas emissions from a geothermal power plant and hydrogen via electrolysis of water using renewable sources of energy from the Icelandic power grid (from hydro, geothermal and wind sources). Currently the company has a 4,000 metric ton/year production capacity.

For instance, electricity generated from coal or natural gas is associated with higher carbon emissions, while renewable sources like wind or solar energy contribute negligible carbon pollution. As more renewable energy sources are integrated into the power grid, the overall greenhouse gas emissions associated with EVs can be further reduced.

Fortunately plenty of reputable organisations have examined the issues surrounding CO2 emissions for EVs. But for each country the result is the same: the production of the EV emits more CO2 than the equivalent petrol-powered alternative. But over the life of the vehicle the ledger very much swings in the favour of EVs over ICE.

Manufacturing an EV battery using coal-based electricity results in more than three times the greenhouse-gas emissions of manufacturing a battery with electricity from renewable sources. 70 percent of lithium-ion batteries are produced in China, which derived 64 percent of its electricity from coal in 2020.

The primary goal is to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and, ultimately, contribute to mitigating the effects of climate change on the planet. Globally, the transportation sector contributes about 25% of all CO2 emissions. An additional 35% is from natural gas, which emits the least CO2 of any fossil fuel.

Denmark did that with Wind Power and now most of their energy comes from wind rather than oil, natural gas, or coal.

The intolerable act is to pretend that making cars into plug-ins will reduce CO2.
