Tesla Model Y converted into green hydrogen car to show “Hyper Hybrid” innovations

Teslarati

But while the idea to produce a climate-friendly car is admirable, the vehicle Germany used for the project was quite questionable. Karliczek, for his part, noted in a press release that such a project is incredibly important since “green hydrogen” is a valuable building block for climate protection. .

MIT Report Finds Natural Gas Has Significant Potential to Displace Coal, Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions; Role in Transportation More Limited

Green Car Congress

Natural gas will play a leading role in reducing greenhouse-gas emissions over the next several decades, largely by replacing older, inefficient coal plants with highly efficient combined-cycle gas generation, according to a major new interim report out from MIT. The first two reports dealt with nuclear power (2003) and coal (2007).

The system can now convert solar energy to biomass with 10% efficiency, Nocera said, far above the one percent seen in the fastest growing plants. Researchers also used the system to create PHB, a bio-plastic precursor, a process first demonstrated by MIT professor Anthony Sinskey. —Daniel Nocera. This is the genius of Dan.
