SGH2 building largest green hydrogen production facility in California; gasification of waste into H2

Green Car Congress

The plant will feature SGH2’s technology, which will gasify recycled mixed paper waste to produce green hydrogen that reduces carbon emissions by two to three times more than green hydrogen produced using electrolysis and renewable energy, and is five to seven times cheaper. That’s why our partnership with SGH2 is so important.

Green Car Congress

The selected projects are located in Bulgaria, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland and Sweden. Another one located in Poland will create an end-to-end carbon capture and storage chain starting from CO? Other selection criteria included the projects’ potential for scalability and cost effectiveness.

EEA: increase in EU GHG emissions, mostly due to transport, hampers progress towards 2030 targets

Green Car Congress

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across the European Union rose slightly in 2017, mostly because of the transport sector. emissions increase in 2017 from 2016. This limited increase means that the EU is still expected to achieve its 2020 emissions reduction target, albeit by a narrower margin. from the year before.

EEA says industrial air pollution cost Europe up to €169 billion in 2009; some 37% attributed to CO2

Green Car Congress

The EEA quantified the damage costs arising from CO 2 emissions based on estimated marginal abatement cost. Finally, a different approach was used to quantify the damage costs arising from CO 2 emissions, based on estimated marginal abatement cost. Aggregated damage costs by pollutant. Source: EEA.

Mercedes-Benz Cars plants in Germany to be supplied with CO2-neutral energy from 2022

Green Car Congress

The preparations for exclusively green electricity for a climate-friendly production in Europe are already well advanced. As part of the electric offensive, Mercedes-Benz Cars counts on local emission-free vehicles. Any resulting CO 2 -emissions are offset by qualified environmental projects.

BNEF: global investment in energy transition hit $500B in 2020; $139B on EVs and infrastructure

Green Car Congress

Technologies such as electric heat, CCS and hydrogen are only attracting a fraction of the investment they will need in the 2020s to help bring emissions under control. We need to be talking about trillions per year if we are to meet climate goals. Biomass and waste-to-energy financings were down 3% at $10 billion.
