Senators introduce bipartisan bill to boost production, use of renewable diesel, sustainable aviation fuel

Green Car Congress

Renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel are promising ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from heavy-duty trucks and airplanes. Wyoming is already a leading producer of renewable diesel and is expected to produce a lot more in the near future. It’s a win for the environment and a win for America’s economy.

DOE awarding $72M to 27 projects to develop and advance carbon capture technologies, including direct air capture

Green Car Congress

Under this cost-shared research and development (R&D), DOE is awarding $51 million to nine new projects for coal and natural gas power and industrial sources. This work will focus on designing a carbon capture system capable of capturing 50 to 70 percent of CO 2 emissions from blast furnace gas. LH CO 2 MENT Colorado Project.

Study finds rising temperatures increase risk of unhealthy ozone levels absent sharp cuts in precursors

Green Car Congress

The study shows that Americans face the risk of a 70% increase in unhealthy summertime ozone levels by 2050, assuming continued greenhouse gas emissions with resultant significant warming (IPCC Scenario A2 and RCP (Representative Concentration Pathway) 8.5.). Both scenarios assumed continued greenhouse gas emissions with significant warming.

Study finds global rivers and streams emitting 3x IPCC estimates of the GHG N2O

Green Car Congress

That’s three times the amount estimated by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Nitrous oxide is a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change and stratospheric ozone destruction. This multi-site experiment clearly establishes streams and rivers as important sources of nitrous oxide.
