Instead, he and others are trying to invent new climate-control technology that doesn’t further exacerbate the dangers facing the planet’s climate. Winners of the 2021 Global Cooling Prize—both heat pumps—reduce cooling’s climate impact by as much as 80 percent. If, like 60 percent of the U.S. Still, in the U.S.,

An open-access paper on the work, “Optimal Strategies for a Cost-Effective and Reliable 100% Renewable Electrical Grid,” appears in the Journal of Renewable and Sustainable Energy. Minimizing long-duration storage is a key element in trying to achieve the target cost-effectively. —Sammy Houssainy, co-author.

Jeremy Michalek accounted for regional differences in emissions due to marginal grid mix; ambient temperature; patterns of vehicle miles traveled (VMT); and driving conditions (city versus highway). The researchers said this is due to the combined effect of grid carbon intensity, highway driving, and regional temperature.

degrees Fahrenheit), according to the research by scientists at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California, San Diego; Florida State University; and the National Center for Atmospheric Research. The results show that the inclusion of energy use at 86 model grid points where it exceeds 0.4?W?m

Thus, the efficiency of battery electric vehicles can vary with ambient temperature due to battery performance—as well as the energy required for cabin climate control. Reduced efficiency results in increased energy consumption and increased emissions from the electricity grid when BEVs charge. —Yuksel and Michalek.

Life cycle inventories have typically been presented at global, national, or regional levels—sufficient for understanding global processes such as climate change and fossil fuel depletion, but insufficient for the analysis of local processes such as air pollution, according to the researchers.
