ICCT life-cycle analysis finds no climate benefit in using LNG as marine fuel

Green Car Congress

The results of a new analysis by the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) show that, when combined with a trend toward higher methane leakage and combustion slip, there is no climate benefit from using liquefied natural gas (LNG) as a marine fuel—regardless of the engine technology. First, it contains very little sulfur.

Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

Many countries have met their climate goals and are on track to be completely carbon neutral. Wind and solar parks produce a large portion of their energy. Then, as now, wind farms are operating off the world’s coasts—but not all of these offshore sites are connected to the mainland via underwater power cables.

IEA: nuclear power can play a major role in transition to low emissions energy systems; Russia, China leading on new reactor starts

Green Car Congress

As the world contends with a global energy crisis, nuclear power has the potential to play a significant role in helping countries to securely transition to energy systems dominated by renewables, according to a new special report by the IEA. However, a new era for nuclear power is by no means guaranteed.
