Monash study on solar-driven electrolysis for green hydrogen production cautions on life-cycle emissions and EROI

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Monash University in Australia have conducted a lifecycle analysis and net energy analysis (LCA/NEA) of a hypothetical large-scale solar-electrolysis plant for the production of green hydrogen. Taking IRENA’s REmap scenario as a reference, renewable hydrogen could deliver 5% of total final energy demand in 2050.

Scientists call for careful use of time scales, reference dates and statistical approaches in analyzing climate change trends to avoid distortion and hampering of response

Green Car Congress

Demonstrating that the use of different time scales, reference dates, and statistical approaches can generate highly disparate results in climate reports, scientists at the University of Alaska Anchorage argue that careful use of these tools is critical for correctly interpreting and reporting climatic trends in Alaska and other polar regions.

Combating climate change via carbon credits | Autocar Professional

Baua Electric

In today’s world, climate change is a reality we have to contend with and among the various measures undertaken to combat it, carbon credits can prove to be an effective solution. Weaving a new framework in the climate space, carbon credits incentivize sustainable practices by assigning a financial value to reductions in GHG emissions.

Making Information Tech Greener Can Help Address the Climate Crisis

Cars That Think

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change delivered its starkest warning ever. At the same time, it noted, there is still a window in which humans can alter Earth's climate path. The actions we take to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases can impact the future climate, the report emphasizes.

LOTTE, Sumitomo of Americas and Syzygy Plasmonics to partner on photocatalytic cracking of ammonia to produce hydrogen

Green Car Congress

Among other climate-focused goals, the company is setting the stage to advance the hydrogen economy in Korea. Plans include importing green ammonia that can be readily transported and stored before it is converted into clean hydrogen with expectations of generating 1.2 million tons of hydrogen per year domestically by 2030.

U of Toronto study finds US electrification of LDV fleet not a silver bullet for tackling climate change in vehicle sector

Green Car Congress

Mitigation gap refers to the difference between the 2 °C CO 2 emission budget and the emissions with incorporating the previous strategies. SSP1, sustainability—taking the green road; SSP2, middle of the road; SSP5, fossil-fueled development—taking the highway. The paper is published in the journal Nature Climate Change.
