EU investing €1.8B in 17 large-scale clean tech projects

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? capture and liquefaction at a cement plant to storage in offshore sites.

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

Green Car Congress

It not only solves our air quality and climate challenges by producing pollution-free hydrogen. Unlike other renewable energy sources, hydrogen can fuel hard-to-decarbonize heavy industrial sectors like steel, heavy transport, and cement. That’s why our partnership with SGH2 is so important. This is game-changing technology.

MIT study finds real-world NOx from diesels cars in Europe greatly exceeds laboratory levels; transboundary emissions cause 70% of health impacts

Green Car Congress

It’s a case where diesel has probably been beneficial in terms of climate impacts, but it’s come at the cost of human health. The team used GEOS-Chem, a chemistry transport model that simulates the circulation of chemicals and particles through the atmosphere, to track where each manufacturer’s excess NO x emissions traveled over time.

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

Green Car Congress

billion in new renewable energy capacity in 2020, up 2% on the year, helped by the biggest-ever build-out of solar projects and a $50-billion surge for offshore wind. Clean power generation and electric transport are seeing heavy inflows, but need to see further increases in spending as costs fall. Electrified transport.
