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. —Pavlenko et al.

ANL: life-cycle water consumption of fuel cell vehicles can be cut in half compared to that of conventional ICE vehicles

Green Car Congress

The life-cycle water consumption of fuel cell electric vehicles using hydrogen produced from natural gas with steam methane reforming is almost 50% less than the life-cycle water consumption of conventional internal combustion engine vehicles using gasoline, according to a study by researchers at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL).

Bosch on importance of renewable synthetic fuels to reach climate goals; e-fuels

Green Car Congress

First, apply electricity generated from renewable sources to obtain hydrogen from water. Climate neutrality. Vehicles on the road, when powered by synthetic fuel, are ultimately climate-neutral. Sufficient renewable energy can be generated worldwide to produce fuel that can then be stored and transported relatively easily.
