UK power crisis – entirely the fault of regulators and ministers

EV Info

Slashing gas storage facilities. We have closed most of the coal plants and several the aging nuclear plants are moving offline as they close for repair of reach end of life. As this shows we are reliant of Gas for 50% of our electricity generation. Plus, most of the heating in homes and offices is gas. Nuclear 15%.

What is Electrification of Transportation?

Driivz

The primary goal is to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and, ultimately, contribute to mitigating the effects of climate change on the planet. Globally, the transportation sector contributes about 25% of all CO2 emissions. An additional 35% is from natural gas, which emits the least CO2 of any fossil fuel.

The liquid is then heated to 120-150 degrees Celsius (250-300 degrees Fahrenheit) to release the gas, after which the liquids are reused. The removal of CO 2 from low-pressure flue gas mixtures is currently effected by aqueous amine solutions that are highly selective for acid gases. We got lucky.

CICERO-led study finds global warming effect of leaked hydrogen almost 12x stronger than CO2

Green Car Congress

Unlike exhaust from burning coal and gas that contains CO 2 , burning hydrogen emits only water vapor and oxygen. Hydrogen is not a greenhouse gas, but its chemical reactions in the atmosphere affect greenhouse gases such as methane, ozone, and stratospheric water vapor.

The Dirty Truth of Petrol & Diesel Vehicles

Plug In India

Shipping is responsible for an estimated 100 crore tonnes of CO2 per year, and 10% of that is shipping oil. Even if electricity is produced from burning coal, the power plant is far away from population centers, transferred over power lines keeping any direct pollution away from the population. In India 39.1%

Naysayer Alert – the hydrogen red herring

My Electric Car

The energy stored within hydrogen has been imparted from electrical energy through the electrolytic hydrogen production process or more likely in the refinement of fossil fuels such as coal seam (methane) gas – both are energy intensive processes in themselves. . The reasons are numerous. . It’s not really a disruption.
