Efficiency standards that at least double miles per gallon of automobiles and light trucks over current vehicles (CAFE); and a reduction of miles driven (VMT) through road pricing, pay-as-you-drive insurance, and by encouraging transportation alternatives. For electric power. For buildings and appliances. Samaras et al. Samaras et al.

Soot—black and brown particles that absorb solar radiation—comes from two types of sources: fossil fuels such as diesel, coal, gasoline, jet fuel; and solid biofuels such as wood, manure, dung, and other solid biomass used for home heating and cooking around the world.

A team led by Professor Jae Sung Lee at Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST), with colleagues at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH), have developed a new pathway for the direct conversion of CO 2 to liquid transportation fuels by reaction with renewable hydrogen produced by solar water splitting.

China is about to become the largest oil-importing country and India becomes the largest importer of coal by the early 2020s. In some regions, rapid expansion of wind and solar PV raises fundamental questions about the design of power markets and their ability to ensure adequate investment and long-term reliability. —WEO-2013.

One surprise to me from her presentation is the fact that street lights are the number two user of electricity in Los Angeles. With my interest in installing solar on my roof I’ve been closely watching their approach and frankly wishing my own city of Torrance was following their lead. Talk about a dichotomy.

And that’s exactly the way I’m feeling about the Los Angeles Times this week after reading two separate articles in the space of four days claiming that solar panels may do more harm than good. Seth Godon helped me see the light in his blog post, “ When newspapers are gone, what will you miss? And I’m over it.

I would say that electricity is a vastly superior fuel for the light vehicle fleet,” said Willett Kempton , a professor and alternative energy specialist at the University of Delaware. Are we going to burn more oil, natural gas, or (gasp) coal to produce it? Much of the technology needed is still a distant dream ? but not all of it.

Solar, Wind and Biofuels Grew 53 Percent in 2008 Green Education = Environmental Religion? Renewables That Even Coal-Based Utilities Can Love. Individuals and businesses lose months and connect fees when they add solar and other forms of renewable energy to the grid. Its better solar transfer/storage than a battery.

Manufacturing an EV battery using coal-based electricity results in more than three times the greenhouse-gas emissions of manufacturing a battery with electricity from renewable sources. 70 percent of lithium-ion batteries are produced in China, which derived 64 percent of its electricity from coal in 2020. fleet of light vehicles.

Powered by Blogrunner Previous post The Promise of a Better Light Bulb? Even if you charge your EV with electricity made from coal fired generators you reduce your car’s pollution by half. If you charge with solar, is way less. Not good for large EV’s but great for light ones. — jerryd 7.

Denmark did that with Wind Power and now most of their energy comes from wind rather than oil, natural gas, or coal. Generating electricity from wind and geothermal rather than a CO2 producing sources would help alleviate that problem. The intolerable act is to pretend that making cars into plug-ins will reduce CO2.
