Bosch study highlights potential of e-fuels to reduce CO2 emissions

Green Car Congress

In this way, the cost of exhaust-gas treatment can be reduced, Bosch adds. The hydrogen that is initially produced can be used to power fuel cells, while the fuels created following further processing can be used to run combustion engines or aircraft turbines. In addition, synthetic fuels can be designed to burn practically soot-free.

Lessons From Norway’s Journey To Becoming The Global Leader In EV Adoption

Wallbox

Norway leads electric vehicle (EV) adoption, boasting the highest share of new EV purchases worldwide. Compared to the USA, where EVs make up only 2% of new car sales, this gives one a good idea of Norway’s strong leadership position in terms of EV market share.

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

Green Car Congress

A study led by Norwegian climate center CICERO has found that the global warming effect of leaked hydrogen is almost 12 times stronger than that of CO 2. Unlike exhaust from burning coal and gas that contains CO 2 , burning hydrogen emits only water vapor and oxygen. Hydrogen interacts with various biogeochemical processes.
