Volvo Cars switches to biodiesel for ocean freight; cutting fossil CO2 emissions by 84%

Green Car Congress

The fuel used is Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAME) (biodiesel) and is based on renewable and sustainable sources, mainly waste cooking oil. On the contrary, we want to spark other car makers into action as well, to increase demand for carbon efficient ocean transports and to establish renewable fuels as a mid-term solution that works.

Audi partnering with Climeworks on CO2 direct air capture and storage

Green Car Congress

Climeworks’ new facility in Iceland transports the CO 2 filtered out of the air below the Earth’s surface, where natural processes then mineralize it. C using waste heat from a nearby geothermal plant to release the CO 2 molecules. The carbon dioxide is thus permanently removed from the atmosphere.
