The RCPs were chosen to represent a broad range of climate outcomes, based on a literature review. These gases come from human activities such as combustion of coal and oil as well as natural sources such as emissions from plants. In fact, 90% of the time, ozone levels would range from 27 to 55 ppb. The RCP 8.5 Supercomputing.

A team at the University of Calgary (Canada) has compared the energy intensities and lifecycle GHG emissions of unconventional oils (oil sands and oil shale) alongside shale gas, coal, lignite, wood and conventional oil and gas. The team established a NER range of 2.7-7.3 By comparison, oil shale has NERs (or EROI) of 1.6−2.0

Stanford University scientists have created a new ultrahigh surface area three-dimensional porous graphitic carbon material that significantly boosts the performance of energy-storage technologies. The synthesis can be readily tuned to make a broad range of graphitic carbons with desired structures and compositions for many applications.

Researchers at George Washington University led by Dr. Stuart Licht ( earlier post ) have developed a new process that transforms CO 2 into a controlled selection of nanotubes (CNTs) via molten electrolysis; they call the process C2CNT (CO2 into carbon nanotubes). Controlling the electrolysis conditions results in a range of product.

Proponents believe such a car could be easily refuelled with hydrogen and assumed it would have greater range than a pure all-electric car. Recent developments in lithium ion batteries, and the consequential range improvements of EVs has significantly dampened enthusiasm for hydrogen fuel cells. The reasons are numerous. .
