Northwestern/Princeton study explores air quality impacts of aggressive conversion to EVs

Green Car Congress

Researchers from Northwestern University and Princeton University have explored the impact on US air quality from an aggressive conversion of internal combustion vehicles to battery-powered electric vehicles (EVs). coal, oil, natural gas, and biomass). Winter O 3 increases due to reduced loss via traffic NO x. Winter while PM 2.5

Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

Wind and solar parks produce a large portion of their energy. Then, as now, wind farms are operating off the world’s coasts—but not all of these offshore sites are connected to the mainland via underwater power cables. Some of the wind farms instead sit in clusters more than 100 kilometers out at sea.

Oxford Team Outlines Progress and Potential in CO2 Capture and Conversion to Synthetic Transportation Fuels

Green Car Congress

The authors highlight three possible strategies for CO 2 conversion by physico-chemical approaches: sustainable (or renewable) synthetic methanol; syngas production derived from flue gases from coal-, gas- or oil-fired electric power stations; and photochemical production of synthetic fuels.

The Complex Calculus of Clean Energy and Zero Emissions

Cars That Think

These investments are one reason why the International Energy Agency (IEA) in September insisted that there’s still hope to hold global temperature rise to 1.5 °C Jesse Jenkins, Princeton University When I entered the field, commercial wind was starting to scale up and the questions were about engineering feasibility.

New energy vehicles are increasingly needed by people

Even if the power consumption is converted into the emissions from the power plant, the pollution caused is less than that of traditional fuel vehicles, because the energy conversion rate of the power plant is higher, and the centralized emissions can be more easily installed with emission reduction and pollution control equipment.

DOE to award $12.5M to improve efficiency of medium- and heavy-duty trucks as part of new tech track for US-China initiative

Green Car Congress

These are: Advanced internal combustion engine and powertrain systems. High conversion efficiency NO x after-treatment and particulate filters. Wind/weather and GPS-based cruise control and intelligent routing. The US consortium will pursue five topics; responsive application will address all five. Alternative fuel combustion.
