EIA projects decline in transportation sector energy consumption through 2037 despite increase in VMT, followed by increase

Green Car Congress

For the Transportation sector, EIA projects that energy consumption will decline between 2019 and 2037 (in the Reference case) because increases in fuel economy more than offset growth in vehicle miles traveled (VMT). Light-duty vehicle miles traveled increases by 20% in the Reference case, growing from 2.9 trillion miles in 2018 to 3.5

Researchers using ORNL Jaguar supercomputer for simulations to develop improved gasifiers

Green Car Congress

Simulation of a coal jet region. Multiphase refers to the process of changing a solid (in this case, coal) to a gas (syngas). Scientists are able to run detailed simulations on the coal inlet region into the gasifier, allowing them to observe the dynamics. Image credit: Chris Guenther, NETL. Click to enlarge.

EPA proposes rule for nationwide 30% cut in GHG from existing power plants by 2030 relative to 2005

Green Car Congress

The value allocated here in EPA’s goal-setting formula was an average heat rate improvement of 6% for coal steam electric generating units (EGUs). EPA is proposing a BSER goal approach referred to as Option 1 and taking comment on a second approach (Option 2). The estimated cost of Option 2 is between $4.2

DOE reports progress on development of low-carbon and renewable sources of hydrogen production

Green Car Congress

The objective of the Hydrogen Production sub-program is to reduce the cost of hydrogen dispensed at the pump to a cost that is competitive on a cents-per-mile basis with competing vehicle technologies. Based on current analysis, this translates to a hydrogen threshold cost of. Source: DOE. Click to enlarge.
