Study finds that dry-feed gasification for coal-to-liquids is more efficient, lower-emitting and cheaper than slurry-feed; CCS cost-effective for reduction of CO2

Comparison of coal consumption and CO 2 emissions for co-production and separate production of liquids and power. Conventional CTL plant gasifies coal to produce a syngas which is then converted in a Fischer-Tropsch reactor to products. The liquids output capacity of CTL plants is 50,000 barrels/day.

Scenario study suggests increased vehicle electrification in Europe increases demand for gas in power sector; limited ability for power-to-gas

Green Car Congress

The study is based on a set of scenarios for 2050 of electrification in five European countries: Austria (AT), Belgium (BE), France (FR), Germany (DE) and the Netherlands (NL). The model results show that the social costs of a full electrification path towards 2050 vary significantly, ranging from 0.5%

Why EVs Aren't a Climate Change Panacea

Cars That Think

As a reality check, current estimates for the number of ICE vehicles still on the road worldwide in 2050 range from a low of 1.25 In states (or countries ) with a high proportion of coal-generated electricity, the miles needed to break-even climb more. Concatenated costs also include changing multiple personal behaviors.

Study Finds Coordinated Off-peak Charging Can Support Large Scale Plug-in Use Without Additional Generation Capacity; TCO and GHG Abatement Costs for BEVs Projected to Remain High

Green Car Congress

The study, in press in the Journal of Power Sources , examines the efficiency and costs of current and future EVs, as well as their impact on electricity demand and infrastructure for generation and distribution, and thereby on GHG emissions. Derive GHG emissions and costs of charging of EVs in the 2015 Dutch context and. We therefore.

2022—The Year the Hydrogen Economy Launched?

Cars That Think

In the United States, sweeping legislation capped a series of moves by the country’s Department of Energy (DOE) over the past year to drive down the cost of low-carbon hydrogen and stimulate demand for the fuel. Costs of gray hydrogen vary but are roughly $2 a kg in the U.S. So that’s why the community is so excited.” It sets aside €5.4

EC awards €1.2B from NER300 “Robin Hood” mechanism for 23 renewable energy projects; 5 advanced biofuel projects targeted for €516.8M

Green Car Congress

The projects cover a wide range of renewable technologies: 8 bioenergy projects (including 5 advanced biofuels projects with combined maximum funding of €516.8 NER300 funding will provide up to 50% of the relevant costs of the project—i.e., billion] of private investment in the 23 selected low-carbon demonstration projects.
