ICCT LCA study finds only battery and hydrogen fuel-cell EVs have potential to be very low-GHG passenger vehicle pathways

Green Car Congress

The results show there is no realistic pathway to full decarbonization of internal combustion engine vehicles, and that only battery and hydrogen fuel-cell EVs have potential to be very low-GHG passenger vehicle pathways. Natural gas does not offer climate benefits compared to gasoline and diesel, and many biofuel pathways do not, either.

ANL: life-cycle water consumption of fuel cell vehicles can be cut in half compared to that of conventional ICE vehicles

Green Car Congress

The life-cycle water consumption of fuel cell electric vehicles using hydrogen produced from natural gas with steam methane reforming is almost 50% less than the life-cycle water consumption of conventional internal combustion engine vehicles using gasoline, according to a study by researchers at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL).

Australia Goes All-in on Green Hydrogen

Cars That Think

And while coal plants still supplied over half of Australia’s power in 2021, change is afoot. Building every electrolyzer promised for 2030 would provide only about one-sixth of the green hydrogen required to meet climate targets, according to figures from the International Energy Agency in Paris. Yet many more are actually needed.

Why Schools Should Electrify Their Bus Fleets

Blink Charging

The transition away from gasoline and diesel vehicles to electric vehicles (EVs) is going full throttle in the United States, and that includes the iconic yellow school bus. Roughly half a million school buses transport about 20 million students each school day in the United States, and nearly all those buses currently run on diesel.
