EPA proposes new pollution standards for fossil fuel-fired power plants

Green Car Congress

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed new CO 2 standards for coal and natural gas-fired power plants. Through 2042, EPA estimates the net climate and health benefits of the standards on new gas and existing coal-fired power plants are up to $85 billion.

EIA: US energy-related CO2 emissions in 2012 lowest since 1994; reflects drop in coal use

Green Car Congress

US energy-related CO 2 emissions in 2012 were the lowest since 1994, at 5.3 billion metric tons of CO 2 , according to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA). The largest drop in emissions in 2012 came from coal, which is used almost exclusively for electricity generation. Duke study.

Stanford study finds current carbon capture technology inefficient & increases air pollution

Green Car Congress

His open-access paper is published in the journal Energy and Environmental Science. Even if you have 100 percent capture from the capture equipment, it is still worse, from a social cost perspective, than replacing a coal or gas plant with a wind farm because carbon capture never reduces air pollution and always has a capture equipment cost.

ORNL study finds best current use of natural gas for cars is efficient production of electricity for EVs

Green Car Congress

However, they also noted, high PTW efficiencies and the moderate fuel economies of current compressed natural gas vehicles (CNGVs) make them a viable option as well. If CNG were to be eventually used in hybrids, the advantage of the electric generation/EV option shrinks. Their open access paper is published in the journal Energy.
