In December 2014, Böhni submitted a motion for consideration by the National Council (Nationalrat) that would create the legal basis for importers and manufacturers of vehicles that run on CO 2 -neutral synthetic fuels made in Switzerland to receive credit for the corresponding reduction in CO 2 emissions under fleet emission rules.
While compressed natural gas (CNG) will play a role, particularly for high-mileage fleets, the report suggests that the chemical conversion of gas into some form of liquid fuel may be the best pathway to significant market penetration. These include short-range, heavy-duty vehicles (e.g., Tcf/year, equivalent to 1.3 million bpd of oil.
In the new process, the supplier uses hydrogen and electricity from 100% renewable energy sources instead of coking coal in steel production. The hydrogen serves as a reduction gas, which releases and binds the oxygen from the iron ore. Unlike the use of coking coal, this does not produce CO₂, but water vapor.
The DOE-QTR defines six key strategies: increase vehicle efficiency; electrification of the light duty fleet; deploy alternative fuels; increase building and industrial efficiency; modernize the electrical grid; and deploy clean electricity. DOE’s most significant role in transport research is here.
By 2030, the energy generated or stored and dispatched by these three technologies will undercut electricity generated by existing coal and gas plants almost everywhere. with its abundance of low-priced natural gas, and China, with its modern fleet of coal-fired plants, follow at a slower pace.
Today our best commercial batteries have energy densities of about 300 watt-hours per kilogram , less than 3 percent as much as kerosene ; among some 25,000 planes in the global commercial fleet, there is not a single high-capacity electric or hydrogen-powered aircraft. That’s what we’d need to fly about 2.2 In 2021 there were some 1.4
Updated the emission factors of criteria air pollutant (combustion and non-combustion emissions) for SMR hydrogen and petroleum fuels. Added new pathways for by-product hydrogen produced from chlor-alkali processes. Implemented new pathways for fuel cell electric medium- and heavy-duty vehicles powered by gaseous hydrogen.
This growth is expected to lead to a significant increase in carbon dioxide emissions of nearly 900 million tonnes through 2050, or about the same level of emissions growth as from coal use in the power and the entire industry sector combined. Modern Truck Scenario.
Nearly all of the world’s ship fleet still runs on diesel fuel, with about a quarter of new ships on order being built to run on somewhat lower-carbon alternatives like liquefied natural gas, methanol, or hybrid propulsion. Hedging its bets, the industry is exploring ammonia, batteries, and hydrogen, among other options for powering ships.
Government Policies Driving Change The UK government has introduced several measures to reduce carbon emissions, including: Ban on Petrol and Diesel Cars by 2035 : Aiming to phase out internal combustion engine vehicles in favor of EVs and hydrogen-powered cars. This represents a 21.4% increase from 2023 and accounts for 19.6% thetimes.co.uk
The combination of harvesting whole forests and burning long-sequestered carbon sources such as coal or oil has impaired the Earth’s carbon cycle at an increasing pace. All we really need in addition to fleets of new paradigm vehicles are additional solar and wind generation sources.

There has been a growing push from many sides saying that Hydrogen is the answer to all our energy problems. A few weeks ago JCB, the big yellow digger firm was beating the Hydrogen drum as the founder’s son Jo said. “I Jo is just one of many pitching the benefits of Hydrogen. As a gas hydrogen or H2. But it is not.
Electricity demand is likely to start growing at a pretty sustained rate due to the growth of electric vehicles, AI and data centers, heat pumps, electrification of industry, hydrogen production. Jenkins: We have to shut down coal plants as fast as is feasible because they’re by far the most environmentally damaging.
Such a misadventure would undermine the credibility of the responsible space agency and waste capital that could be better spent improving less risky ways to shore up renewable energy, such as batteries, hydrogen, and grid improvements.
Fuel cell powered EVs: Fuel cells generate electricity by dividing electrons from hydrogen molecules. Instead, we have to supply hydrogen just like we fill gasoline but the car will be powered by electric motors just like a normal electric car. renewable energy consumption has just overtaken coal. But the good news?
by homercles82 April 7, 2009 11:23 AM PDT Yes we will just be charging these cars using electricity that is made from naturla gas and coal fired palnts while we ignore nuclear unlike most of Europe. Dont knock it until youve tried it; I did and Im leaving my 4 wheeler parked. Impractical with full-sized cars, but easily done with these pods.
Volt like hybrids are the intermediate future between hydrogen or fast charging electric cars. Denmark did that with Wind Power and now most of their energy comes from wind rather than oil, natural gas, or coal. Just hope that we switch over to HHO (Hydrogen-Hydrogen-oxygen) gas before the "Battery thing" gets out-of-control.
Renewables That Even Coal-Based Utilities Can Love. Clean Fleet Article It would be a financial win-win for all. John Addison publishes the Clean Fleet Report with archives of over 60 articles and reports about electric vehicles, V2G, biofuels, fleet success and more. ► January (13) What Goes Down, Must Go Up?
so-called “clean hydrogen,” including incentives for both its manufacture through less emissive processes (it has heretofore primarily been created using natural gas , which often comes from “fracking”) and for the purchase of vehicles – not only passenger cars such as the Toyota Mirai but commercial trucks and vans.
