EIA: US LNG exports will fall 6% from 1H 2022 to 2H 2022 following Freeport outage

Green Car Congress

That amount is a 14% decrease in US LNG exports from EIA’s June forecast. We expect lower US natural gas prices for the rest of 2022 than we had previously forecast, but lower prices in 2022 led us to reduce our expectations for natural gas production. EIA forecasts the US Henry Hub spot price will average $5.97

Hydro-Québec will support the clean hydrogen sector in Québec

Green Car Congress

In addition to having access to Québec’s vast water resources to generate green, renewable power at competitive prices, Hydro-Québec has everything it needs to support the development of green hydrogen. Green hydrogen, is produced through the electrolysis of water rather than from methane, a process that produces high levels of GHG emissions.

PNNL study finds 2028 grid resource adequacy likely sufficient for high EV penetration; managed charging strategies can double adequacy

Green Car Congress

No new hydropower generation is expected because hydropower generation is energy limited—no more water is expected in the Columbia River system. The corresponding electric fleet sizes for the WECC footprint are 9 million LDVs, 70,000 MDVs and 94 HDV charging stations.

EIA: China’s use of methanol in liquid fuels has grown rapidly since 2000; >500K bpd in 2016

Green Car Congress

The estimates developed in the study have now been incorporated into EIA’s historical data and forecasts of petroleum and other liquids consumption in China. The main effect of this change on the forecasted STEO liquid fuels market balances is that the higher consumption in 2014 raises the baseline to which the STEO forecast benchmarks.

WHO attributes more than 1 in 4 deaths annually of children under 5 years to unhealthy environment

Green Car Congress

WHO estimated in 2012 that 26% of childhood deaths and 25% of the total disease burden in children under five could be prevented through the reduction of environmental risks such as air pollution, unsafe water, sanitation and inadequate hygiene or chemicals. Globally, road traffic injuries killed 135,000 children under 15 years in 2012.
