Enova pledges $259M for Hydro’s pilot aluminum plant in Norway; next-gen electrolysis

Green Car Congress

billion (US$259 million) in investment backing for Hydro’s full scale next-generation electrolysis pilot project at Karmøy, on the west coast of Norway. This makes it crucial for production to be based on the lowest possible energy consumption and the lowest possible greenhouse gas emissions. —Enova CEO Nils Kristian Nakstad.

IEA WEO-2012 finds major shift in global energy balance but not onto a more sustainable path; identifies potential for transformative shift in global energy efficiency

Green Car Congress

The WEO finds that the extraordinary growth in oil and natural gas output in the United States will mean a sea-change in global energy flows. In the New Policies Scenario, the WEO ’s central scenario, the United States becomes a net exporter of natural gas by 2020 and is almost self-sufficient in energy, in net terms, by 2035.

CICERO-led study finds global warming effect of leaked hydrogen almost 12x stronger than CO2

Green Car Congress

Unlike exhaust from burning coal and gas that contains CO 2 , burning hydrogen emits only water vapor and oxygen. Hydrogen is not a greenhouse gas, but its chemical reactions in the atmosphere affect greenhouse gases such as methane, ozone, and stratospheric water vapor. —Dr Sand Resources Sand, M., Skeie, R.B.,

New diamine-appended MOFs can capture CO2 for half or less of the energy cost of current materials

Green Car Congress

The liquid is then heated to 120-150 degrees Celsius (250-300 degrees Fahrenheit) to release the gas, after which the liquids are reused. The removal of CO 2 from low-pressure flue gas mixtures is currently effected by aqueous amine solutions that are highly selective for acid gases. We got lucky. McDonald, Jarad A.

War in Ukraine: We Need to Talk About Fossil Fuels

Cars That Think

Russia’s energy resources are enormous and Europe’s dependence on them is deep and pervasive. For natural gas, it is the world’s second largest producer , behind the United States and ahead of Iran, and its largest exporter. But Russia’s importance as an exporter of natural resources goes far beyond hydrocarbons.

Naysayer Alert – the hydrogen red herring

My Electric Car

The energy stored within hydrogen has been imparted from electrical energy through the electrolytic hydrogen production process or more likely in the refinement of fossil fuels such as coal seam (methane) gas – both are energy intensive processes in themselves. . It’s not really a disruption.

How Will EV Charging Powered by Renewable Energy Create a Greener World

Driivz

Renewable energy was the main source of energy before the discovery of oil, coal, and natural gas. Iceland, Norway, Canada, Sweden, New Zealand, and Austria were the global leaders in hydroelectric as of 2019. San Diego Gas & Electric has been offering solar powered charging stations since 2012.
