Rhodium Group estimates US GHG emissions rose 1.3% in 2022

Green Car Congress

Despite efforts to continue stimulating the US economy in the wake of the pandemic, high inflation put a damper on economic growth, which was exacerbated by a spike in oil prices as a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Little change in transportation and industry. Consequently, the US economy grew 1.9% in 2022, down from a 5.7%

Tesla’s Robyn Denholm Warns: Australia May Not Be Lucky Forever

CleanTechnica EVs

Our mineral wealth helped us avoid the worst of the GFC and we are currently avoiding recession because of the high value of our coal and gas exports (sadly, as a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine). Australia has long been known for being “the lucky country.” We are also likely to profit from […]

BNEF: cost of new renewables rises as inflation starts to bite

Green Car Congress

New-build onshore wind and solar projects are now around 40% lower than BNEF’s global benchmarks for new coal- and gas-fired power. Trade flows have been disrupted by challenges in logistics and transportation, trade barriers, and a re-wiring of relationships following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

SGH2 building largest green hydrogen production facility in California; gasification of waste into H2

Green Car Congress

SGH2’s gasification process uses a plasma-enhanced thermal catalytic conversion process optimized with oxygen-enriched gas. The end result is high purity hydrogen and a small amount of biogenic carbon dioxide, which is not additive to greenhouse gas emissions. But, until now, it has been too expensive to adopt at scale.

Global CO2 emissions stalled for the third year in a row

Green Car Congress

The annual assessment of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by the JRC and the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency (PBL) confirms that CO 2 emissions have stalled for the third year in a row. Emissions from international transport (aviation and shipping) contribute another 3% to the total global GHG emissions.

Green Hydrogen Cars: How They are Different?

Get Electric Vehicle

When most of us consider ways to reduce carbon emissions in the transportation sector, we immediately think of electric cars or vehicles in general, and in that case, we are right to a greater extent.  Furthermore, unlike coal and oil, it is a clean energy source that produces only water vapor and leaves no residue in the air.

We Need More Than Just Electric Vehicles

Cars That Think

But EVs come with important weaknesses, and so people shouldn’t count on them alone to do the job, even for the transportation sector. EVs lack tailpipe emissions, sure, but producing, operating, and disposing of these vehicles creates greenhouse-gas emissions and other environmental burdens. But coal use varies, even within China.
