If every home in the United States were to implement these energy-saving technologies, it would be the equivalent of taking all the homes in California, New York and Texas—32 million homes—off the power grid. —Mike Tinskey, global director of Vehicle Electrification and Infrastructure, Ford Motor Company.

This investment will build on our existing methanol technology, facilitating even more valuable solutions and helping to propel this part of our business in China. This is an important symbol of Geely Group’s global commitment to sustainability. It will also allow us to promote advanced methanol technology in Europe. Methanol in China.

The rising threat of global warming requires that every country act now. One might argue that the onus of reversing global warming should fall on the developed world, which on a per capita basis consumes much more energy and emits significantly more greenhouse gases. While electricity from older coal plants in India costs 2.7

Chemical plants on dedicated platforms then process part of the hydrogen, combining it with nitrogen to make ammonia, or with carbon dioxide to produce substitutes for fossil fuels. Hydrogen is thus greasing the wheels of the global transition to cleaner energy. And the world is going to need a lot more of it.

Rahman, a power expert and professor of electrical and computer engineering at Virginia Tech , is the former chair of the IEEE ad hoc committee on climate change. The committee was formed last year to coordinate the organization’s response to the global crisis. One type is the ultrasupercritical coal-fired steam power plant.

It’s very similar to the infrastructure for electric cars because the idea, ultimately, for electric cars is that you also are revamping your grid to facilitate, whatchamacallit, intermittent renewable energy sources, like wind and solar, because having an electric car that runs off a coal-fired power plant is defeating the purpose, essentially.

ChargePoint’s stance is bolstered by a new MIT study that suggests , in part, that electric cars that plug into the grid, could, collectively, act as a massive “virtual battery” for grid energy storage. In the power grid, supply and demand need to match exactly. ChargePoint envisions that at scale—i.e.,

The vision is fuelled by the fear of climate change and the need to find green alternatives to dirty coal, unpopular nuclear power and unreliable gas imports from Russia. Instead, the focus over the coming years will apparently be on including the vehicle’s battery as part of a local home or office area network.
