Texas Clean Energy Project signs long-term CO2 offtake agreement with Whiting Petroleum for enhanced oil recovery; 90% CO2 capture from IGCC coal polygen plant

Green Car Congress

The TCEP would integrate coal gasification, combined-cycle power generation, CO 2 capture, and. In the Permian Basin, approximately one additional barrel of oil can be recovered for each 6,000 cubic feet (6 Mcf) of compressed CO 2 injected into the oil field. urea production.

UMTRI study shows wide global variability in GHG emissions from operating an EV

Green Car Congress

A team at the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute (UMTRI) study has assessed the relative amounts of greenhouse-gas emissions from driving a battery-electric vehicle (BEV) compared with greenhouse-gas emissions from driving a traditional gasoline-powered vehicle in different countries of the world.

Why EVs Aren't a Climate Change Panacea

Cars That Think

This is due to the 30 to 40 percent increase in emissions EVs create in comparison to manufacturing an ICE vehicle, mainly from its battery production. In states (or countries ) with a high proportion of coal-generated electricity, the miles needed to break-even climb more.

Study: even with high LDV electrification, low-carbon biofuels will be necessary to meet 80% GHG reduction target; “daunting” policy implications

Green Car Congress

The Wisconsin and Michigan team normalized the highly detailed vehicle assumptions and transport calculations from these studies around the rates of electrified vehicle penetration; travel demand growth; and electricity decarbonization. Still, it is technically achievable.

One Year Later, IRA Responsible for Tens of Thousands of American Jobs & Billions in Investment

Plug in America

Additional financial incentives are available through the IRA for clean-energy projects that are sited within “energy communities,” a community which historically exists in close proximity to oil extraction or coal mining sites, or where a certain percentage of the tax base or employment is derived from fossil fuels.
