As states continue to use less coal for electricity, driving electric vehicles becomes even cleaner

Green Car Congress

These results indicate that coal and oil are the energy sources leading to most emissions, and that hydro, wind, and nuclear are the energy sources leading to least emissions. On the two extremes, coal and oil result in about 176 times the emissions from hydro. from coal. New Mexico Ohio. Energy source. Geothermal.

Energy Vault to provide 1.6 GWh of gravity energy storage to support DG Fuels SAF projects

Green Car Congress

This initial project will be followed by additional projects in British Columbia and Ohio. These facilities typically use approximately one ton of coal to produce one BBL of hydrocarbons, with a life cycle CO 2 -emissions calculation that is slightly worse than equivalent fuels derived from conventional oil refining.
