The LCFS requires oil producers, importers and other fuel providers gradually to reduce, on a full-fuel lifecycle basis, the carbon intensity (CI) of their transportation fuel mix (measured in gCO 2 e/MJ) by from 0.25% in 2011 to 10% by 2020. The plant was originally fueled by coal but was converted to natural gas in 2010.

Everybody knew then that renewables were unreliable: that wind power fully works less than one-third of the time, and that solar power is unavailable at night (of course) and less efficient on cloudy winter days. So, ironically, renewables have in some ways hastened the decline of nuclear power. Gas is the only answer.

Jenkins: Energy systems became globalized in the middle of the 20th century and then encountered global supply shocks, like the oil embargoes of the ’70s. The second reason is that the grid we have is built out to places where there were coal mines and hydropower dams, not where there’s the best wind and sun.

Pyrolysis as traditionally practiced involves quickly heating biomass without oxygen to produce a biochar for fertilizer and a liquid bio-oil for energy. The new process produces sugars that can be fermented to biofuels and a solid fuel suitable as a coal substitute. of Adel; and the Iowa Energy Center.

Hydrogen produced from renewable energy or nuclear power, with minimal greenhouse-gas emissions, could be piped or transported pretty much anywhere, using mostly existing infrastructure. A massive substation at the coal-fired Intermountain Power Plant in Utah links the facility to transmission lines that deliver power to southern California.
