Green Car Congress

Oil demand grew by less than 1%—the slowest rate amongst fossil fuels—while gas grew by 2.2%, and coal was the only fossil fuel with above average annual consumption growth at 5.4% The report also highlighted supply disruptions as one of the major energy events of the year. Solar powergen rose 86.3%, though from a low base.

MIT Report Finds Natural Gas Has Significant Potential to Displace Coal, Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions; Role in Transportation More Limited

Green Car Congress

Natural gas will play a leading role in reducing greenhouse-gas emissions over the next several decades, largely by replacing older, inefficient coal plants with highly efficient combined-cycle gas generation, according to a major new interim report out from MIT. The first two reports dealt with nuclear power (2003) and coal (2007).

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

Green Car Congress

The City of Lancaster will supply guaranteed feedstock of recyclables, and will save between $50 to $75 per ton in landfilling and landfill space costs. Producers of so-called blue, gray and brown hydrogen use either fossil fuels (natural gas or coal) or low-temperature gasification (.

Our Energy crisis is self made in europe

EV Info

We have started to find out the hard way that wind and solar are pitiful in winter especially when we have no meaningful wind for days on end. While all eyes are on Ukraine and Russia, Europe’s energy woes are largely self-made, not due to outside forces. s usage peaked at its highest level since March to help plug a gap in supplies.”.

Mad Power thoughts

EV Info

Wind farms stand idle for days on end, a fire interrupts a vital cable from France, a combination of post-Covid economic recovery and Russia tightening supply means the gas price has shot through the roof – and so the market price of both home heating and electricity is rocketing. Climate Change.

BP Energy Outlook: 30% growth in global demand to 2035; fuel demand continues to rise, even with EVs & fuel efficiency

Green Car Congress

While non-fossil fuels are expected to account for half of the growth in energy supplies over the next 20 years, the Outlook projects that oil and gas, together with coal, will remain the main source of energy powering the world economy, accounting for more than 75% of total energy supply in 2035, compared with 86% in 2015.

UK power crisis – entirely the fault of regulators and ministers

EV Info

Solar also generates a good share of the power generated when the sun shines. What we have not done so well is to ensure that we have a solid base level of generation to supply electricity when there is no sun and no wind. Right now, production is low in Russia, so the cost has increased. Needs – Solar and Battery.
