We Need to Talk About AI's Impact on Public Health

Cars That Think

But AIs contribution to air pollution and the public health burden is often missing from conversations about responsible AI design. micrometers or less in diameter (referred to as PM 2.5 ), which can travel deep into the respiratory tract and lungs. The World Bank estimates the global cost of air pollution at US $8.1

U of I study: synthetic fuels via CO2 conversion and FT not currently economically & environmentally competitive

Green Car Congress

They used currently achievable performance levels for the system components—electrolyzers and the Fischer−Tropsch process—to compute key metrics, including (i) cost of the synthetic fuel; (ii) well-to-gate CO 2 emissions; and (iii) overall energy efficiency.

Study finds that aluminum reduces electric vehicle cost against steel counterpart for same targeted range

Green Car Congress

A recent study found that an aluminum electric vehicle can cost up to €635 (US$829) less than that its steel counterpart despite the higher cost of aluminum, given equivalent range targets. A C-segment crash reference vehicle (Volkswagen Golf) with steel unibody and internal combustion engine served as the basis for this study.

“Project Volt Gas Volt” proposes long-term financing plan to support widespread implementation of power-to-gas systems

Green Car Congress

Project Volt Gas Volt is based on a long-term financing plan and the use of existing technologies for the large-scale conversion of surplus renewable electricity to methane, with subsequent reuse. The concept is the same embodied in Audi’s e-gas project ( earlier post ), to which the VGV proposal makes continued reference.

DOE seeks information on enhancing algal biofuel intermediate yields for biofuel production

Green Car Congress

DOE has identified low intermediate biomass yields as a key driver of the high cost of algal biofuels because of the high capital investment projected as necessary to achieve commercial-scale volumes of biofuel. Increased yields would both decrease the total amount of capital needed, and better utilize capital investment.
