Study: Reducing Future Transportation CO2 Emissions to Kyoto Protocol Levels Will Require Combination of Vehicle Technology and Smart Growth

Green Car Congress

The research, led by Associate Professor Brian Stone, shows that expected levels of CO 2 emissions from cars and trucks in 2050 could be reduced back to close to 2000 levels if the full vehicle fleet was converted to hybrid electric vehicles—a greater reduction in CO 2 emissions than achieved by two smart growth scenario modelled in the study.

Electronville: High-Amperage Energy Storage Device-Energy Storage for the Neighborhood. A novel process known as Syngas Chemical Looping (SCL), in which coal and biomass are converted to electricity and CO 2 is efficiently captured, has been successfully demonstrated on a laboratory scale.
