IRENA sees renewable hydrogen at least cost-possible within decade

Green Car Congress

Hydrogen produced with renewable electricity could compete on costs with fossil fuel alternatives by 2030, according to a new report from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA). For that, today’s manufacturing capacity of less than 1 GW would have to massively grow beyond 100 GW in the next 10 to 15 years.

SwRI wins $20M EPA contract for emissions and fuel consumption testing, analytical services

Green Car Congress

On 23 February, the EPA issued a new guidance letter to manufacturers to refine and to clarify the procedures to be used by vehicle manufacturers in establishing vehicle road-load force and dynamometer settings for emissions and fuel economy testing. Dynamometer settings are determined in two stages.

MIT study concludes that absent climate policy, coal-to-liquids could account for around a third of global liquid fuels by 2050

Green Car Congress

Based on DOE’s plant design that focuses mainly on liquid fuels production, the study found that, without climate policy, CTL might become economical as early as 2015 in coal-abundant countries like the United States and China. Carbon capture and storage technologies would not be used, as they would raise costs.

MIT team develops new synthetic pathway and modular engineering toolkit for direct biosynthesis of odd-chain molecules for fuels and chemicals

Green Car Congress

The interest in microbial synthesis of fuels and chemicals has increased substantially as efforts to transition toward a “bio-based” economy have gained momentum; however, the ability to more broadly use biological systems for chemical production is somewhat limited by the natural repertoire of biosynthetic pathways.

Can Alt-Fuel Credits Accelerate EV Adoption?

Cars That Think

It would be the biggest change in the history of a program that has, in part, failed to live up to its designers’ ambitious dreams. In one way, the program in question—the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS)—is a relic from a bygone era. electric vehicle supply chains’ reliance on Chinese rare earths and battery components, U.S.-friendly
