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.

Fossil Fuels Renewable Energy and EV Modern Life

Setec Powerr

More than one generation, if not a bit longer, the transition to an environmentally sustainable economy. Here in New York City, where we have a population density that supports a mass transit system, most of our fossil fuel use is to power our buildings. Wind and solar farms are alternatives to fossil fuel-fired power plants.

Study finds behavior-influencing policies remain critical for mass market success of low-carbon vehicles

Green Car Congress

Policies to entice consumers away from fossil-fuel powered vehicles and normalize low carbon, alternative-fuel alternatives, such as electric vehicles, are vital if the world is to significantly reduce transport sector carbon pure-emissions, according to a new study. Note the different scaling used in the graphs.
