Siemens presents three-point plan for implementing cost-efficient energy transition in Germany

Green Car Congress

Relying on a higher share of efficient, low-emission combined cycle power plants and wind energy could save €150 billion (US$200 billion) by 2030 while attaining the same CO 2 targets, Siemens says. Siemens proposes giving up a fixed target for renewables and focus on reducing CO 2 emissions in the future instead.

UC Davis researchers suggest we may be at the beginning of a real hydrogen transition in transportation

Green Car Congress

In many respects, hydrogen FCVs could offer features that are similar to today’s gasoline cars and are more challenging to achieve in battery-powered vehicles, including good performance, large vehicle size, refueling time of 3-5 minutes and a range of 300-400 miles. —“The Hydrogen Transition”.

PHEVLERs are the Zero CO2 Clean Green Machines of the Future

Green Car Congress

The DC and fast charging infrastructures for BEVs are very expensive to construct [ 13 ] & operate, and are wasteful of electricity inversely to the square of charge time (meaning ½ the charge time 4 times the losses, and ⅓ the charge time 9 times the losses). PHEVLERs produce no tailpipe emissions in local driving.
