Mercedes-Benz Cars plants in Germany to be supplied with CO2-neutral energy from 2022

Green Car Congress

In the future, 100% of additional purchased electricity will come from verifiable renewable sources, such as wind- and hydropower. This year’s Energy Efficiency Summit will take place at the Mercedes-Benz Sindelfingen plant. This corresponds to about three quarters of the required electricity in the German plants.

New E3SM exascale modeling system for earth simulation released to scientific community

Green Car Congress

The high-resolution E3SM earth system model simulates the strongest storms with surface winds exceeding 150 mph—hurricanes that leave cold wakes that are 2 to 4 degrees Celsius cooler than their surroundings. The E3SM release will include model code and documentation, as well as output from an initial set of benchmark simulations.

Microsoft Predicts Weather for Individual Farms

Cars That Think

The system uses historical data on both weather forecasts and local sensor data for training, and predicts each weather parameter, like temperature and wind speed, individually. In the study he worked on, researcher examined four real-world uses of DeepMC—predictions of wind speed, solar radiation, soil moisture content, and temperature.
