Phil Ansell, an aerospace engineer at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, modeled the life cycle carbon dioxide equivalent emissions of liquid hydrogen production required to meet the fuel needs of Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport (ORD) with today’s electric grid mix. Or is it better to liquefy it on site at the airport?

To provide 50%—or more—of power from clean energy sources, power grids will have to be able to leverage distributed energy sources, and reliably manage dynamic changes, while minimizing impact on customer quality of service. We will be replicating the entire California power grid on one campus.

The upstream, “well to wheel” emissions of the EV are linked to electricity generation and the electrical grid, with lower emissions in regions that use more renewable energy sources. They can be charged using clean energy, reducing their environmental impact. Let’s not forget our carbon footprint.

At COP27, he said that even though the first legally binding international treaty on climate change, known as the Paris Agreement , was adopted nearly a decade ago, countries have yet to come to a consensus on how to stop burning fossil fuels, among other issues. It’s not possible in the next 25 years except with nuclear power,” he said. “We

The business will be known as ChargeScape and, according to the automakers' press release, seeks to “create a single platform that will seamlessly connect electric utilities, automakers and their interested EV customers to manage energy usage for a broad pool of EVs.” It seems like the above could qualify for antitrust enforcement.
