PNNL solar thermochemical reaction system can reduce fuel consumption in natural gas power plants by about 20%; future potential for transportation fuels

Green Car Congress

APRIL 11, 2013

A new concentrating solar power system developed by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) can reduce the fuel consumption of a modified natural-gas combined-cycle (NGCC) power plant by about 20%. The power plant then combusts the more energy dense syngas to produce electricity. The full CSP system. Photo: PNNL. Click to enlarge.

The largest fuel pathways used to meet this target include electricity, lower carbon sources of ethanol blended into gasoline, biodiesel and renewable diesel. The modelling also assumes more modest increases in the supply of alternatives to diesel fuel—biodiesel, renewable diesel and renewable natural gas for trucks.

Stellantis Limiting Availability of Gasoline Models by State Emission Rules

The Truth About Cars

JUNE 16, 2023

According to Automotive News , Stellantis has already stopped delivering internal combustion models to dealerships located in CARB states unless customers have ordered them special. The automaker told dealers in April that the CARB states are enforcing tougher greenhouse gas standards retroactively to the 2021 model year.

However, California is lagging behind when it comes to ensuring its charging infrastructure keeps up with the growth of its electric vehicle fleet, the report finds. In 2016 there was one charging plug for about every 6 electric cars.

Clearing the roadblocks to electrification of heavy-duty trucks

Charged EVs

AUGUST 2, 2023

The electric road ahead for heavy trucks is not exactly clear, and there are several roadblocks, some obvious and some far less so. Fleets don’t want to go electric at scale until they’ve done years-long pilots, but the Advanced Clean Trucks regulation will artificially constrict that timeframe. Soon they won’t have a choice.
