Polestar, Rivian report concludes automotive industry tracking to overshoot IPCC emissions target by 75%

Green Car Congress

So far, the primary focus for the industry has rightly been on electrification of the fleet, targeting the significant portion (60 to 65 percent for internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles) of emissions that come from the tailpipe. The IPCC has stated that all GHG emissions need to be reduced by 43% by 2030.

“In 2024, the entire world is in a stage of reconfiguring supply chains, geopolitics are bringing new challenges to supply chains,” CNESA said in the white paper. This is particularly important for China, which has minimal natural gas capacity, a more flexible power source than slow-ramping coal plants.

China’s battery storage capacity growth likely to slow in 2024 – ET Auto

Baua Electric

Grid-connected battery farms back up renewables when the sun is not shining or the wind is not blowing and are considered important to help integrate clean energy into power grids. This is particularly important for China, which has minimal natural gas capacity, a more flexible power source than slow-ramping coal plants.

Shell, ITM Power to build world’s largest hydrogen electrolysis plant in Germany; €20M REFHYNE project

Green Car Congress

The electrolyzer will provide bulk quantities of hydrogen to the refinery’s hydrogen pipeline system (currently supplied by two steam methane reformers). This new unit at Rhineland enables hydrogen to be made from electricity rather than natural gas. Detailed technical planning and the approval process will now begin.

World Bank/PRTM study finds global value chain shift resulting from vehicle electrification could favor China from technology and supply chain perspectives

Green Car Congress

Industry forecasts suggest that the global electric vehicle sales will contribute between 2% to 25% of annual new vehicle sales by 2025, with the consensus being closer to 10%. This raw material dominance, along with China’s relative labor cost advantage, has resulted in an emerging extended supply chain in motor technology and production.
