BMW Group sourcing aluminum produced using solar energy from EGA

Green Car Congress

The BMW Group will begin sourcing aluminum produced using solar electricity with immediate effect. Generating the electricity needed to produce primary aluminum, i.e. aluminum obtained directly from the mineral compound alumina, is alone responsible for about 60% of the global aluminum industry’s greenhouse gas emissions.

Thermal Solar Goes Where PVs Can’t

Cars That Think

Leading the boom is the photovoltaic (PV) panel, which converts sunlight into electricity using semiconductors. As electric utilities and policymakers seek solutions for storing and dispatching energy on demand, concentrating solar-thermal power (CSP) is once again gaining traction. Dubai, United Arab Emirates The massive US $4.4

Report for IPCC finds renewables could supply up to 77% of global energy by 2050 under most optimistic scenario; need for enabling public policies and investments

Green Car Congress

The upper end of the scenarios assessed, representing a cut of around a third in greenhouse gas emissions from business-as-usual projections, could assist in keeping concentrations of greenhouse gases at 450 parts per million, the report said. Bioenergy technologies can generate electricity, heat and fuels from a range of feedstocks.
