EPRI-NRDC report finds widespread vehicle electrification and a cleaner grid could lead to substantial cuts in GHG by 2050

Green Car Congress

Widespread adoption of electric transportation, including electrification in the off-road sector, could lead to substantial reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and could modestly improve air quality, according to a new analysis released by the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) and the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC).

Why Electric Buses Are the Healthy School Choice

Blink Charging

Depending on how the electricity to charge them is produced, electric school buses may still have well-to-wheel greenhouse gas emissions, but even these emissions will disappear as more utility companies switch to renewable energy. Eliminating ICE buses will go a long way toward making schools healthier for students.

California Air Resources Board posts revised draft of strategy to reduce “Super Pollutants”

Green Car Congress

The major sources of methane in California are livestock (~30% of the state’s methane emissions), followed by landfills and oil and gas production. Methane is 72 times more efficient at trapping heat in the atmosphere than CO 2 , which is the most prevalent global warming gas. CO 2 remains in the atmosphere for up to a century.
