BNEF report finds hydrogen promising decarbonization pathway, but carbon prices and emissions policies required

Green Car Congress

Hydrogen Economy Outlook , a new and independent global study from research firm BloombergNEF (BNEF), finds that clean hydrogen could be deployed in the decades to come to cut up to 34% of global greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels and industry at a manageable cost. Abatement cost with hydrogen at $1/kg (7.4/MMBtu).

GWU team suggests C2CNT carbon nanotube composites could amplify reduction of GHG emissions

Green Car Congress

In the figure "ton" refers to metric tonne and CNT, carbon nanotube. The focus of their study was the theoretical calculations of greenhouse gas CO 2 reductions using CNT composite structural materials when formed with CNTs made from CO 2 , rather than conventional high-CO 2 -emissive production techniques such as CVD.
