The Stratosphere Will Be Telecom’s Next Frontier

Cars That Think

With a payload capacity of 250 kilograms and 10 kilowatts of onboard solar power capacity, the airship can power its telecom suite but also station-keep—something that neither balloons (which drift with the wind) nor fixed-wing UAVs (constrained by limited payload and power) can achieve.

Fraunhofer IFF team designing hydrogen factory of the future

Green Car Congress

Electricity sourced from sun and wind is used to split water into hydrogen and oxygen in a process called electrolysis. We additionally want to supply electricity, gas and heat to industry. It is not possible to build wind and PV plants everywhere. The hydrogen factory of the future. © Fraunhofer IFF.

Study Links Springtime Ozone Increases Above Western North America to Emissions in Asia

Green Car Congress

Springtime ozone distributions for 1984, 1995–2008 in the mid-troposphere (3.0–8.0 Springtime ozone levels above western North America are rising primarily due to air flowing eastward from the Pacific Ocean, a trend that is largest when the air originates in Asia. The US EPA recently proposed new tougher ground-level ozone standards.

Researchers fully characterize reaction that affects ground-level ozone formation; a small but significant impact on predictive models

Green Car Congress

The two combine in the atmosphere to make either nitric acid or peroxynitrous acid; the so-called branching ratio of these two chemicals is important in models of ozone production. This means less of the hydroxyl radical and nitrogen dioxide go away, leading to proportionately more ozone, mostly in polluted areas, Okumura said.

solar, wind, hydroelectric, and nuclear) as compared to the eastern US (EUS), where the electricity market is dominated by pollutant and precursor emitting combustion sources (i.e., coal, oil, natural gas, and biomass). Across scenarios, we found the more cars that transitioned to electric power, the better for summertime ozone levels.

However, emissions do not just remain in conurbations; particles and gaseous pollutants can be transported thousands of kilometers by the wind. The transport and transformation of plumes from selected European and Asian major population centers (MPCs) will now be investigated with special focus on the rate of formation of ozone and aerosols.
