While the country is one of the world’s largest producers of wind and solar renewable energy, it faces the issue of renewable energy being weather-dependent and prone to fluctuation. From well to wheel, Geely’s methanol vehicles allows for a 70% reduction in CO 2 emissions compared to gasoline models.

CRI, founded in 2006 in Reykjavik, Iceland, is developing technology to produce renewable methanol from clean energy and recycled CO 2 emissions. Vulcanol is CRI’s brand name for renewable methanol, produced from CO 2 and hydrogen from renewable sources of electricity (hydro, geothermal, wind and solar).

Renewables provide a less expensive and eco-friendly energy source as a means to handle the growing pressure on the grid caused by multiple factors including extreme temperature fluctuations driving up demand for more electric heating and cooling. Solar and wind are the easiest to locate, scale, and convert to energy.

If it’s manufactured on a ‘dirty’ power grid it becomes a major source of emissions over the EV lifecycle. The New Zealand Power Grid. New Zealand has the third highest rate of renewable energy as a portion of primary supply in the OECD (after Norway and Iceland). EV Batteries as Storage to Support the Electricity Grid.

However, the environmental impact of driving an EV depends on the electricity grid used for charging. In countries where electricity is generated from renewable energy (solar, wind, hydro) , EVs are significantly cleaner than gasoline cars. The cleaner the electricity grid, the greener the EV.
