Evidence from glacier ice: Until it was banned, leaded gasoline dominated the anthropogenic lead emissions in South America

Green Car Congress

Leaded gasoline was a larger emission source of the toxic heavy metal lead than mining in South America, even though the extraction of metals from the region’s mines historically released huge quantities of lead into the environment, according to a study by researchers from the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI and the University of Bern.

Rolls-Royce and SOWITEC cooperate on power-to-X projects

Green Car Congress

This green hydrogen can be used as fuel for fuel cells and hydrogen engines, to produce industrial feedstock and to produce sustainable e-fuels for marine, aviation, agriculture, mining and data center power. The plants will use renewable energy sources to generate electrical power that will be used to produce hydrogen with mtu electrolyzers.

Sodium-ion batteries are set to spark a renewable energy revolution – and Australia must be ready – ET Auto

Baua Electric

Some types of lithium mining require a lot of water and energy and have led to local pollution, such as in South America’s alpine lakes. Solar and wind are clearly now the cheapest form of electricity. The challenges posed by solar and wind generators are real. Disruptive innovations grow quickly and exponentially.

GlobalData: Hurricane Isaac to have minimal impact on Gulf refining

Green Car Congress

Refined product prices soared as refiners experienced major flooding and wind damage. However, this is a much smaller storm and far less damage to a more prepared industry is expected, according to Kerr. Roughly seven years ago, Hurricane Katrina took the same direction and devastated New Orleans and the surrounding area.
