GM Spring Hill to run on 100% solar power by 2022

Green Car Congress

This project is expected to increase GM’s use of renewable energy to more than 50% of its sourced electricity by 2023, moving GM closer to its goal of sourcing 100% of electricity from renewables in the US by 2030 at GM-owned sites.

Fraunhofer IFF team designing hydrogen factory of the future

Green Car Congress

KG in the HyPerFerMent I project to produce renewable hydrogen from biomass. Since systemically integrated hydrogen production is important to the researchers, they will not only be using the hydrogen produced during electrolysis but also the oxygen—for welding processes or for ozonation in sewage treatment plants, for example.

Modelling the Impact of PHEVs on Ozone in Denver

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the University of Colorado, Boulder and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) modeled the emissions impact had plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) replaced light duty gasoline vehicles in the Denver, Colorado area in summer 2006. Ozone concentration increases were modeled for small areas near central Denver.

Ethanol and Ozone

Plugs and Cars

Of our "alternative fuel" options, only electricity can truly be made renewably (wind, solar, geothermal, small hydro), with no carbon or other noxious emissions. Tags: renewable electricity ethanol. And only electric drive cars can operate truly zero-emission.

Airborne measurements show ozone-forming VOCs emissions from ethanol plant higher than government estimates

Green Car Congress

VOCs and nitrogen oxides react with sunlight to form ground-level ozone, the main component of smog. Over the past decade, because of the renewable fuel mandate, we have added 10 percent of ethanol to all the gasoline that is sold in the U.S. and so the question is: what does that do to the environment.
