LLNL’s Energy Flow Diagrams Show That The US Isn’t Moving The Needle On Climate Action

CleanTechnica EVs

In 7 years of electrification and deployment of wind and solar, the US barely budged the needle, in fact declining slightly to more wasted energy in 2016 and 2017 before improving again in 2018 and onward.

Biomass fuels: challenges and opportunities – ET Auto

Baua Electric

While solar and wind provide carbon-free electricity or H 2 through water splitting, they lack the ability to directly produce carbon-based fuels and chemicals without additional carbon sources. By cycling carbon through energy generation systems as biomass, it offers a means to address climate change. Dr. Gogoi is also Asst.

PHEVLERs are the Zero CO2 Clean Green Machines of the Future

Green Car Congress

1 ] The average daily driving distance in the USA is 30 miles (48 km), so PHEVLERs are vehicles with at least 60 miles (97 km) of electric range. That is, PHEVLERs can store electricity whenever sun and wind-generated electricity is plentiful, and then can send stored power back into the smart grid at times when more electric power is needed.
