Charging network EVgo goes tagless, tests battery buffers at stations

Green Car Reports

EVgo announced earlier this week that it will be the first charging network—other than the Tesla Supercharger network, of course—to enable a feature for its DC fast chargers that doesn't rely on RFID tags or even credit cards to be activated.

Study finds that dry-feed gasification for coal-to-liquids is more efficient, lower-emitting and cheaper than slurry-feed; CCS cost-effective for reduction of CO2

Green Car Congress

Co-production is also much more efficient than the separate production of liquids and power and the difference in efficiency increases with the addition of CCS. Plant-level CO 2 emissions can be greatly reduced by using the CCS technology, the study found, without much increase in capital cost. —Mantripragada and Rubin.

pre- and post- decarbonization of the electric power sector—to which he referred as pre-CCS and post-CCS, respectively (although decarbonization was not necessarily via CCS—carbon capture and storage).) In the pre-CCS regime, CCTF plants must be co-located with (but not necessarily. —Kreutz (2010).

Canada and Alberta to Invest C$865M in Athabasca Oil Sands Carbon Capture and Storage Project

Green Car Congress

Overview of the Quest CCS project. The provincial government of Alberta and the federal government of Canada will invest C$865 million (US$822 million) in a large-scale Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) project in the Athabasca oil sands. Quest is a fully integrated CCS scheme, meaning it would capture, transport, inject and store CO 2.
