Ørsted acquiring 45% ownership of Liquid Wind FlagshipONE e-methanol project

Green Car Congress

Ørsted and Liquid Wind AB have reached an agreement under which Ørsted will acquire a 45% ownership share of Liquid Wind AB’s FlagshipONE e-methanol project. Liquid Wind AB plans to establish a series of facilities across Sweden to decarbonize the maritime sector, of which FlagshipONE will be the first. Earlier post.).

California 2017 GHG inventory shows 1.2% total drop from 2016; transportation sector emissions up 1%

Green Car Congress

Changes in emissions by Scoping Plan sector between 2000 and 2017. The transportation sector remains the largest source of GHG emissions in the state, and saw a 1% increase in emissions in 2017. The transportation sector represents tailpipe emissions from on-road vehicles and direct emissions from other off-road mobile sources.

Kopernikus Project P2X integrated container-scale test facility produces first fuels from air-captured CO2 and green power

Green Car Congress

World’s first integrated Power-to-Liquid (PtL) test facility to synthesize fuels from the air-captured carbon dioxide. Worldwide, wind and sun supply a sufficient amount of energy, but not always at the right time. Dittmeyer suggests that is thus only reasonable to store unused green power in chemical energy carriers.

Study: California will hit climate targets >100 years too late at current pace of reductions; transportation, wildfires & landfills

Green Car Congress

Since 2000, electricity has been the only economic sector that has seen continuous and significant improvements in reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Over the last 17 years, the industrial, residential and transportation sectors have cut their emissions by less than 5 percent. percent and 0.1

EIA: US energy-related CO2 dropped 2.7% in 2015; of end-use sectors, only transportation increased

Green Car Congress

Of the four end-use sectors, only transportation emissions increased in 2015 (+2.1%). The downward pressure on emissions was slightly offset by an uptick in transportation energy consumption that was influenced by lower fuel prices that put upward pressure on emissions. decline in energy intensity (Btu/GDP). from 2014 levels.
