US, Canada and Mexico release atlas mapping North American potential CO2 storage capacity; 500 years of geologic storage

Green Car Congress

The US Department of Energy (DOE), Natural Resources Canada and the Mexican Ministry of Energy have released the first-ever atlas mapping the potential carbon dioxide storage capacity in North America. Those technologies can also be used for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) to produce hard-to-access oil, while storing the carbon dioxide.

EPA annual report on CO2, fuel economy and technology trends finds 2012 heading for all-time best; rapid adoption of new technologies

Green Car Congress

EPA estimates that the fleet-wide average MY 2011 CO2 emissions and fuel economy values would likely have been similar to or slightly better than MY 2010 levels if car production from major Japan-based manufacturers had not been constrained. Other highlights of the report include: Many new technologies are rapidly gaining market share.
