EIA: China’s use of methanol in liquid fuels has grown rapidly since 2000; >500K bpd in 2016

Green Car Congress

The report estimates consumption to have been more than 500,000 barrels per day (b/d) in 2016. After completing a re-assessment of energy use for a broad range of countries for the period 2013-14, EIA updated its historical data, with the largest changes occurring in China and other non-OECD countries.

Bloomberg NEF forecasts falling battery prices enabling surge in wind and solar to 50% of global generation by 2050

Green Car Congress

The result will be renewables eating up more and more of the existing market for coal, gas and nuclear. Coal emerges as the biggest loser in the long run. However, coal consumption was also up, growing for the first time since 2013. Coal’s share in primary energy in 2017 fell to 27.6%, the lowest since 2004.

Kawasaki Heavy and Shell to partner on technologies for transporting liquefied hydrogen by sea

Green Car Congress

Kawasaki obtained approval in principle from Nippon Kaiji Kyokai (ClassNK) for the cargo containment system in 2013. Kawasaki aims to complete development design in 2016, then subsequently move forward with commercialization. The vessel will have a cargo capacity of 2,500 m 3 , equivalent to that of coastal trading LNG vessels.

ExxonMobil predicts peak in light-duty vehicle liquid fuels ~2030, but ongoing role for oil in the mix

Green Car Congress

Our in-depth analysis shows that even if every light-duty vehicle in the world was fully electric by 2040, the demand for liquids could still be similar to levels seen in 2013. In the forecast, global transportation-related energy demand grows close to 30% from 2016 to 2040. per year; coal demand decreases about 2.4% —T.J.

Study projects emission impacts of inexpensive, efficient EVs: 36% further reduction in LDV GHG by 2050, or 9% economy-wide

Green Car Congress

They adapted cost and performance projections for LDV technologies from the National Research Council (2013) optimistic case. The model computes energy balances at all levels of an energy system from primary sources to energy services, supplies energy services at minimum total system cost, and balances commodities in each time period.
