Shipping industry eyeing hydrogen fuel cells as possible pathway to emissions reduction; work by Germanischer Lloyd and DNV

Green Car Congress

Although technical and operational efficiency improvements in conventional propulsion systems may lower CO 2 emissions from ships by as much as 20% across the global fleet, such marked gains in efficiency will not stop the steady increase of total emissions from shipping or meet the ambitious reduction targets of the future.

PHEVLERs are the Zero CO2 Clean Green Machines of the Future

Green Car Congress

PHEVLERs produce no tailpipe emissions in local driving. The long electric range of the PHEVLER ensures that most if not all local driving will be emissions-free in population centers where air quality problems are greatest. PHEVLERs make our electric grid more efficient. [ PHEVLERs help support the electric grid.

BMW i home energy storage system integrates 2nd-life i3 vehicle batteries

Green Car Congress

Following in-vehicle usage, the BMW i3 battery retains most of its original capacity, thus continuing to offer years of emissions free power storage and expanding the sustainability concept beyond the individual vehicle life. The “plug and play” nature of the BMW i3 battery application in this system is a key element in its design.
