Study Finds Availability of Low-CO2 Electricity and Hydrogen May Paradoxically Delay Large-Scale Transition to Electric and/or Hydrogen Vehicle Fleet

Green Car Congress

For example, the study found that the availability of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology has a major impact on the lowest cost passenger vehicle fuel and technology choice. The cost-effectiveness of measures to address climate change is enhanced through a multisector perspective. Wallington et al.

EIA Energy Outlook 2010 Reference Case Projects Moderate Growth in US Energy Consumption, Greater Use of Renewables, and Reduced Oil and Natural Gas Imports

Green Car Congress

Assuming no new policies, growth in energy-related CO 2 is driven by electricity and transportation fuel use. US reliance on imported liquid fuels is reduced by increased domestic production and greater fuel efficiency. AEO2010 presents updated projections for US energy consumption and production through 2035.

Naysayer Alert – the hydrogen red herring

My Electric Car

The energy stored within hydrogen has been imparted from electrical energy through the electrolytic hydrogen production process or more likely in the refinement of fossil fuels such as coal seam (methane) gas – both are energy intensive processes in themselves. . The reasons are numerous. .
