It’s another sign that the global autoindustry isn’t ready for the shift to EVs and will be caught unawares if it doesn’t ramp EV production fast enough. more… The post ICE car values plummet in China and it is the canary in the coal mine appeared first on Electrek.
And to support that innovation, we will invest fifteen billion dollars a year to develop technologies like wind power and solar power; advanced biofuels, clean coal, and more fuel-efficient cars and trucks built right here in America. But we are committed to the goal of a re-tooled, re-imagined autoindustry that can compete and win.
This fact is due in large part to SO 2 and GHG emissions from coal-fired power plants.Although the costs of damages from vehicle-associated emissions are significant, the damage reductions that can be gained through electrification are small compared to the total cost of owning and operating a vehicle. Source: CMU Policy Brief.
The Rice lab of chemist James Tour introduced flash Joule heating in 2020 to convert coal, petroleum coke and trash into graphene. Rice University chemists working with researchers at the Ford Motor Company are turning plastic parts from end-of-life vehicles into graphene via the university’s flash Joule heating process ( earlier post ).
Among drivers testing the vehicles were CRI staff and members of the Icelandic Automobile Association as well as several local service providers in the autoindustry. Currently, China produces most of its methanol from coal. Last week, in collaboration with Geely Holdings and Zixin Industrial Co.,
However, Winterkorn said, VW, and the German autoindustry in general, abandoned the early advantage and work in electromobility. And the autoindustry doesn’t hold back on announcements. Does it ever make sense ecologically to operate a car with power from a coal-fired plant? We are witnessing an electro-hype.
Because if all we do is flood the market with BEVs – and New South Wales still has 75 per cent of its power generated by coal – all we have done is shift the emissions from the tailpipe to the power station.” But in a recent report industry super funds warned the transition risked falling behind without increased investment.
Anticipated demand from the autoindustry—as well as solar-panel manufacturing and data centers—is leading utilities to forecast single-digit percentage growth every year through the end of the decade in some regions, according to report.
autoindustry about when, not if, Chinese automakers will enter the U.S. The Wuling I visited has many outer vestiges of its old state-owned days including disused railroad tracks running into the plant and piles of coal still left from when it was burned to heat and light the minivan plant.
This research could provide sufficient information for the autoindustry to make decisions about the marketability of hydrogen-powered vehicles by 2015. The new report calls for the partnership’s sustained support of a balanced portfolio of nearer-term and longer-term options, including research on fuel cells and hydrogen technologies.
Improving hydrogen-from-coal technologies, including developing membranes for separation and purification that show the potential, at laboratory scale, to achieve the 2010 technical targets for flux (200 ft 3 /hr/ft 2 ). However, some targets and milestones relating to non-critical path technologies—e.g.,
Battery metals have been a bright spot for the mining industry in recent years. Nickel tumbled 45% last year, weighed down by a flood of low-cost supply from Indonesia, where new techniques to produce battery-grade material are threatening to completely upend the industry. and General Motors Co.
The Chairman of Maruti Suzuki India Limited who is also a seasoned veteran in the autoindustry spanning over four decades, firmly advocates that for India to progress into a developed nation, accessible mobility options are imperative. Ultimately, we have to get to fuels that will meet the carbon emission requirements.
The rise in energy prices over the past several years has pushed consumers to value increased efficiency and influenced the autoindustry through a major re-orientation toward greater fuel efficiency. Now we are seeing the tempering of the last significant driver of oil demand in developed countries—petroleum for transportation.”.
Electric Cars and The Volt Can Transform America and the AutoIndustry TODAY!!! More importantly, rather than coal or other unsustainable energy sources, if wind, solar, geothermal and tidal energy become more of the energy portfolio, the vehicles are fully zero emission and oil free! 2) Electric cars cost pennies to charge.
But its monumentally less pollution , even on the national (half-coal) grid. Objections have come from those who say that this name puts advocates on the defensive to autoindustry views that plugging in is bad (Ads for hybrids emphasize that "you dont have to plug it in.").
Kwong said Toyota is concerned PHEVs might just replace gas problems with more coal emissions, since the cars will require more electricity from utilities. in China they make electricity by burning coal, so China is not the place for electric cars," [Tatehito Ueda, a managing officer at Toyota Motor Corp.] Kwong asked.
’s expertise on the autoindustry in general, we are concerned that in its understanding of future pathways, it offers a flawed analysis and predictions based on business-as-usual,&# notes a posting on the California Car Initiative’s Web site. and Chrysler. Whatever B.C.G.’s — Scott 18.
And for those of us who believe that the future of the autoindustry involves a plug and a battery - Plug In America just released their press release with the following headline: Plug In America Hails Plug-in Electric Car Aid in Stimulus Bill. The coalindustry is about to get what’s coming to them and not a moment too soon.
The combination of harvesting whole forests and burning long-sequestered carbon sources such as coal or oil has impaired the Earth’s carbon cycle at an increasing pace. Then as solar, wind, water and other non-fossil fuel industries ramp up, the fossil material industry can shift to different but more lucrative customers.
This can be accomplished by building upon the above EV and ICE vehicle policy recommendations, coupled with 100 percent methane capture, retiring all coal-fired electric generation as well as converting the US electric grid with 80 percent clean energy by 2030.
economy away from dependence on fossil fuels like petroleum, coal and natural gas to 100 percent carbon-free electricity by 2035. These are complex, intertwined and global issues well beyond the control of either CARB or the autoindustry.” Such is the case with the Biden Administration’s attempted transition of the U.S.
autoindustry jobs could rise by 150,000 by 2030 if battery electric vehicles sales reach 50 percent by 2030 and the vehicle market share of U.S.-assembled It believes that there will be a net loss of 275,000 autoindustry jobs by 2040, with most of the drop off coming between 2030 and 2035.

Denmark did that with Wind Power and now most of their energy comes from wind rather than oil, natural gas, or coal. JUST TRYING TO MILK and Suck as much from the fall of the Autoindustry as possible. JUST TRYING TO MILK and Suck as much from the fall of the Autoindustry as possible. it is over, the media!,
auto jobs now vs. 2019, pre-COVID Anti-EV talk may be bluster, but the poison pill is whether it becomes part of MAGA platform First-term flashback: Coal lobbyist in charge of EPA, hobbled EV tax credit, mpg fines frozen. EV plants Tens of thousands more U.S.
This, coupled with new emissions rules that the rest of the worlds automakers hadnt prepared properly for (despite having 7 years notice) led to a glut in gas car supply mostly from foreign brands which we called the canary in the coal mine for where the global ICE car market was going.
Trump hasn’t had a well-defined platform—then or now—regarding clean energy, transportation, or the autoindustry in the same way as President Joe Biden (or, by extension, Vice President and current presidential candidate Kamala Harris). First, let’s take a look at how Trump policy affected the autoindustry in the previous term.
Estimations of the likelihood of these destructive actions can be informed by the period between 2017-2021, which was marked by severe corruption by two EPA heads with deep ties to the oil & gas and coalindustries.
