DOE: Small SUVs halve lifetime GHG emissions as EVs vs. gas

Baua Electric

A small electric SUV with 300 miles of range produces 52% fewer life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions than a comparable gasoline vehicle, according to the U.S. Comparison of 2024 lifetime greenhouse gas emissions of small SUVs (via U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). This is already happening.

Study reveals hybrids could have up to 4.9X lifetime emissions vs BEVs

Teslarati

While hybrid vehicles tend to be grouped together with battery electric cars as options for clean, sustainable transportation, they could be up to 4.9 times dirtier than comparable battery electric vehicles that are charged using renewable sources. The ICCT also predicted that battery electric vehicles are only bound to get cleaner.

Air Products announces multi-billion dollar net-zero blue hydrogen energy complex in Edmonton, Alberta

Green Car Congress

This development is consistent with Air Products’ growth strategy of executing global megaprojects that enable a transition to a cleaner, more sustainable energy future. The new facility will capture more than 95% of CO 2 produced by generating hydrogen from the feedstock natural gas and store it safely back underground (i.e.,

Volvo CE and Rolls-Royce develop wood-burning charger for off-grid EVs

Baua Electric

When work is being done off the grid in remote locations, it can be hard to keep construction equipment fueled up – regardless of whether that fuel is liquid or electric. The resulting heat is converted into electric energy and stored in a connected Battery Storage Module, or BSM. Enter: the BioCharger.
