To achieve goals for climate and economic growth, “negative emissions technologies” (NETs) that remove and sequester carbon dioxide from the air will need to play a significant role in mitigating climatechange, according to a new report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine.
Because of methane leakage from the natural gas infrastructure, a shift to natural gas vehicles from gasoline or diesel vehicles could lead to greater radiative forcing of the climate—i.e., Recent reports in the scientific literature and popular press have produced confusion about the climate implications of natural gas.
The Alternative and Renewable Fuels and Vehicle Technology Program’s Investment Plan allocates $176 million over the next two years to stimulate green transportation projects and encourage innovation to help meet the state’s aggressive climatechange policies. Tags: ClimateChange Hydrogen Plug-ins Policy.
Separately, Toyota announced that it is working with ExxonMobil to explore its innovative fuel blends which offer the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from road transportation up to 75% compared to conventional fuels availabletoday, according to ExxonMobil.
Vehicle and fuel technology for natural gas is availabletoday and relatively affordable, particularly in comparison with other alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs). Tags: ClimateChange Emissions Heavy-duty Natural Gas. The paper uses Brazil, India, Iran, Pakistan, the US and Europe as case studies.
Although many of these technologies are availabletoday, the emissions reductions and fuel economy improvements proposed would involve more widespread use of these technologies across the light-duty vehicle fleet. Tags: ClimateChange Emissions Fuel Efficiency Policy. Preliminary regulatory impact analysis.
The agencies and ARB considered technologies that are readily availabletoday as well as technologies that may not currently be in production but are beyond the research phase and under development and which are expected to be in production in the MYs 2017-2025 timeframe. hybrid/vehicle electrification technologies.
By MY 2026, EPA projects that the final standards can be met with sales of about 17% electric vehicles (EVs), and wider uptake of advanced gasoline engine and vehicle technologies availabletoday.
The implication for biofuels is important, to the extent they are aimed at meeting climate and petroleum use reduction goals. The reference case scenarios assume no change to GHG intensity from current levels. while the climate-targeted scenarios assume that electricity supply is decarbonized by 80%. —Meier et al.
Even though most of the key fuel economy technologies are availabletoday, additional breakthroughs and cost reductions would help, including lighter materials, advanced combustion systems and better lubricants. Research, development, demonstration and deployment (RDD&D) of advanced fuel economy technologies is still needed.
Around $176million will be invested over the next two years as the California Energy Commission adopts the Alternative and Renewable Fuels and Vehicle Technology Program’s Investment Plan to encourage innovation and meet the state’s climatechange policies.
The two companies believe this strategy will work, citing research carried out for the French carmaker which indicates that 80% of people in Europe currently travel less than 60km per day; well within the range of many electric vehicles availabletoday.
To lessen these emissions and their contribution to global climatechange, the automobile industry is ramping up the production of electric-powered cars and trucks. Many of the electric vehicles availabletoday have familiar brand names, but under the hood, these cars often rely on the technology and expertise of outside suppliers.
Maybe you missed their headline yesterday that read: Scientists: Pace of ClimateChange Exceeds Estimates. A piece so filled with lies and disinformation it was eviscerated by climate expert Joe Romm in his piece “ Is George Will the Most Ignorant National Columinst? They haven’t for a long time now.
Climate pledges by governments to date—even if fully achieved—would fall well short of what is required to bring global energy-related carbon dioxide emissions to net zero by 2050 and give the world an even chance of limiting the global temperature rise to 1.5 °C,
We also mined or extracted and burned coal and oil, releasing millions of years of stored solar energy indiscriminately, altering Earth’s climate. The known fuel technologies availabletoday that are being researched and developed, which we must examine, are the following: 1. The Hydrogen car and its issues.
