Argonne releases new cradle-to-grave lifecycle analysis of US LDV vehicle-fuel pathways

Green Car Congress

The study provides a comprehensive analysis of the cost and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of a variety of vehicle-fuel pathways; the levelized cost of driving (LCD); and the cost of avoided GHG emissions. Selected fuel pathways were constrained to those deemed to be nationally scalable in the future. Fuel production pathways considered.

MIT researchers develop optimized sulfidation separation process for rare earth and other key metals

Green Car Congress

Their selective processing could also reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 60 to 90 percent compared to traditional liquid-based separation. We are trying to use materials that are abundant, economical, and readily available for sustainable materials separation, and we have expanded that domain to now include sulfur and sulfides.

Deutsche Post DHL Group sees mass market potential for synthetic fuels in 5-10 years

Green Car Congress

However, widespread commercial use of electric drive on long-haul and heavy-duty routes is not yet feasible. Liquefied natural gas (LNG) and compressed natural gas (CNG) are considered alternative fuels. Concerns about the availability and sustainability of biofuels are leading to a growing interest in what are known as e-fuels.
