MITEI study finds hydrogen-generated electricity is a cost-competitive candidate for backing up wind and solar

Green Car Congress

A team at MITEI (MIT Energy Initiative) has found that hydrogen-generated electricity can be a cost-competitive option for backing up wind and solar. If we’re to achieve zero-carbon electricity, we must replace all greenhouse gas-emitting sources. Much of this information was publicly available. —Emre Gençer, co-author.

Study finds GWP of electrolyzed hydrogen to meet ORD’s fuel needs would be 2.5x that of fossil fuels with 2020 grid mix

Green Car Congress

Phil Ansell, an aerospace engineer at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, modeled the life cycle carbon dioxide equivalent emissions of liquid hydrogen production required to meet the fuel needs of Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport (ORD) with today’s electric grid mix. Or is it better to liquefy it on site at the airport?

New discovery of how carbon is stored in the Southern Ocean

Green Car Congress

A team of British and Australian scientists has discovered an important method of how carbon is drawn down from the surface of the Southern Ocean to the deep waters beneath. Until now we didn’t know exactly the physical processes of how carbon ends up being stored deep in the ocean. Richard Matear.

Audi switching from truck to rail for battery delivery

Green Car Congress

The move will significantly reduce Audi’s carbon emissions and also save money. The switch will reduce carbon emissions by around 2,600 tons every year. With this product, the power used for transportation is offset by means of climate certificates, reducing carbon emissions elsewhere.
