Meeting the goal of cutting US oil dependence depends largely on two things, Obama said: finding and producing more oil at home, and reducing dependence on oil with cleaner alternative fuels and greater efficiency. We’re also exploring and assessing new frontiers for oil and gas development from Alaska to the Mid- and South Atlantic.
As one of the outcomes of the “Three Amigos” meeting in Ottawa, Canada Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, US President Barack Obama, and Mexico President Enrique Peña Nieto committed to an “ambitious and enduring” North American Climate, Clean Energy, and Environment Partnership. 50% clean power target.
Shell has selected Ascension Parish in Louisiana as the location for a potential natural gas-to-liquids (GTL) facility. According to the terms of an incentive agreement with the state, the company at a minimum would spend $12.5 billion and create 740 direct jobs, should the project be built.
The cap-and-trade program also works in concert with other measures, such as standards for cleaner vehicles, low-carbon fuels, renewable electricity and energy efficiency, and complements and supports California’s existing efforts to reduce smog-forming and toxic air pollutants. Click to enlarge.
During each of up to 3,000 revolutions per minute in the research engine, a minute amount of fuel shoots into the glass cylinder, is compressed and ignited, and the exhaust gas then expelled. As a result, the synthetic fuels assure a more effective mixture preparation process, cleaner combustion and lower emissions.
Shell and its affiliates will build two additional small-scale natural gas liquefaction units to provide liquefied natural gas (LNG) fuel for marine and heavy-duty on-road customers in North America. Shell is also working to use natural gas as a fuel in its own operations. The new Mountains scenario: gas as the energy backbone.
The mayors of London, Paris, Los Angeles, Copenhagen, Barcelona, Quito, Vancouver, Mexico City, Milan, Seattle, Auckland and Cape Town have pledged to procure only zero-emission buses from 2025 and ensure that a major area of their city is zero emission by 2030.
By 2017, we expect our net crude oil and natural gas production to grow about 20 percent to 3.3 Our 2012 capital program includes spending of nearly $9 billion in the United States, with major new investments in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico, the Marcellus Shale in Pennsylvania and our refinery at Pascagoula, Mississippi.
The executives also foresee shale oil and gas having a transformative effect on helping to meet the world’s energy needs, according to the results of the 9 th Annual Energy Survey conducted by the KPMG Global Energy Institute. Alternative energy sources. Even batteries and fuel cells have entered the conversation. —John Kunasek.
The findings suggest that developing nations are moving toward cleaner power but not nearly fast enough to limit global CO 2 emissions. This is due to wind and solar projects generating only when natural resources are available while oil, coal, and gas plants can potentially produce around the clock. thousand in 2017.
This geographically diverse group comprises Brazil and Mexico in the Americas; South Africa and Nigeria in Africa; Egypt and Turkey in North Africa/Mediterranean; Saudi Arabia and Iran in the Middle East; as well as Thailand and Indonesia in Asia. The OECD represents the developed economies.
EIA’s Annual Energy Outlook 2019 projects continued robust growth in US energy production, emergence of the United States as an energy exporter, and a cleaner S electric power generation mix. Light-duty vehicle energy efficiencies are affected by current federal fuel economy and greenhouse gas emission standards. Other findings.
Emissions will be further reduced by the use of an advanced dual-fuel marine engine with direct injection and exhaust gas treatment. These are used exclusively for the Volkswagen Group in a round trip scheme across the North Atlantic serving the markets of Canada, the USA, Mexico and Europe.
FTA’s Low-No Program supports transit agencies in purchasing or leasing low- or no-emission buses and other transit vehicles that use technologies such as battery electric and fuel-cell power to provide cleaner, more efficient transit service in communities across the country. New Mexico Department of Transportation.
The new model, which is part of GE’s ecomagination program, delivers a cleaner, faster, safer and more reliable alternative to the aging North American fleet of DC-powered locomotives. million tons of carbon dioxide, a major greenhouse gas. The new Model ES44C4. Click to enlarge.
San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) says the maiden voyage of their Class 8 heavy-duty electric semi marks the first time an electric semi has crossed the border hauling a standard load, marking an important milestone as the two nations move toward a net zero future. The big Petes have approx.
Honeywell’s UOP—a major international supplier and licensor of technology for petroleum refining, gas processing, petrochemical production and major manufacturing industries—has also been an early leader in developing technologies for the production of renewable drop-in hydrocarbon fuels. —Al-Sabawi and Chen (2012).
When Tesla unveiled the Megapack, the company positioned it as a battery that had the potential to render traditional coal and gas-fired peaker plants obsolete. Megapacks are able to support the grid just as well, if not better, than peaker plants, and they are also a whole lot cleaner. .
Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology is expected to support a cleaner, more resilient electrical grid, while enabling EV owners to save money while charging their vehicles. However, some sort of managed charging platform will be needed to match up EV owners with local utilities.
After launching in key markets like Mexico, Brazil, Japan, Europe, Thailand, and other Southeast Asian countries, BYD is already a leading EV brand. Although China is leading the transition, many countries are setting aggressive EV goals as they look toward a cleaner, more sustainable future. And it’s not only in China.
As the world’s most widely manufactured material, concrete—and especially the cement within it—is also a major contributor to climate change, accounting for around 6 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. Currently that means burning coal, coke, fuel oil, or natural gas, often along with waste plastics and tires.
They are looking at cutting the nation’s greenhouse gas output by targeting, in separate ways, three major sources of emissions: electric utilities, transportation and industry. states are already actively participating in the design and implementation of three regional cap-and-trade programs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
By Kathy Harris & Noah Long New Mexicans will now be able to buy cleaner, zero-emission vehicles in the state, thanks to Advanced Clean Cars (ACC) standards unanimously adopted by the Joint Albuquerque New Mexico Environmental Improvement and Albuquerque-Bernalillo County Air Quality Control Boards (“Boards”).
The name Mazda Connect is used in Japan, US, Canada and Mexico. The result is cleaner combustion with low NO x and soot emissions. Also due to the low compression ratio, the SKYACTIV-D diesel engine also burns cleaner, discharging far fewer nitrous oxides while producing virtually no soot. Source: Mazda. Click to enlarge.
For $100 million in one year, we’ll demonstrate how to rapidly reduce use of oil in transportation with safe, warrantied retrofits of tens of millions gas-guzzlers. We now have a sprinkling of promising companies working to get funded to convert gas-guzzlers. In the key area of transportation, we submit our Drive Star proposal.
While this process still produces waste carbon, the process can be made cleaner by capturing the waste carbon and injecting it into permanent underground storage zones. More importantly, hydrogen is already available for demonstration with new large clean hydrogen production hubs scheduled to come on line in the near future.
Brown, analyzed the exhaust from more than 200 commercial vessels, including cargo ships, tankers and cruise ships, in the Gulf of Mexico, Galveston Bay, and the Houston Ship Channel. As a result, some ships use “cleaner,” low-sulfur fuels, while others continue to use the high-sulfur counterparts. Earlier post.). James Corbett.
