Cleaner and Hawaii

As states use less coal for electricity, driving electric vehicles becomes even cleaner

Green Car Congress

APRIL 13, 2020

In 2018, only two states used oil to generate more than 3% of the electricity: 68% in Hawaii and 12% in Alaska.) (Oil is used relatively infrequently in the United States as an energy source for electricity. The results indicate that the percentage of electricity generated from coal decreased from 2008 to 2018 in 49 states.

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Lab (Berkeley Lab) and the University of Hawaii have provided direct experimental evidence for the validity of a proposed mechanism for the first step in the process that transforms gas-phase molecules into solid particles such as soot and other carbon-based compounds.

That insight could also help the car industry make cleaner combustion engines. They believe that the finding could one day lead to cleaner combustion engines. Furthermore, equipping airplanes and the gasoline-powered component of hybrid plug-in EVs with cleaner combustion engines could help reduce CO 2 emissions. Zhao et al.

Australia introduces its first exhaust rule but makes all the mistakes the US did

Automakers often bring their dirtiest cars to Australia, and don’t offer better and cleaner electric models in the country. As a result, the average new car in Australia consumes 6.9L/100km, 100km, compared to 4.2L in the US and 3.5L The new emissions rules intend to change that, and to increase availability of EV options for the country.
