John DeCicco at the University of Michigan argues that to reduce transportation sector greenhouse gas emissions, the proper policy focus should be upstream in sectors that provide the fuel, rather than downstream on the choice of fuels in the automobile. The paper is available from the Social Science Research Network (SSRN).
Including biofuels under a cap-and-trade scheme could create a more complete carbon management framework for the transportation fuels sector, according to a new peer-reviewed discussion paper by Dr. John DeCicco. The “renewability shortcut ”. DeCicco (2009).
The legislation also proposes numerous actions against financing and support for fossil fuel industries. Imported fuels and products would also be charged the same carbon fee that domestic fuels and products play, unless the exporting nation has similar climate program and already charges a fee on carbon. Debt reduction.
These electricity-based synthetic fuels enable nearly-CO 2 -neutral operation of combustion engines. The additional capital will be used to develop industrial eFuel facilities in Chile, the US and Australia, which have large supplies of renewable energy. Porsche has been researching the use of renewablefuels for some time.
Over the past year and a half, the company has invested around €10 million at Rolls-Royce Solutions in Augsburg in test bench modernization, hydrogen infrastructure and other measures as part of its ‘Net Zero at Power Systems’ climateprotection program. Otto Preiss, Rolls-Royce Power Systems Chief Technology Officer and COO.
Instead, DeCicco proposes a method using annual basis carbon (ABC) accounting to track the stocks and flows of carbon and other relevant greenhouse gases (GHGs) throughout fuel supply chains. ABC accounting with appropriate reporting periods can also be used to manage carbon stocks and sinks.
Initial results from a joint pilot test of 14 series-produced Mercedes-Benz trucks and buses running NExBTL renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil, HVO) since mid-2008 show a reduction in NO x emissions of up to 15%, and in CO 2 emissions of more than 60% compared to fossil fuels.
Currently unavoidable CO 2 emissions are offset by investments in certified climateprotection projects elsewhere. This is a burden on the CO 2 balance, especially in countries that have a high proportion of fossil fuels in their electricity mix. LG Chem is supplying the cells for the ID., As a result, the ID.
These technologies include, but are not limited to, advanced aftertreatment and waste heat recovery; lean-burn plus lean-NO x emissions traps; integration of zero-emission miles technologies; further refinements in reducing friction and parasitic energy losses; and widespread utilization of renewable and natural gas and hydrogen blends.
The future International Standard is expected to be a key tool in helping governments meet their alternative fuel targets. We clearly need biomass as a source of renewable energy. We cannot do without the contribution to climateprotection made by sustainable and ecologically produced biomass.
Hydrogen and fuel cell applications are a future technology with great potential for the transport sector. We must use all technologies to achieve our climateprotection goals. The system must be operated 100% with electricity from renewable energy sources. Applications for funding can be submitted until 28 April 2023.
The California Energy Commission’s (CEC) Alternative and RenewableFuel and Vehicle Technology Program (ARFVTP) approved four regional planning grants to prepare for electric vehicles. 200,000 to the Ventura County Air Pollution Control District.
Neste, the world’s leading provider of renewable diesel, renewable jet fuel, and an expert in delivering drop-in renewable chemical solutions, and REMONDIS, one of the world’s largest privately owned recycling, service and water companies, have signed an agreement to collaborate in the development of chemical recycling of plastic waste.
Hydrogen is a versatile energy source that has a key role to play in the energy transition process and therefore in climateprotection. After all, it is one of the most efficient ways of storing and transporting renewable energies. The BMW Group sources the individual fuel cells from the Toyota Motor Corporation.
Karliczek, for his part, noted in a press release that such a project is incredibly important since “green hydrogen” is a valuable building block for climateprotection. . “Climateprotection can only succeed with green hydrogen.
In an event in Bern, Switzerland, Swiss National Council member and president of the Clean Fuel Now initiative Thomas Böhni filled up his Audi A2 with 100% synthetic diesel (Audi e-diesel) produced by sunfire GmbH to draw attention to the need to remove what he terms unjustified Swiss restrictions on synthetic fuels. Earlier post.).
In Tokyo, Daimler Trucks & Buses recently celebrated the world premiere of the FUSO brand fuel-cell prototype “Vision F-Cell”, thus further strengthening its activity in the hydrogen field. At Daimler Trucks & Buses we are clearly committed to the goals of the Paris ClimateProtection Agreement and thus to the decarbonization of our industry.
