Report argues advanced HD natural gas vehicles foundational for California to hit air and climate goals; near zero-emission potential

Green Car Congress

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.

million new electric vehicles would have to be purchased to compensate for the otherwise newly registered vehicles with combustion engines. It is important that climate policy is neutral in terms of technology; in other words that it sets climate protection goals without stipulating the technologies to be used to achieve them.

Mercedes breaks ground on new battery recycling facility in Germany

Teslarati

This is achieved through a mix of solar energy installed at the facility and green energy purchased from the grid. While at the same time, national governments are also incentivizing many of these projects to help reduce the waste that could become an issue in a wholly electrified future. Late last month, the U.S.

Perspective: Regional Greenhouse Gas Cap-and-Trade Programs May be the Solution

Green Car Congress

If they don’t have enough allowances to cover their emissions they must purchase more or face a penalty. The opportunities for private-parties to buy and sell emissions allowances, and to purchase any allowances auctioned by the state, lie behind cap and trade’s potential to achieve emissions reductions at low cost to the overall economy.

U.K. Startup’s Digital Dyeing Printers Save Energy, Water

Cars That Think

Unsurprisingly: apart from some occasional optimizations (less chemicals, better waste recycling), processes haven’t changed. There is a massive waste, alerts Alchemie Technology: About 30 tons of water is used to dye a single ton of fabric. With climate protection, we have become used to minute progress, at the best.
