Germany’s Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and ClimateProtection (BMWi) has approved €900 million for the innovative funding instrument H2Global. Therefore, we are already starting the international ramp-up of the hydrogen economy and building long-term value creation and supply chains through the H2Global instrument.
The fuel, jointly developed by Volkswagen, the Coburg University and other project partners, contains up to 33% renewable components based exclusively on residual and waste materials and enables CO 2 savings of at least 20% compared to conventional diesel thanks to the use of biofuels. Volkswagen employees tested the new fuel initially.
Neste, the world’s leading provider of renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) has signed an agreement to supply SAF to DHL Express, the express service arm of Deutsche Post DHL Group, world’s leading mail and logistics company. Earlier this year Neste established a continuous supply of sustainable aviation fuel to SFO.
Around 80% of the approximately 7,500 GWh produced by the wind park will be supplied as green electricity for innovative technologies for CO 2 reduction and thus power the transformation of BASF sites in Germany, especially the Verbund site in Ludwigshafen. RWE will develop, build and operate the wind park. BASF will own a stake.
Rolls-Royce is further developing its mtu gas engine portfolio for power generation and cogeneration to run on hydrogen as a fuel and thus enable a climate-neutral energy supply. In addition, fuel cells powered by 100% green hydrogen can play an important role in future energy supply in combination with renewable energies.
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.
The Chilean-German energy partnership launched in 2019 offers great potential to cooperate on climateprotection and the indispensable transformation of the fuel industry. Haru Oni will produce green hydrogen via electrolysis using renewable energy from the wind. We firmly support this groundbreaking project.
They also set the standard in terms of rapid responsiveness and adaptability, absorbing supply bottlenecks and shortages comparatively spontaneously and reacting quickly to fluctuations in demand. This will enhance not only volume and market planning but also supply chain and inventory management and support targeted work on quality as well.
More specifically, he suggests that other than supporting fundamental R&D, programs to promote alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) “ are not currently warranted for climateprotection. The paper is available from the Social Science Research Network (SSRN). —“Factor Analysis of Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Automobiles”.
This will be made possible, among other things, by the consistent avoidance and reduction of CO 2 emissions in the supply chain. Currently unavoidable CO 2 emissions are offset by investments in certified climateprotection projects elsewhere. LG Chem is supplying the cells for the ID., As a result, the ID.
The additional capital will be used to develop industrial eFuel facilities in Chile, the US and Australia, which have large supplies of renewable energy. EFuels make an important contribution to climateprotection and complement our electromobility in a meaningful way.
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. Manfred Schuckert, company strategist at Daimler AG.
Establish Fuel and Feedstock Accounting Standards (FFAS) for rating fuels and feedstocks based on uncapped GHG emissions throughout their supply chains; while voluntary, FFAS ratings would provide a way to reduce refiners’ allowance requirements as defined by Part (1). The “renewability shortcut ”. DeCicco (2009). DeCicco (2009).
As this proportion grows, however, the basic dilemma associated with these renewable energy sources remains: first, electricity cannot always be supplied when it is required and second, on sunny days and in high-wind conditions, there is often a lack of capacity for storing the energy generated.
ISO/PC 248 will bring together international expertise and state-of-the-art best practice to discuss the social, economic and environmental aspects of the production, supply chain, and use of bioenergy, and identify criteria that could prevent it from being environmentally destructive or socially aggressive.
We must use all technologies to achieve our climateprotection goals. We supported the use of hydrogen in transport to make mobility and logistics climate-friendly. It is about strengthening the entire hydrogen ecosystem, increasing supply and demand and positioning the transport sector as a reliable and purchasing customer.
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. Such a protocol would enable producers to obtain a verifiable credit for net carbon uptake in biofuel or fuel feedstock products.
This new facility with an investment volume of more than $50 million is scheduled to supply the market with cathode materials for the production of high-performance lithium-ion batteries from mid-2012. Part of the investment is going to the construction of a new cathode materials plant in Elyria, Ohio. Earlier post.)
For there too, electric mobility and climateprotection are a mega-topic for many states and big cities—and we have the innovative solutions for tomorrow’s traffic. The main focus of this research is on how to harmonize electricity sales from renewable sources with regard to electric vehicle consumption.
The 12 V DC electrical system is simultaneously supplied with low voltage by a DC/DC converter. 3 is Volkswagen’s first vehicle produced with a carbon-neutral balance along the entire supply chain. It has been externally provided with renewable energy generated by hydroelectric power stations since 2017. Sustainability.
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. We should use this potential to also accelerate the transformation of the mobility sector.
The bill, SB-233 , aims to advance grid resilience and protect the climate by using EVs as “batteries on wheels,” tapping their stored energy to balance electricity supply and demand rather than bringing high-polluting peak generators online. California, the EV adoption and clean energy leader in the U.S.,
Hydrogen has the potential to increase the proportion of renewable energies used, particularly in the transport and heating sectors. Hydrogen generated using renewable energies can thus significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the transport and heating sectors.
Via a DC/DC converter it also supplies the vehicle’s circuitry with voltage of 12 V. kW DC/DC converter integrated into the power electronics is responsible for supplying the vehicle’s 12-V power circuit and thus works like a transformer. can also be prepared for the combined charging system (CCS) using a DC power supply.
