Mercedes-Benz is investing a double-digit million Euro amount in the construction of the balance sheet CO 2 -neutral plant, which is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Economics and ClimateProtection as part of a scientific research project.
Following in the next stages with the use of new production technologies, it will enable us to be producing climate-neutral steel in Bremen by the mid-30s. The HyBit project shows the great benefits that hydrogen has with regard to climateprotection, also or especially in industrial applications. —EWE CEO Stefan Dohler.
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”.
Lower Saxony’s Ministry of Economy and Transport has supported LNVG’s purchase of another 14 hydrogen trains with more than €81 million (US$94 million). The emission-free drive technology of the Coradia iLint provides a climate-friendly alternative to conventional diesel trains, particularly on non-electrified lines.
Last week, the European Commission adopted a package of proposals to make the EU’s climate, energy, land use, transport and taxation policies fit for reducing net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030, compared to 1990 levels (Fit for 55). Earlier post.). As a result, all new cars registered as of 2035 will be zero-emission.
Even if times change, one thing remains constant: the importance of the DEK for the economy, transport and, above all, the people of the region. Formerly an assembly line for coal transports, today a guarantee for climateprotection.
The Chancellor candidate seeks to find a balance between climate change policies and economic growth in Germany. . On his website , Laschet indicates that he seeks climateprotection through innovation and competition. Three objectives are listed under the heading: .
Together with Mahindra, we want to contribute significantly to the electrification of India, a huge automotive market with enormous growth potential and high relevance for climateprotection. The MEB is thus progressively developing into the leading open platform for e-mobility, generating significant volume and economies of scale.
This development was sponsored by the Federal Ministry for the Economy and ClimateProtection (BMWK). In addition to the fuel cell, the use of hydrogen as a combustion fuel has the potential to make many heavy-duty and off-highway applications climate-neutral particularly quickly. MAHLE flat membrane humidifier.
Sustainable Communities : The Sustainable Communities and ClimateProtection Act of 2008 (SB 375) directs California’s metropolitan planning organizations to develop sustainable communities strategies that meet regional greenhouse gas reduction targets through integrated land use, housing and transportation planning.
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.,
Mechanical recycling of plastics has been making a positive contribution to circular economy, raw material security, and climateprotection for decades. The companies will focus on developing and accelerating chemical recycling with a target to reach an annual capacity to process more than 200 kilotons of waste plastic.
Hydrogen is a versatile energy source that has a key role to play in the energy transition process and therefore in climateprotection. One technology on its own will not be enough to enable climate-neutral mobility worldwide. After all, it is one of the most efficient ways of storing and transporting renewable energies.
While including all fuels under a carbon cap is necessary for an effective climate policy, DeCicco argues, it is not sufficient for addressing all fuels-related emissions. “ Tags: Biomass Climate Change Emissions Fuels Land use Lifecycle analysis Policy. DeCicco (2009). Emissions missed by a fossil-based cap.
fuel economy of the aircraft operated) are the two most important factors influencing airline fuel efficiency; together they explain about 80% of the variation in fuel efficiency among the airlines studied. Seating configuration and aircraft fuel burn (i.e.,
Together with Mahindra, we want to contribute significantly to the electrification of India , a huge automotive market with enormous growth potential and high relevance for climateprotection,” said Thomas Schmall, a member of VWs Group of Board Management. . VWGroup electrifies India!
Using the e-manager, drivers can pre-program the charge start time and climate control pre-conditioning (switching on the parking heater in winter or parking air conditioning in summer for up to 30 minutes; if not plugged into a charger for up to 10 minutes). Among the other maps + more functions and displays specific to the e-up!
…The most urgent task therefore is the reduction of NO x pollution from diesel vehicles as well as the further optimization of diesel technology—for the health protection of citizens, in the interest of the quality of life and functionality of our cities and for the mobility needs of citizens and the economy. …In
. “This is of particular importance in view of the limited availability of important and highly sought-after raw materials such as lithium, cobalt or nickel,” noted Thekla Walker, Minister for the Environment, ClimateProtection and the Energy Sector Baden-Württemberg.
The European Union and Serbia signed a deal Friday to develop the supply of lithium seen as a crucial building block to achieve Europe’s transition to a green economy. Protestors also say the country is taking the biggest environmental risks with the mine for the sake of the EU’s transition to a green economy.
There are more than twenty international environmental organizations supporting PHEV including World Wide Fund for Nature, National Wildlife Federation, Friends of the Earth, Alliance for ClimateProtection, Set America Free Coalition and the Rainforest Action Network.
