FEBRUARY 5, 2020

Due to the continued exposure of millions of Americans to poor air quality, both the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and California Air Resources Board (CARB) have announced rulemakings focused on revising the heavy-duty truck emission standards, with a particular focus on tighter limits for oxides of nitrogen (NO x ).

Because of the shifts in the materials mix of the vehicles, the material resources requirements for manufacturing also changed. Where energy resources are concerned, lignite, hard coal and uranium figure principally in car production. Natural gas and crude oil are strongly influenced by fuel consumption during the use phase.

Using the PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle) to Transition Society Seamlessly and Profitably From Fossil Fuel to 100% Renewable Energy

Green Car Congress

JULY 17, 2015

The PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle), a subset of the electric car, combines a primary electric motor with a much smaller back-up engine fueled with a hydrocarbon/biofuel mix. (In In this paper PHEV refers solely to the long-range PHEV of 60 miles (100 km) electric-only range.) It is much more than that.

OCTOBER 21, 2015

Electrochemical reduction of water through the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is a clean and sustainable approach to generate molecular hydrogen (H 2 ), which has been proposed as a future energy carrier. To expose more active sites, these catalysts are generally downsized into nanoparticulate form and stabilized onto certain substrates.
