Argonne study compares life cycle emissions of battery-grade lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide from brines and ores

Green Car Congress

Production of Li 2 CO 3 from brine-based resources had less life cycle GHG emissions and freshwater consumption per tonne of Li 2 CO 3 than Li 2 CO 3 from ore-based resources. This study provides crucial insights into the electric mobility value chain. Kelly et al. —Veronica Gautier, SQM’s head of innovation.

Argonne study finds shale gas GHG lifecycle emissions 6% lower than natural gas, 23% lower than gasoline and 33% lower than coal; upstream methane leakage a key contributor

Green Car Congress

Life-cycle GHG emissions per MJ of fuel produced and combusted for both 100-year and 20-year time horizons. However, the range in values for shale and conventional gas overlap, so there is a statistical uncertainty whether shale gas emissions are actually lower than those of conventional natural gas.

NREL LCA Harmonization Project delivers meta-analyses of lifecycle GHG emissions for energy technologies

Green Car Congress

Analysts at the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have developed harmonized meta-analyses of lifecycle greenhouse-gas emissions from coal, wind, solar and other energy technologies. The project is an effort to leverage rigorously the many individual LCA studies to develop collective insights.

Comprehensive modeling study finds electric drive vehicle deployment has little observed effect on US system-wide emissions

Green Car Congress

The results of a new, comprehensive modeling study characterizing light-duty electric drive vehicle (EDV) deployment in the US over 108 discrete scenarios do not demonstrate a clear and consistent trend toward lower system-wide emissions of CO 2 , SO 2 , and NO x as EDV deployment increases.
