Geely supporting Danish initiative on e-methanol with vehicle trials in Aalborg

Green Car Congress

While the country is one of the world’s largest producers of wind and solar renewable energy, it faces the issue of renewable energy being weather-dependent and prone to fluctuation. From well to wheel, Geely’s methanol vehicles allows for a 70% reduction in CO 2 emissions compared to gasoline models.

EV myths busted: Are electric vehicles actually good for the environment?

Drive Electric NZ

Electric vehicles typically have a smaller operating carbon footprint than gasoline cars, even when accounting for the electricity used for charging. New Zealand has the third highest rate of renewable energy as a portion of primary supply in the OECD (after Norway and Iceland).
