FCVs fueled with low carbon, renewable hydrogen (for PC). The study developed a realistic reference case for potential GHG emission reductions under the current regulatory framework with predicted market improvements. For the reference case, the model assumed extension of the existing legislation to 2030.

NRC projections of number of PHEVs in the US light-duty fleet. Costs of light-duty plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) are high—largely due to their lithium-ion batteries—and unlikely to drastically decrease in the near future, according to a new report from the National Research Council (NRC).

and its forthcoming sequel, talks to us about the fate of GM, the downfall of hydrogen and why electric cars truly are making a comeback By Siel. Paine was one of the first to lease a General Motors EV1 in 1997 — only to get the car wrenched away from him five years later when he took it in simply to get a brake light fixed.

As one example of factors contributing to that decision, a survey of projected oil prices returned values between $30 and $250 a barrel, he said.). Referring to the PHEV/EV market, Anderman said: Lithium-ion is the preferred battery for a problematic market. By 2015, he suggests, full hybrids (e.g.,

The production costs for most chemicals via microbial fermentation are currently high compared to oil-derived products primarily because of operating costs associated with feedstock and feedstock processing. They can take carbon dioxide and hydrogen gas and turn them into chemicals such as acetone, butanol or ethanol. Jones et al.

It’s a robust technology, but you have to pay the oil price, and if you have to burn an awful lot of heat in order to enable that endothermic chemistry, if you were to care about the energy footprint of this, it’s the three pounds of CO 2 produced to make one pound of polyethylene. —Alex Tkachenko.
