CCS Redux: Carbon Engineering’s Diesel? Just Put Electricity Into Tesla Semi Instead
For the same energy inputs you could travel 3 times as far for a 5th the CO2 emissions and well under half the cost in an electric truck.

The United States produced more crude oil than any nation at any time, according to our International Energy Statistics, for the past six years in a row. Crude oil production in the United States, including condensate, averaged 12.9 million barrels per day (b/d) in 2023, breaking the previous U.S. and global … [continued]
Low-impact supply chain will fully integrate anode active material sourcing from mining to delivering battery material Osaka, Japan – Panasonic Energy Co., Ltd., a Panasonic Group Company, recently announced that it has signed a seven-year offtake agreement for the supply of natural graphite with Nouveau Monde Graphite Inc. (“NMG”; Quebec, Canada), … [continued]
Lithium, lithium, lithium — that’s what much of the electric vehicle revolution is about now. Dramatic electric vehicle sales growth is built on dramatic increases in battery mineral extraction and processing. So, big EV mineral news is big EV news … eventually. The news this week on this front is … [continued]
Panasonic Energy and GM (together, the “Anchor Customers”) concurrently commit to multiyear offtake agreements for NMG’s active anode material, covering approximately 85% of NMG’s planned Phase-2 fully integrated production, from ore to battery materials. Offtake agreements are complemented by an aggregate US$50 million Tranche 1 Investment from Panasonic and GM to advance the development of NMG’s Phase-2 … [continued]
Natural or anthropogenic? Canada’s GHG reporting approach claims GHG emissions from wildfires are natural, but GHG removals from forests at the age of “commercial maturity”, despite being primarily natural disturbance origin, are anthropogenic. Our new study published in Frontiers in Forests and Global Change and profiled by CBC shows how Canada’s official report on forest … [continued]
The first of Grand River Transit’s electric buses will begin service next month as part of its zero-emission bus pilot project. Ten more electric buses are expected to arrive this year. This initiative is part of the Region of Waterloo’s plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80 per cent … [continued]
It’s always interesting to figure out why irrational things occur. In the case of London’s foolish hydrogen buses, apparently Wrightbus going into administration aka bankruptcy proceedings led to well-connected people like Wrightbus owner Jo Bamford’s father, Lord Bamford, the man who inherited British firm JCB and was also knighted for … [continued]
The Canadian firm Worksport is on track to send solar panels flying onto millions of pickup trucks, electric or not, in the form of tonneau covers.
It’s incredibly rare that any hydrogen for energy play pencils out compared to alternatives. There’s a village in the African country of Mali where geological hydrogen vents up through the ground and is burned to generate electricity for the 4,000 person village. And then there’s Prince George, British Columbia, which … [continued]
