Value That brings me to the final and perhaps most crucial element of Hyundai Motor Group’s success in the burgeoning EV market: pricing. Sure, there are cheaper EVs out there than what its brands offer. There are prettier ones, more luxurious ones, and ones with more range too. But no other EV lineup on the […]

Buildings everywhere need to get off fossil fuels in order to help the world avoid climate catastrophe. Yet owners of large commercial buildings in New York City are especially feeling the pressure: The groundbreaking Local Law 97 takes effect this year, requiring buildings of more than 25,000 square feet to meet specific emissions limits, which become

A total of 19 solar, wind and hybrid projects have been named as winners of Australia’s largest ever renewable energy tender, with NSW – as designed – to host the lion’s share to help its massive and urgent task of replacing the country’s biggest fleet of ageing coal generators. The other big winners of the

Texas project installed, manufacturing in the works When we first spoke in late 2022, Stratakos planned to build the Texas plant in 2023 and start shipping the remainder of its battery stockpile in 2024. The actual installation process turned out to be ​“a learning experience,” Stratakos told me last week, meaning it took longer and cost more

Most ferries in the United States run on diesel fuel, with groaning engines that spew harmful emissions into waterfront communities. But in San Francisco, passengers on the city’s newest vessel will find the trip to be much quieter and cleaner as they zip around the bay. On Friday, a hydrogen-powered ferry called Sea Change officially launched after

Despite the hype, most users concede that balcony solar provides modest cost and energy savings. Weyland spent around $530 for his 600-watt-capacity system. While he’s happy with how his south-facing panels perform during balmy weather, such days are rare in northern Germany. He estimates that he’ll save around $100 in annual electricity costs and recoup his

When faced with arguments for nuclear power in Australia, many in the energy industry scratch their heads and wonder where they are coming from – the fossil fuel lobby, political ideology and other vested interests are often cited as the reasons, along with a hatred of renewables. On close inspection, nuclear – at least in

I asked the authors why they think it’s important to track incomes and other demographic information for rooftop solar customers. “Distributed solar has for a long time benefited from public policy, from policies that, ultimately, everybody is paying for whether it’s through tax credits or through utility rates,” Barbose said. ​“Because the cost of these policies

Diesel-fueled trucks and buses account for an outsized share of carbon emissions and air pollution. Converting those fleets to battery-electric vehicles could go a long way toward decarbonizing the transportation sector. The upfront price of electric vehicles is one of the biggest barriers to overcome. Though electric buses and trucks cost less to fuel and maintain

You can’t make whisky — or vodka or gin or any other liquor — without generating some heat. The heat required to produce the billions of liters of liquor consumed each year typically comes from fossil fuels, and much of it ends up as wasted energy. But carbon emissions penalties in Europe and government incentives
