If enacted, California’s mandate would be the first to prohibit new gasoline or diesel cars in the next decade.
Electric vehicles (EVs) are due for huge upgrades in driving range and charging times as new battery technologies are introduced.
City skies could be buzzing with flying taxi services by 2025 following huge investment in short-haul flight technology. Aviation startups have received billions to get electric aircraft operating above urban centers. Investors are banking on quick, sustainable short hops to fuel a flight path revolution.
Car companies are investing heavily in electric vehicles (EVs) to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions from transport. But ramping up electric car manufacture means finding a solution to the problem of lithium battery life and slow charging times. Big firms are now pumping money into longer-lasting and safer solid-state batteries.
Car batteries made with recycled materials are outlasting their un-recycled counterparts– boosting auto manufacturers’ confidence in reusable parts.
Plans to tackle transport greenhouse gas emissions need ambitious targets to impact Earth’s rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2).
Car manufacturers are facing an unpredictable future as a global shortage of computer chips, semiconductors, and rare earth metals affects traditional and electric vehicles. Large automotive factories have been forced to cut production at a time when a transition to electric models is expected to help fight climate change.
Transport is one industry that needs to rapidly cut carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to tackle climate change.
There’s a longstanding debate on how to reduce emissions in the trucking industry. Germany is testing out a new system — eHighways, which feed electricity to trucks while they drive.
Transport is undergoing a massive transformation so it can meet society’s demands for a low-carbon economy. Introducing electric vehicles (EVs) and declining gasoline and diesel use are helping, but zero-carbon hydrogen can speed up both the transition and long-term decarbonization of transport.
Low emission battery-powered electric cars are still a tiny fraction of all cars sold despite offering cheaper running costs and eco-friendly credentials. The higher purchase price is one reason, but retrofitting older cars and trucks with electric motors could be the fix needed to turbocharge electric vehicle uptake.
Stuck in a gridlock, critics of deep-sea mining fear for its negative impact on the environment, yet one of the largest customers of deep-sea minerals is the clean-energy industry.
