WASHINGTON – U.S. trucking companies are buying more new, low emission, diesel technology than ever before. Research shows the number of new near-zero emission diesel trucks on the road increased 10.2% between 2021 and 2022 according to the Diesel Technology Forum (DTF). Near-zero emission trucks are advanced diesel technology manufactured in the 2010 and later
NEW YORK - Scientists at one of the country’s premier research labs have discovered a record-cheap way to capture carbon dioxide as it’s emitted from power plants and factories, including the likes of iron and steel manufacturing facilities. Globally, industrial processes are responsible for 31 percent of total greenhouse gas emissions and electricity generation accounts for
LIVONIA–Masco Corp. announced that it is setting an aspirational target to reduce its scope 1 and 2 absolute greenhouse gas emissions by 50 percent by the year 2030 compared to 2020 emissions. This goal aligns with the current standard of science-based targets deemed necessary to mitigate the worst effects of climate change. Masco home improvement
SYDNEY, Australia - Mankind are in a desperate race to halt our rampant carbon emissions and save the planet from our self-created catastrophe. Some of the most prominent technologies helping us achieve this venture are EVs and hydrogen fuel cells. But due to cost and a slow adoption speed, these technologies have yet to significantly
SHANGHAI, China - The world will need to shut down nearly 3,000 coal-fired power plants before 2030 if it is to have a chance of keeping temperature rises within 1.5 Celsius, according to research by climate think tank TransitionZero. In a report published days before the U.N. COP26 climate change summit in Glasgow, TransitionZero said there are
ANN ARBOR - A new combustion turbine at the University of Michigan's Central Power Plant is expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions significantly, lowering emission levels halfway toward the university's 2025 sustainability goal. The 15-megawatt combustion turbine, which will be housed in a 12,000-square-foot addition, is expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by an estimated
HOUGHTON - Michigan Technological University is one of 85 partners in a US Department of Energy-funded $70 million energy-saving project called the REMADE (Reducing Embodied-energy and Decreasing Emissions) Institute. The project’s goal is to drive down the cost of technologies needed to reuse, recycle and remanufacture materials such as metals, fibers, polymers and electronic waste.
