UK Government Aims for 2040 to Eliminate Fossil Fuels
UK Government releases the decarbonisation of transport plan with sights on banning fossil fuels by 2040, the days of combustion engines really are numbered
Article
Description
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced $52.5 million to fund 31 projects to advance next-generation clean hydrogen technologies and support DOE’s recently announced Hydrogen Energy Earthshot initiative to reduce the cost and accelerate breakthroughs in the clean hydrogen sector. Clean hydrogen is a form of renewable energy that—if made cheaper and easier to produce—can have a major role in supporting President Biden’s commitment to tackling the climate crisis.

A court in The Hague reached the milestone verdict in May this year after Friends of the Earth and over 17,000 co-plaintiffs successfully argued that Shell had been aware of the dangerous consequences of CO2 emissions for decades, and that its climate targets did not go far enough.
Clean Air Task Force (CATF) convened a high-level workshop with 25 researchers and thought leaders from various facets of the global transportation sector to assess options for decarbonization by 2050. This report synthesizes the findings from that workshop, and presents the consensus that pursuing various pathways simultaneously, including the advancement of both electrification and zero-carbon fuels like hydrogen and ammonia, is imperative to maximizing the probability of success, and that clean fuel standards can play a critical role in driving the carbon intensity of transportation energy down to zero.
