The aviation industry and climate change: what are contrails? A 2022 IPCC report found that direct GHG emissions from the transport sector accounted for 23% of global energy-related CO2 emissions in 2019. Road vehicles accounted for 70% of direct transport emissions, while 1%, 11%, and 12% of emissions came from rail, shipping, and aviation, respectively. As the mounting effects of climate change continue to be felt worldwide, the aviation industry is pioneering a method to reduce its contributions. Namely, it is focusing on efforts to curtail condensation trails – or contrails – which are fluffy, white cloud formations that sometimes appear as airplanes fly through the cold, humid, and icy parts of the atmosphere. Because they are a combination of soot, water vapor, and particulate matter (such as NOx), when aircrafts pass through these areas, they form cirrus clouds that absorb the radiation escaping from the surface, and, in turn, trap the heat. This phenomenon could account for around 35% of aviation's total contribution to climate change — that's about 1 to 2% of overall global warming! Together, these contrails roughly triple the total global warming impact of aviation compared to CO2 alone. Therefore, it is imperative that the aviation industry find solutions to reduce the production of contrails. What the industry has come up with: 3 solutions One method of reducing contrails consists of replacing traditional fuels with biofuels made from plant or animal biomass, waste, sugars and ethanol (corn). Sustainable jet fuels can produce 50%-70% fewer contrails according to research conducted by NASA and the German Aerospace Center (DLR). Jets using alternative fuels release fewer soot particles, thereby creating fewer ice crystal formations, which ultimately reduces contrail production by extension. Though biofuels may initially form larger crystals, they fall more quickly and melt in the warmer air below.The second method involves developing electric or hydrogen-powered commercial aircrafts. Hydrogen is an attractive alternative to traditional aircrafts because it can be burned without emitting CO2 and is widely available. These aircrafts would either burn liquid hydrogen directly into their engines, or use gaseous hydrogen in a fuel cell system. With fuel cells, the hydrogen creates an electrochemical reaction that produces electricity to charge the aircraft's batteries while in flight. A third method involves redirecting flights to avoid contrail-inducing zones. Between 2% and 10% of all flights create around 80% of the contrails, so researchers have started developing predictive models that would allow airlines to identify and avoid contrail regions similarly to how they plan to avoid turbulence. The cost is predicted to be $0.5/ ton of CO2 equivalent. Furthermore, only minor adjustments to the routes of a small fraction of airplane flights is required, making predictive models highly attractive and cost effective. Some ChallengesWhile biofuels have great potential, they come with their own set of challenges. First is the issue of land use and its effects on agriculture. Producing three billion gallons of sustainable aviation fuel would require between 8 and 11 million acres of corn or 35 and 50 million acres of soybeans, depending on crop yields. This could impact food production and cost. Shifting to corn or soybean based fuels has also been found to produce significant adverse emissions impacts. Lastly, it's unclear whether sustainable fuels can meet the world's growing demand for aerial transportation. While hydrogen is attractive, it has lower energy density than fossil fuels, meaning that a higher onboard fuel storage volume is needed to cover the same distance as current fossil fuel-powered aircrafts. In addition, H2-powered large passenger planes would require significant changes to aircraft design, making it less cost effective in the short term when RD&D costs are considered (development of fuel cell technology and liquid hydrogen tanks, aircraft research, hydrogen infrastructure, fleet output, etc). Industry experts anticipate that it will take 10 to 15 years to make these important advancements. Lastly, contrail prediction models rely on a variety of input data, including flight trajectories, aircraft and engine parameters, fuel characteristics, and weather data. However, the availability and accuracy of some of these data inputs is still a challenge, as no standardization exists. Who is our guest? Matteo Mirolo is Head of Policy and Strategy, Contrails at Breakthrough Energy, an organization founded by Bill Gates to spur innovation in clean energy and address climate change.

ROMA (ITALPRESS) - Entro la fine di questo decennio il riciclo potrebbe consentire all'Europa di ridurre fino a un quarto la sua dipendenza dalle importazioni di minerali per realizzare le batterie dei veicoli. Lo afferma uno studio di Transport & Environment, la principale organizzazione europea in materia di decarbonizzazione dei trasporti. I materiali provenienti dalle batterie a fine vita e dagli scarti delle gigafactory potrebbero essere sufficienti, nel 2030, per la produzione europea di 2,4 milioni di mezzi elettrici. Secondo Transport & Environment, però, c'è il rischio che l'Unione Europea e il Regno Unito non sfruttino appieno questo potenziale, perché i progetti industriali di riciclo rischiano di essere cancellati. Il riciclo delle celle esauste e degli scarti di produzione potrebbe fornire il 14% del litio, il 16% del nichel, il 17% del manganese e un quarto del cobalto di cui l'Europa avrà bisogno per produrre le sue auto elettriche nel 2030. Oltre tale data, queste percentuali potrebbero aumentare sensibilmente, e l'Europa avrebbe il potenziale per divenire quasi autosufficiente per il cobalto nel 2040. Il recupero dei materiali delle batterie ridurrà anche il fabbisogno di materie prime visto che i volumi ottenuti dal riciclo potrebbero evitare su scala globale la realizzazione di 12 nuove miniere: quattro di litio, tre di nichel, quattro di cobalto e una di manganese. Ciò ridurrebbe anche i potenziali impatti negativi sull'acqua, sul suolo e sulla biodiversità. Localizzare in Europa le attività di riciclo potrebbe ridurre di quasi un quinto l'impronta di carbonio del litio rispetto all'ipotesi di estrazione in Australia e raffinazione in Cina. Ma, secondo il rapporto, quasi la metà della capacità di riciclo europea pianificata è in stand by o rischia di non essere sviluppata.gtr/gsl

De centrale belofte van de Green Deal: in 2050 is Europa klimaatneutraal. Daarvoor zijn gigantische hoeveelheden zonnepanelen en windmolens nodig, moet de zware industrie overschakelen op waterstof en dient de CO2-uitstoot van schepen, vliegtuigen, vrachtwagens en auto's drastisch te dalen. Te gast is William Todts, directeur van Transport & Environment, een ngo die zich inzet om Europese beleidsmakers, politici en wetgevers ervan te overtuigen wetten aan te nemen die de transportindustrie verplichten te vergroenen. Daarvoor sluit hij coalities met andere partijen, ook met bedrijven als Tesla, Ikea en Coca-Cola. Dat is nodig, stelt Todts, om voldoende steun voor de voorstellen te krijgen. Hoe goed dat lukt, hangt grotendeels af van de samenstelling van de Europese Commissie – en die wisselt elke vijf jaar. Want, zo stelt onderzoeksjournalist Jesse Pinster van Bureau Brussel, klimaat is ook een politieke speelbal. Politici als Frans Timmermans en Ursula von der Leyen, op zoek naar stemmen en naar steun binnen het Europees Parlement, maakten in 2019 van klimaat een speerpunt in hun respectievelijke campagnes. Over deze podcast:Europeanen kunnen in juni voor een nieuw Europees Parlement stemmen. In de aanloop naar deze verkiezingen nemen we in De Beloftes van Europa, een nieuwe podcast-serie van Follow the Money, wekelijks een belangrijke belofte van de Europese Unie onder de loep. Denk aan de Green Deal, een sociaal Europa, nooit meer oorlog en een sterke democratische rechtsstaat. Wat is er de afgelopen jaren – en decennia – in Brussel van deze beloftes terechtgekomen? En wat moet er gebeuren om beloftes die nog niet ingelost zijn, alsnog waar te maken?Annette van Soest gaat in gesprek met Brusselse insiders, van Europarlementariërs tot lobbyisten, en met collega's van Bureau Brussel, de achtkoppige FTM-redactie die vanuit het hart van Europa de macht controleert.
El objetivo es que el sector aeronáutico emita cero CO2 para el 2050. A nivel tecnológico se pueden ya fabricar aviones limpios que funcionan con hidrógeno o electricidad para sustituir a la flota existente. También las aeronaves convencionales pueden sustituir el keroseno por los SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel), combustibles sostenibles. RFI estuvo en el salón aeronáutico y espacial de la ciudad de Le Bourget, en las afueras de París, para ver cómo se prepara la industria para esta transición. La industria aeronáutica y espacial mundial se acaba de reunir en el gran salón de Le Bourget que se ha vuelto a celebrar en París tras una pausa por los años Covid. Este año marcado por la necesidad de acelerar la transición ecológica para luchar contra el cambio climático. Y es que al sector se le imputa el 3% de las emisiones de CO2. La idea es encontrar la fórmula entre rentabilidad y descarbonización. Seguir creciendo, pero sin contaminar, una cuadratura del círculo que algunos anuncian casi imposible. El sector se recupera con contratos millonariosEl SIAE (Salon International de l'Aéronautique et de l'Espace) es una cita ineludible para los actores de la industria aeroespacial de todo el mundo. Aquí se cierran contratos multimillonarios tanto en la rama civil como militar, los principales rivales, Boeing y Airbus, muestran sus músculos y las empresas presentan las últimas novedades. Los curiosos y amantes de los aviones pueden también asistir a las acrobacias y las demostraciones de vuelos que ensordecen a los 320.000 visitantes repartidos en los 125.000 m2, unas 18 canchas de fútbol, durante una semana. Las empresas vienen de todo el mundo, incluida Latinoamérica con una importante delegación mexicana, 200 personas, empresas, ocho estados e instituciones. México es la industria aeroespacial más importante de la región, después de Brasil con un crecimiento anual del 20%, emplea a cerca de 60.000 personas con fábricas de suministros para empresas internacionales. Además, en el primer trimestre del año, México se convirtió en el mayor mercado de pasajeros aéreos de Latinoamérica, con 29 millones, superando por primera vez en la historia a Brasil, que había mantenido la mayor cuota de mercado en la región.“El sector exporta alrededor de 9.000 millones de dólares, México trabaja todos los sistemas de un avión. La biónica, los interiores, estructuras, propulsión o trenes de aterrizaje”, explica Luis Lizcano, presidente ejecutivo de la Federación mexicana de la Industria Aeroespacial, conocida como FEMIA. Con una mano de obra más barata que en Estados Unidos o Europa, una media de edad de 27 años de la población activa, así como a la inversión en la formación de ingenieros, México se ha convertido en un polo muy atractivo para las empresas internacionales. Entre los estados que concentra una buena parte de la industria está Querétaro, al norte de la Ciudad de México. Justamente en esta edición de Le Bourget se anunciaron nuevas inversiones por parte de la francesa Safran por 80 millones de dólares en el sector del mantenimiento y la reparación con 500 empleos más y una nueva plataforma de pruebas de motores. Quéretaro, polo de investigación para aviones sustentablesQuerétaro tiene además la Universidad que ofrece cuatro ingenierías, capacitación e investigación en innovación justamente para desarrollar aeronaves que funcionen con energía limpia. “Trabajamos en innovación con General Electrics con un laboratorio en nuestro campus de tecnología de aviones sustentables y estamos construyendo el segundo para testear el uso de combustibles sustentables”, nos dice Enrique Sosa es el rector de la Universidad Aeronáutica de Querétaro. Una alianza estratégica con General Electrics que emplea a 1.800 ingenieros en la zona. Justamente también está en el salón de Le Bourget, Verónica Méndez, presidenta del Aerocluster de Querétaro, asociación que reúne a 45 empresas, y también trabaja con General Electrics Aerospace, el principal suministrador mundial de reactores. Ella se muestra bastante optimista con los avances que están llevando a cabo en cuanto a los componentes eléctricos y también los SAF. “Es un positivismo fundamentado porque hemos logrado las compañías, GE ya tiene vuelos 100% con SAF de prueba”, afirma Méndez. Los profesionales coinciden en que la transición no tiene marcha atrás. “Es una necesidad y la normatividad forzará a las empresas, quien no haga el cambio tecnológico que requiere en la próxima década quedará fuera del mercado“, dice Enrique Sosa. Pero ¿será suficiente? Se acabó la época de los vuelos baratosEfectivamente, muchas empresas están invirtiendo ya en aparatos eléctricos o de hidrógeno, como el taxi volador Volocopter que está previsto que esté oficialmente en servicio para los Juegos Olímpicos de París en 2024. Los prototipos que se presentan pretenden revolucionar la movilidad aérea con un salto tecnológico hacia aviones eléctricos y de hidrógeno. La empresa de Barcelona Dovetail Electric Aviation también presentes en el salón, se ha especializado en la transformación de los aviones convencionales que usan queroseno en aviones limpios, remplazando los motores de combustible por unos eléctricos, baterías o hidrógeno, para hacer el producto más sostenible. Se trata de vuelos de corta distancia, regionales de hasta 500 kilómetros y ya tiene clientes en España y Australia. “Es más fácil desarrollar la tecnología y certificarla para un sistema pequeño que para uno grande. Lo que cuenta sobre todo es cuánto puedes volar y por eso los aviones pequeños se suelen usar en muchos mercados para distancias cortas. Si queremos volar miles de kilómetros, da igual si el avión es grande o pequeño, con hidrógeno o baterías eso no va a ocurrir en décadas, pero si quieres volar de 100 a 400 km, esto está a nuestro alcance en los próximos años. Además, volar será más caro porque los combustibles sostenibles van a ser más caros que el convencional”, explica David Doral cofundador de Dovetail Electric Aviation.A día de hoy, el 1% de los viajeros mundiales genera el 50% de las emisiones de CO2 del sector de la aviación. Se trata de los viajeros frecuentes por negocios o por placer. ¿Volar se convertirá todavía más en un lujo? ¿Sólo las personas ricas podrán hacerlo? “Mientras un conductor de automóvil paga unos 50 céntimos por litro de carburante, las aerolíneas pagan cero céntimos. Esto quiere decir que estamos subvencionando de manera indirecta un medio de transporte que es muy contaminante. Volar va a ser más caro, pero lo que tenemos que hacer es que las opciones limpias sean más competitivas que las contaminantes”, analiza Carlos López de la Osa, manager de aviación en Transport & Environment que promueve la movilidad de emisiones cero y para todos. Cómo luchar contra la contaminación si el sector no para de crecer Otro de los problemas que se plantean para la transición en el sector es el crecimiento y es lo que denuncian las ONG. Es imposible luchar contra el cambio climático, dicen, si el sector no para de crecer. Es por ello que, coincidiendo con el Salón, las organizaciones ecologistas lanzaron una petición con el eslogan: “Quédense en tierra”. Para el experto López de la Osa, efectivamente si el sector sigue expandiéndose, el problema se va a agravar. “Las tecnologías no serán suficientes si la industria sigue creciendo al ritmo que lo está haciendo ahora mismo. Es una cuestión de matemáticas. Si quieres resolver un problema, lo primero que hay que hacer es no empeorarlo”, afirma. La tendencia, sin embargo, no es a limitar el tráfico aéreo mundial, es más, según las previsiones, en los próximos 25 años éste se va a duplicar. Es entonces un reto de alto vuelo en términos climáticos tanto para la tecnología como para los gobiernos.

The EU has set ambitious goals to decarbonize, especially in transportation, accelerated by the geopolitical necessity to reduce reliance on hydrocarbons. However, the minerals and even technological know-how for the electron economy especially, sits largely outside the region. The also face stiff competition for both, especially from the US - supercharged by the IRA. How is Europe planning to compete? What are its proposed policies and goals? What is the Critical Raw Materials Act? What is the role of the commodity traders - all largely domiciled in the region. Our guest is JuliaPoliscanova, Director at the Transport & Environment think tank in Brussels and atransport, batteryand policy expert.
The Department of Transport has today confirmed that the National Transport Authority (NTA) has allocated funds to Ireland's local authorities with a view to spending €290 million on walking and cycling infrastructure in 2023. Eamon Ryan, Green Party leader and Minister for Transport Environment, Climate and Communications joined Kieran to discuss this and the ongoing controversy about the Government's role in awarding compensation to those who were overcharged for nursing homes...
Le associazioni ambientaliste europee associate al network di “Transport&Environment” hanno esortato i governi del G7 a dare la priorità al cibo rispetto al carburante e a porre fine immediatamente all'uso dei biocarburanti in competizione con le produzioni alimentari. A renderlo noto è un comunicato di Legambiente, nel quale si ricorda come “anche in Italia usiamo circa un milione di tonnellate di olio di palma: delle quali metà viene miscelata nel gasolio dei motori diesel e l'altra metà viene utilizzata per produrre elettricità verde”. In entrambi i casi – spiega Legambiente - si tratta di autentico "greenwashing", come del resto ha confermato la causa vinta dalla stessa Legambiente, contro il “biodiesel” di Eni del gennaio 2019. Cereali e semi oleosi costituiscono, infatti, alimenti per il miliardo di esseri umani più poveri e non devono, quindi, diventare una fonte energetica “per lavare – scrive sempre l'Organizzazione ecologista - la coscienza dei governi statunitensi ed europei”. L'Italia e l'Europa debbono, pertanto, togliere subito gli incentivi ai biocarburanti, poichè si tratta di falsi rinnovabili. Di fronte ad una crisi alimentare globale, l'appello inviato al G7 afferma che non ci si può permettere di bruciare cereali e oli vegetali nei serbatoi delle nostre auto. Ed il Governo italiano - che ha spesso manifestato la preoccupazione di una crisi alimentare - dovrebbe unirsi a Regno Unito e Germania che hanno annunciato l'intenzione di limitare i biocarburanti da coltura. “In questi tempi di guerra – conclude Legambiente - i biocarburanti vengono, infatti, spesso presentati come un'alternativa al petrolio, ma la realtà è che arrivano a costare quasi il doppio dei combustibili fossili”.
Gli Stati Uniti hanno vietato l'import di energia dalla Russia e il Regno Unito si prepara a rendersi indipendente entro fine anno: da oggi anche l'Europa deve mettere in discussione tutte le proprie politiche energetiche.Joe Biden, senza aspettare l'Europa, ha firmato un ordine esecutivo che vieta tutto l'import di petrolio, gas e carbone dalla Russia. Nonostante la dipendenza dall'energia russa per gli Stati Uniti sia molto inferiore rispetto a quella europea, Biden ha ammesso che la decisione non sarà senza costi neanche per l'economia statunitense; commentando in questo senso la necessità di diventare indipendenti a livello energetico, accelerando una transizione all'energia pulita. Al momento la maggioranza dei cittadini statunitensi si è detta favorevole alla misura. Tuttavia, il costo della benzina rappresentava da sempre un problema politico per Biden e la situazione potrebbe quindi cambiare nelle prossime settimane, con l'aumento dei prezzi. Il Regno Unito, intanto, ha dichiarato un progetto altrettanto impegnativo: quello di volersi rendere indipendente dal petrolio russo e dai suoi derivati entro la fine del 2022, e sta considerando anche la messa a bando del gas. Da questo punto di vista il Regno Unito è già largamente indipendente rispetto agli altri paesi europei.La situazione Europea è invece più complessa. La Commissione europea ha pubblicato i punti principali del piano per arrivare all'indipendenza dall'energia russa entro il 2030. Vengono indicati progetti per aumentare l'energia proveniente da fonti rinnovabili, e promessi interventi con “azioni urgenti sui prezzi.” Oggi e domani a Versailles si terranno degli incontri per discutere la questione energetica.Euractiv ha visto una bozza del documento conclusivo in cui l'Unione rinnoverà l'impegno a raggiungere la neutralità climatica entro il 2050 ma, soprattutto, ad eliminare gradualmente la propria dipendenza da gas, petrolio e carbone russi. Il documento indica cinque soluzioni: diversificare l'import comprando da Stati Uniti e Qatar, accelerare lo sviluppo di energie rinnovabili, e vengono citate le necessità di aumentare l'interconnessione tra le reti elettriche e del gas dei singoli stati membri, rafforzare i “piani d'emergenza” energetici dell'Ue, e “migliorare l'efficienza energetica” del blocco. Comprare energia da Qatar e Stati Uniti potrebbe tuttavia rischiare di alzare i prezzi per tutti, dal momento in cui l'Europa si troverebbe a competere con altre grandi potenze consumatrici come la Cina, la Corea del Sud e il Giappone.Un nuovo report del think tank Transport & Environment mostra l'impatto che potrebbero avere le sanzioni sul petrolio: secondo le stime i paesi europei pagano in media 261 milioni di euro al giorno per il petrolio russo. Il direttore del think tank, William Todts, afferma che “il gas è una preoccupazione, ma è il petrolio che finanzia la guerra di Putin.” Il ministro della Transizione Ecologica Roberto Cingolani ha affermato ad Agorà Extra su Rai3 che in 24-30 mesi dovremmo essere indipendenti dal gas russo. Durante la trasmissione ha posto l'accento sulla necessità di implementare velocemente le energie rinnovabili e sulla capacità di rigassificare, cambiando anche fornitori per una parte delle fonti energetiche che ora provengono dalla Russia.Sostieni the Submarine, abbonati
durée : 00:04:21 - Camille passe au vert - par : Camille Crosnier - On croise poids-lourds ou bus arborant fièrement qu'ils roulent au gaz naturel. Mais le gaz est une énergie fossile au même titre que le pétrole et le charbon. Et la fédération Transport & Environment alerte aujourd'hui sur les conséquences du gaz naturel pour la pollution de l'air en particulier
In una lettera inviata al Governo italiano, le organizzazioni Cittadini per l'Aria, Kyoto Club, Legambiente, Transport & Environment e Wwf ricordano che “la Commissione Europea si appresta ad affrontare una decisione storica per il futuro del clima e del pianeta”. Infatti, Il 14 luglio, la Commissione presenterà la proposta sulla revisione dei target delle principali Direttive europee, per adeguarle alla nuova ed accresciuta ambizione climatica del Green Deal Europeo. Da quello che è trapelato, l'Esecutivo UE si prepara a fissare il 2035 come data di fine vendita dei veicoli a combustione interna, cosa che costituirebbe un passo fondamentale verso la decarbonizzazione dei trasporti. Pertanto, secondo il documento inviato al nostro governo, “ la posizione che l'Italia prenderà sulla questione avrà un peso rilevante nelle scelte Europee”. Di recente, il Ministro Giovannini ha proposto il 2040 come data per la cessazione della vendita di auto endotermiche: una scadenza che, purtroppo, sempre secondo le Associazioni ambientaliste, rischia di mettere a repentaglio l'intera ambizione climatica europea, mentre altri Stati come i Paesi Bassi, la Svezia, l'Inghilterra o la Germania hanno deciso di raggiungere questo obiettivo addirittura 10 anni prima, nel 2030. Nella lettera viene ribadito che il settore dei trasporti è il più serio problema emissivo dell'Europa. Non solo perché è responsabile di quasi un quarto delle emissioni di gas a effetto serra dell'Unione, ma soprattutto perché queste sono sempre cresciute negli ultimi 30 anni. Dato questo che è particolarmente vero per l'Italia che presenta uno dei più alti tassi di motorizzazione d'Europa (655 auto ogni 1.000 abitanti) . Non stupisce, quindi, il fatto che, nel nostro Paese, circa l'80% delle 108 milioni di tonnellate di CO2 provengano dal trasporto stradale e in particolar modo dalle auto, che rappresentano circa le metà delle emissioni dell'intero settore dei trasporti. In questa prospettiva, va ricordato che la Commissione Europea ha già avviato tre procedure di infrazione contro l'Italia proprio per la qualità dell'aria nelle città del bacino padano che sembra causare 80.000 morti premature all'anno. Decarbonizzare i trasporti, a partire da quelli su strada, rappresenta, dunque, una delle più grandi sfide del nostro secolo. Per gli ambientalisti “ gli ultimissimi dati dell'Agenzia Europea dell'Ambiente forniscono un segnale incoraggiante. Infatti, nel 2020, le nuove immatricolazioni di auto hanno mostrato una riduzione delle emissioni medie di CO2 del 12%, presumibilmente grazie ad una quota crescente di auto elettriche ed ibride. Questo è il risultato dell'entrata in vigore degli standard di CO2 per auto e furgoni che hanno spinto le case automobilistiche a lanciare sul mercato sempre più modelli a zero o basse emissioni, raggiungendo il 10% del nuovo immatricolato a livello Europeo. La necessità di offrire mezzi sempre più puliti ha dunque spinto i costruttori a investire in modo massiccio sulla mobilità elettrica”. Gli autori del documento si dicono consapevoli che questa rapida transizione solleva grandi questioni sociali, legate soprattutto all'evoluzione delle attività industriali e alla capacità di mantenere l'occupazione e queste tematiche sono al centro delle loro preoccupazioni. Se la sfida climatica impone un ritmo di trasformazione senza precedenti, garantire il futuro occupazionale del settore auto diviene, quindi, responsabilità collettiva della Commissione Europea, del Governo, delle autorità locali e degli altri protagonisti del comparto. La scelta di rallentare la transizione energetica nell'industria non salverà i posti di lavoro. Anzi, rischia di avere l'effetto opposto, accelerando il declino della produzione, in un momento in cui tutti gli attori internazionali stanno, invece, puntando proprio sull'elettrificazione in un contesto di maggiore concorrenza. Al contrario, la risposta appropriata è quella di dare un chiaro segnale sulla data di fine vendita, in modo tale da poter pianificare al meglio la transizione, anticipando i bisogni di riconversione dell'industria e della forza lavoro e sostenendo fin d'ora i settori occupazionali più colpiti.

It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to. Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they’ve built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too. Welcome to two new Patreon supporters. A new PRODUCER TYLER VOSS and a new EXECUTIVE PRODUCER NATHANIEL FREEDMAN. VOLKSWAGEN CLAIMS TO HAVE SOLVED ID.3 SOFTWARE ISSUES "Volkswagen has overcome the software issues it once faced with the ID.3’s MEB platform, which delayed the launch of the all-electric hatchback. Owners who took delivery of the ID.3’s first builds had to return their vehicles to their dealer for software updates once the issues were fixed." says Teslarati: "VW says that its engineers have fixed the glitches that were present in the first builds of the ID.3, which came from the company’s Zwickau factory that was converted to build EVs based on the MEB architecture. In an interview with Automotive News Europe, the company stated that it will now aim to update the first builds of the ID.3, which Volkswagen has labeled the “First Movers Club,” by the end of the year. It will require the car to be surrendered for at least one night and will be a lengthy process to complete." https://www.teslarati.com/volkswagen-meb-software-issues-fixed/ OPTIMAL-EV TO DELIVER 200 E1 CHASSIS BASED ON FORD’S E450 CUTAWAY "Optimal Electric Vehicles (Optimal-EV) announced a significant initial order for 200 battery-electric E1 chassis that will be used by Olathe Ford, one of the nation’s largest Ford Commercial Vehicle Centers." according to InsideEVs: "The E1 is based on Ford’s E450 cutaway chassis platform, which means that it could be easily adapted to a variety of vehicles, including school buses, commercial trucks and buses, ambulance, recreational vehicles, and fleet trucks. The gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) is 14,500 pounds (6,577 kg). Optimal-EV is equipping the E1 with Proterra's 113 kWh battery system, which should provide more than 125 miles (200 km) of range on a single charge. The optional DC charging option allows it to recharge in around two hours." I just had a look at the Ford US website and the E-Series cutaway would normally come with...7.3L V8. https://insideevs.com/news/459330/optimalev-200-e1-chassis-ford-e450-cutaway/ LORDSTOWN THRASHES THE SKATEBOARD FOR ITS ENDURANCE "Skateboard platforms are becoming a common go-to for startup electric vehicle makers, as they’re essentially self-contained—packaging most of the core mechanical and propulsion components together in a “rolling chassis.” That building block, with a little modification, can be tested on its own—which is what Lordstown Motors recently did for the basis of its upcoming Endurance electric pickup, near its Ohio headquarters, with CEO Steve Burns behind the wheel." says Green Car Reports: "In a series of extreme environments, the video released by Lordstown (below) shows the Endurance platform being pushed through a proving-grounds torture test that presses the suspension and hub motors by shaking them around, submerging them in water, and churning through some snow and mud. Otherwise the platform will have a battery filled with 2170-format cylindrical batteries—the same size Tesla is using for the Model 3 and Model Y. " https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1130616_lordstown-thrashes-the-skateboard-for-its-endurance-electric-truck-in-wheel-motors-and-all TESLA (TSLA) COMPLETES $5BN STOCK SALE IN ONE DAY " After disclosing its intention to raise $5 billion cash through a common stock offering on Tuesday, Tesla has announced it has completed the sale in just 24 hours. With just a few weeks left to go in the year, the large cash infusion gives Tesla a very healthy bank statement with approximately $20 billion cash on hand" says Drive TEsla Canada: "What exactly will CEO Elon Musk do with all that cash? It is no secret the automaker has major expansion plans, with two Gigafactories under construction in Berlin, Germany and Austin, Texas." https://driveteslacanada.ca/news/tesla-tsla-completes-5bn-stock-sale-in-one-day-now-has-20bn-cash-on-hand/ EU MINISTERS GREENLIGHT 50% TOLL DISCOUNT FOR EMISSIONS-FREE TRUCKS "Hauliers driving emissions-free trucks will get at least half off road tolls in the European Union (EU) under a new tolling system given the go-ahead by transport ministers.Fossil-fuel trucks will be charged based on their CO2 emissions, with more efficient heavy-goods vehicles paying less. According to green campaign group Transport & Environment, if agreed by the EU parliament, the new Eurovignette law will speed up the transition to zero-emissions freight and help alleviate air pollution in cities." according to CittiMagazine.co.uk: "EU transport ministers said zero-emission trucks, which are electrified or run on hydrogen, would get at least a 50% discount on charges by April 2023. EU member states can give discounts of up to 100% for zero-emissions lorries, as is currently the case in Germany, until the end of 2025. After 2025, countries can offer discounts of between 50% and 75%, as is currently the case in Austria." https://www.cittimagazine.co.uk/news/emissions-sustainability/eu-ministers-greenlight-50-toll-discount-for-emissions-free-trucks.html FRANCE INTRODUCES USED EV SUBSIDIES "In France, the government subsidy of 1,000 euros specifically for the purchase of used purely electric cars announced in October has now come into force. In addition, the government has extended the environmental bonus and the conversion premium in their current amounts until June 2021." writes electrive: "First, regarding the new subsidy for used electric cars: the subsidy is granted for the purchase or lease of passenger cars or light commercial vehicles that are at least two years old and have CO2 emissions of no more than 20 grams CO2/km – in other words, de facto only for pure battery and hydrogen vehicles. The support of a lump sum of 1,000 euros can be combined with the “prime à la conversion,” which subsidizes the purchase of a new or used electric car or plug-in hybrid with up to 5,000 euros when the old combustion engine is decommissioned." https://www.electrive.com/2020/12/11/france-introduces-used-ev-subsidies/ VAUXHALL OFFERS NEW CORSA-E BUYERS A FREE HOME CHARGER AND 30,000 FREE GREEN MILES Vauxhall is offering new Corsa-e customers a free Home Charging Unit and 30,000 miles of free electricity for a limited time only, in partnership with British Gas. The offer gives access to an exclusive British Gas Dual Fuel Tariff, with Vauxhall crediting each customer’s account to cover the cost of charging for the equivalent of 30,000 miles over a three-year period. Powered by a 50kWh lithium-ion battery, the Corsa-e comes with a zero-emissions range of up to 209 miles from a single charge and supports up to 100kW rapid charging technology – allowing for an 80 per cent charge in as little as 30 minutes. TESLA OFFERS ONE YEAR OF FREE SUPERCHARGING "Electrek has learned that Tesla is now offering one year of free Supercharging to incentivize deliveries by the end of the year as it attempts another record quarter. Yesterday, we reported on Elon Musk writing in an email to employees that Tesla is seeing strong demand, but the automaker needs to increase production fast in order to deliver on expectations." writes Electrek today:" The automaker needs to deliver more than 181,000 vehicles this quarter in order to achieve this goal. That’s more than 40,000 vehicles over its last quarterly delivery record. Now we learn that despite Tesla apparently seeing strong demand, the automaker added a new incentive for buyers. Electrek has learned that Tesla authorized today its sale staff in North America to give one year of free unlimited Supercharging for undelivered Model 3 and Model Y vehicles." https://electrek.co/2020/12/12/tesla-offers-one-year-free-supercharging-to-incentivize-deliveries-record-quarter-attempt/ You can listen to all 947 previous episodes of this this for free, where you get your podcasts from, plus the blog https://www.evnewsdaily.com/ – remember to subscribe, which means you don’t have to think about downloading the show each day, plus you get it first and free and automatically.

Show #754 Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Monday 20th April 2020. It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to. T&E FINDS BEV ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER THAN ICES "In Europe, an electric car is responsible for almost three times less CO2 over its life cycle than a comparable petrol or diesel car, Transport & Environment has determined and published a corresponding calculation tool." reports electrive: "Even in the worst case scenario, an electric car in Poland with a battery made in China emits 22 per cent less CO2 than a comparable diesel car and 28 per cent less than a gasoline car, according to T&E. The best case, according to T&E, would be an electric car with a battery made in Sweden, if the electric car was also driven in Sweden (i.e. charged with the electricity mix there). In this case, 80 per cent less CO2 was emitted compared to diesel and 81 per cent less compared to petrol. The CO2 emissions of the e-vehicles include the emissions from production. According to Transport & Environment, they used IPCC data for this purpose. Here, the emissions from the entire supply chain are to be included, right up to the operation of the mines – i.e. far beyond pure cell production." https://www.electrive.com/2020/04/20/te-finds-bev-environmental-footprint-significantly-lower-than-ices/ TESLA MODEL S PERFORMANCE NOW HITS 60 MPH IN JUST 2.3 SECONDS "Tesla says the Model S Performance hits 60 MPH in a time of just 2.3 seconds. That's just a slight improvement over the previously listed time of 2.4 seconds, but it brings with it new bragging rights for Tesla since the official figure now puts the Model S into a league of cars that numbers just a few." says InsideEVs: "If Tesla manages to find a way to bring the 0-60 MPH time down just another tenth of a second, the Model S Performance will stand alone as the only car in the world capable of hitting 60 MPH in 2.2 seconds and to think that some believe electric cars are slow. They're not." https://insideevs.com/news/410853/tesla-model-s-0-60-upgrade/ TESLA CYBERTRUCK WILL HAVE 500-MILE RANGE AND “FLOAT FOR A WHILE” "Elon Musk has been leaking further details on the divisive Tesla Cybertruck, a sci-fi-inspired all-electric pick-up, via Twitter this week." reports leasing.com: "Musk confirmed the vehicle will have a heat pump, like the upcoming Model Y, an all-new air suspension and also claimed it will be able to temporarily float. That’s right, when he was asked about its wading depth, he said it will even “float for a while”. Quite what that means, I'm sure we’ll find out in due course." https://leasing.com/car-leasing-news/tesla-cybertruck/ VOLVO CARS REOPENS SWEDISH FACTORIES & OFFICES "After all of its facilities have been cleaned extensively, Volvo Cars has announced that it has reopened its manufacturing plants and company offices in Torslanda, Sweden, following a coronavirus-related shutdown over the last few weeks." writes CleanTechnica: "“the layout in all meeting rooms, office spaces and restaurants has been adjusted where necessary to allow for social distancing,” the press release from Volvo reads. “For example, by ensuring that desks are placed appropriately and limiting the number of people allowed in meeting rooms and restaurants.”" https://cleantechnica.com/2020/04/20/volvo-cars-reopens-swedish-factories-offices/ TESLA POWERWALL UPDATE MAKES IT SMARTER DURING A POWER OUTAGE "Tesla's Powerwall backup battery system for home use just got smarter. In an update released Friday, the Powerwall can now work with Tesla charging stations at home to prioritize energy needs during a power outage." says CNET: "Before the update, in the event of a blackout, the Powerwall kicked in to supply power to the home and continue to serve juice to a Tesla charger if the car was plugged in. Now, the Powerwall will communicate with the Tesla charger and the two will work together to share energy. If the Powerwall doesn't have enough energy stored to power the home's essential needs, such as air conditioning, it will automatically stop charging the car. Even if the home begins to show an uptick in energy needs, the Powerwall will slow the amount of juice headed to a Tesla before cutting it off entirely." 13.5 kWh in a Powerwall. https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/tesla-powerwall-update-ev-charging-power-outage/ NEW VW TIGUAN INCOMING WITH R AND PHEV VERSIONS "VW is gearing up to reveal a heavily-updated Tiguan SUV in the second half of 2020, with this first teaser image showing the refreshed design." says CAR Magazine: "VW says the Tiguan is now it's best-selling car, not just for the brand but the entire VW Group. More than 900,000 were built in 2019 alone. A new PHEV will arrive alongside the Tiguan’s facelift as part of that rollout, utilising the MQB platform’s innate ability to house an electrified variant. The Tiguan plug-in will use a 1.4-litre TSI petrol engine and a 13kWh battery pack, with VW targeting between 31 and 43 miles of zero-emission electric range. While speaking at a digital presentation over VW’s PHEV plans, Dr. Kai Philipp – the brand’s project manager for electrified powertrains – told us that that target applied to all of VW’s upcoming new PHEVs: ‘surveys with Volkswagen customers have shown that a total electric range from 50 to 70 km (31-43 miles) fits the need of our customers.’" VW will call the Golf PHEV an eHybrid and there's an Arteon too. https://www.carmagazine.co.uk/car-news/first-official-pictures/volkswagen/tiguan/ CAN THE MINI COOPER SE ROAD TRIP? WE DRIVE IT 1,111 MILES TO FIND OUT "Some may say that taking the 2020 MINI Cooper SE, the shortest-range BEV available in the US today, on a New Jersey to North Carolina round trip isn't really the best idea. However, we decided to do it for a couple of reasons." writes Tom Moloughney for InsideEVs: "I was pleasantly surprised at the MINI Cooper SE's driving range at highway speeds. About 50 miles in I realized that I could probably space the stops at 90 to 100 miles apart without fear of running short of range, and that's with the heat on and me driving 70 mph to 80 mph in 35 to 40-degree temperatures when I started out. The vehicle quickly rises to the 50 kW charging limit and holds the full rate until the car is 75% charged before beginning to ramp down. When the car reaches 90% state of charge, it's still accepting 18-19 kW, and that's not bad at all." 50kW charge speed though. Tom also got to see inside en Electrify America charger, see the article! https://insideevs.com/reviews/410446/video-mini-cooper-se-1111-mile-trip/ THE WEALTHIEST PEOPLE PREFER TO BUY ELECTRIC CARS "High-income households bought three out of four newly registered electric cars in Norway last year. Those who earn the most prefer electric cars over fossil fuel cars." reports Norway Today: "The more you earn, the more likely you are to choose an electric car rather than fossil-fueled cars. Households with the highest income last year bought 37 per cent of all newly registered electric cars and 21 per cent of all newly registered fossil-fueled cars." https://norwaytoday.info/finance/the-wealthiest-people-prefer-to-buy-electric-cars/ QUESTION OF THE WEEK Do you prefer to buy new or used EV?

From the authors of David Olvera, FP-C and Daniel Davis M.D. The abstract introduction: Rapid sequence intubation (RSI) is associated with a number of complications that can increase morbidity and mortality. Among RSI agents used to blunt awareness of the procedure and produce amnesia, ketamine is unique in its classification as a dissociative agent rather than a CNS depressant. Thus, ketamine should have a lower risk of peri-RSI hypotension due to the minimal sympatholysis as compared to other agents. The main goal of this analysis was to explore the incidence of hypotension and/or cardiopulmonary arrest in patients receiving ketamine versus other agents during RSI. We hypothesized that ketamine would be associated with a lower risk of hemodynamic complications, particularly after adjusting for co-variables reflecting patient acuity. In addition, we anticipated that an increased prevalence of ketamine use would be associated with a decreasing incidence of peri-RSI hypotension and/or arrest. We couldn't make this podcast without.

Well good morning, good afternoon and good evening, wherever you are in the world, hello and welcome to the Thursday 21st June edition of EV News Daily. It’s Martyn Lee here with the news you need to know about electric cars and the move towards sustainable transport. SECURITY AT GIGA BEEFED UP A Tesla spokesperson said: ""Yesterday afternoon, we received a phone call from a friend of Mr. Tripp telling us that Mr. Tripp would be coming to the Gigafactory to 'shoot the place up.' Police have been notified and actions are being taken to enhance security at the Gigafactory." FIA CHIEF: BUY ELECTRIC Jean Todt, head of Motorsports FIA, which governs Formula E as well as things like Formula 1: "We are trying to make electric cars more user friendly in order to encourage more people to buy electric cars, especially in cities. You know, one problem that we have with electric cars at the moment is limited autonomy. Recharging times is another as it takes quite long. On top of that, each recharge is only good for a relatively short distance. That is why we strive to give a fresh perception or feeling to consumers. When you think about mobility, climate change, and the environment, the electric car is obviously better suited. We also need to address pollution. The electric car is a way to reduce pollution in cities. Another aspect that is not directly linked with what we do now but also high on our list of priorities is traffic congestion because citizens living in cities really feel the traffic and congestion everyday. In a way, they get used to that but it is time consuming, it is expensive, and again it causes pollution." VOLVO XC40 TO BE FIRM'S FIRST FULLY ELECTRIC VEHICLE The Volvo XC40 will be the first battery electric car from Volvo and will arrive in 2019 after the Polestar 2. It will be followed by an electric XC90. Thomas Ingeleth has been quoted by Autocar at the launch of the S60: "“It’s not a secret any more that the first full electric Volvo is on its way with the XC40 coming. It will arrive very soon after the Polestar 2. That is the first to come that’s not exotic. We’ll start with XC40 and then on it will come step after step into our model range. The next car will be the next-generation XC90. That will be the masterplan of how electrification will come to the Volvo product range. We will not establish products beside our hybrids, we will introduce electrification as a powertrain variant within the existing portfolio. You could say that is different to a lot of the mass-production brands. But I have a hard time to understand how their plan will work in the long run. Electrification is the future of the automotive industry, so how do you handle that as soon as you come to the majority of electric cars? How do you handle it in your portfolio? I think it’s much more natural to say it’s a powertrain variant that over time will take up the majority of the sold vehicles." EV BATTERIES TO BALANCE GERMAN GRID There's a new project to balance the German power grid, and Germany is a leader in renewables. But we know sometime the sun doesn't shine and the wind doesn't blow. "Mercedes-Benz Energy, is revitalizing an old coal power plant in Germany by turning it into a big energy storage facility. The company unveiled the new project on yesterday, June 21st, at the Elverlingsen power station, which makes use of more than a thousand modules from the battery packs of its Mercedes electric vehicles." says BenzInsider.com Although they've pulled out of the consumer market they're still moving forward with energy storage for commercial applications. "The new project of Daimler stacks 1,920 battery modules in the facility that can hold 9.8 MWh" from an installed capacity of 8.96MW Daimler said: "“The large storage plant is, therefore, a symbol for the transformation in the storage and use of energy—away from fossil electricity grid supply and towards a sustainable extension of the e-mobility value chain that reduces CO2" FOOTAGE OF THE TESLA SEMI We’ve been used to seeing footage of the Tesla Semi Trucks in shaky mobile camera footage but now something direct from Tesla's twitter account. Simply "Tesla Semi driving to Santa Rosa" Fred Lambert at Electrek says: "Santa Rose is about 50 miles away from the Golden Gate bridge – though the trip had to start at another location south of the bridge. The Tesla Semi prototypes have often been spotted around Sunnyvale, where Tesla has a prototyping facility, and Fremont, where Tesla has a factory. It wouldn’t be surprising if the vehicle started its journey from one of those locations – making the trip about 100 miles." That 600 miles range is still doubted by many in the trucking industry. History has taught us not to underestimate Tesla. CHINA INVESTS 7 TIMES MORE IN EVS THAN EUROPE "In the past year, China has secured €21.7 billion of investment in electric vehicles while Europe only secured €3.2 billion, according to a study by Transport & Environment, a European non-profit promoting sustainable transport policy." writes Benjamin Uyttebroeck for FleetEurope: "The Chinese government requires carmakers to obtain credits for the production of EVs that are equivalent to 10% of the overall passenger car market in 2019 and 12% in 2020. The European Commission, on the other hand, proposed new car CO2 reduction targets of 15% in 2025 and 30% in 2030 but didn't include any sales targets for zero-emission vehicles." Julia Poliscanova, clean vehicles manager of Transport & Environment, said: “China bet decisively on electric cars and is winning the race. It understood that production follows demand, and demand is created with smart, ambitious industrial policy. But Europe still can’t shake off its dirty diesel legacy. The EU ministers have two choices: either we set an EV sales target to keep auto jobs at home, or allow European carmakers to go on selling dirty diesels here while investing the earnings into EV production abroad and importing back made-in-China electric cars.” https://www.fleeteurope.com/en/taxation-and-legislation/europe/features/china-invests-7-times-more-evs-europe COMMUNITY Email from Hyundai to Norwegian customers of the Kona.
