WAVE 2013 Help the Forest Grow!
posted by on Tuesday, March 26, 2013 - 09:00 AM
gfoat writes "Green MotorSport is joining hands with the Growing Air Foundation "GAF" to wield a double-edged sword against climate change. Both sustainable energy and reforestation are necessary to lower greenhouse gases and normalize weather patterns. GAF uses 90% of its donations for reforestation. Green MotorSport complies with the partnership parameters of the Growing Air Foundation. We have a long history of demonstrating our green commitments and achievements towards reducing global greenhouse gas emissions. For the past decade we have shown how renewable energy from the sun and wind can power our transport. "

A STUDY INTO THE ECONOMICS OF GAS AND OFFSHORE WIND
posted by on Tuesday, March 05, 2013 - 11:58 AM
gfoat writes "The report finds that, compared to a future power system more heavily dependent on gas, large-scale investment in offshore wind would impact positively on the UKs GDP and employment. In the longer term, offshore wind would prevent locking the UK into natural gas usage and imports. UK power sector CO2 emissions in the WIND scenario would be around one-third of those in the GAS scenario in 2030, even though some gas-fired power is needed to provide backup when there is insufficient wind to meet power demand."

JOIN GMS IN THE WAVE 2013
posted by on Friday, February 22, 2013 - 01:14 PM
gfoat writes "Green MotorSport is inviting participants to join us in the World Advanced Vehicle Expedition (WAVE) from 29th June to 7th July. WAVE has a special mission to promote electric mobility running on renewable energy. In 2011, twenty four teams from eight countries joined the first WAVE, driving from Paris to Prague powered by the sun and the wind. In 2012, we drove from Genoa in Italy to Amsterdam in The Netherlands. We visited governments, business leaders, schools and places of interest, and again reached the attention of millions of people. Green MotorSport's participation in WAVE was recently featured on the BBC and just recently we released a series of full length HD documentary videos of both trips. See more at GMS NEWS."

HYDROGEN FUEL CELLS IN A DIVERSE TRANSPORT SYSTEM
posted by on Friday, July 06, 2012 - 08:58 AM
gfoat writes "As the worlds motor industries introduce measures to reduce transports dependence on oil and to meet the legislation to cut CO2 emissions, a timely meeting in Birmingham, UK, considered the role of hydrogen fuel cells in a low carbon transport system. At the conference entitled Smart Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Power different options were proposed to commercialise hydrogen fuel cells for transport. See the full new report at FuelCellPower."

Higgs boson-like particle discovery claimed at LHC
posted by on Wednesday, July 04, 2012 - 07:50 AM
gfoat writes "Cern scientists reporting from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have claimed the discovery of a new particle consistent with the Higgs boson. The particle has been the subject of a 45-year hunt to explain how matter attains its mass. Both of the Higgs boson-hunting experiments at the LHC see a level of certainty in their data worthy of a "discovery". Could this open up new energy technologies for our future?
