MIT Study Provides Guidelines to Build Zero-Carbon Electricity System

In major legislation passed at the end of August, California committed to creating a 100 percent carbon-free electricity grid — once again leading other nations, states, and cities in setting aggressive policies for slashing greenhouse gas emissions. Now, a study by MIT researchers provides guidelines for cost-effective and reliable ways to build such a zero-carbon electricity system.

New MIT Study Reports on Future of Nuclear Energy in Carbon-Constrained World

How can the world achieve the deep carbon emissions reductions that are necessary to slow or reverse the impacts of climate change? The authors of a new MIT study say that unless nuclear energy is meaningfully incorporated into the global mix of low-carbon energy technologies, the challenge of climate change will be much more difficult and costly to solve. For nuclear energy to take its place as a major low-carbon energy source, however, issues of cost and policy need to be addressed.

Hongli Focuses More on Developing and Commercializing Clean Tech Energy Products

Hongli Clean Energy Technologies Corp., a vertically integrated producer of clean energy products located in Henan Province, today announced that it has discontinued its coking business by terminating the coke producing agreement with Pingdingshan Hongfengxuanmei Coking and Chemical Company on November 20, 2015. The coke inventory will be used for producing syngas. The management has fully considered the risk and expected the coke demand will continue to slide due to the soft steel industry in China.
