A Guide to Information on Greenhouse Gases and Ozone Depletion
Published July 1988 through June 1999
FROM VOLUME 7, NUMBER 6, JUNE 1994
PERIODICALS... ENERGY SOURCES AND USE
Item #d94jun181
 "Fuel-Cell
Vehicles: The Clean Machine," R.H. Williams, Technol.
Review, 20-30, Apr. 1994.
The energy systems supporting fuel-cell vehicles would produce
much lower amounts of greenhouse gas emissions than those
supporting gasoline or battery cars. With a major redirection of
U.S. research and development, fuel-cell vehicles could be
mass-produced by 2010.
Item #d94jun182
"Microalgae
A Possible Source of 'Biodiesel' Fuel," R. Baum, Chem.
Eng. News, 28-29, Apr. 4, 1994.
Microalgae, which can produce up to 30 times more oil per unit
growth area than land plants, are a potential source of lipids
that could be converted into a diesel fuel.
Item #d94jun183
"Electricity
from Whole Trees," L. Lamarre, EPRI Journal, 17-24,
Jan./Feb. 1994.
Describes "Whole Tree Energy," the production of
electricity by burning dried sections of whole trees. The process
would be cost-competitive with coal and would emit relatively low
levels of SO2, NOx and particulates. When fueled by a renewable
tree crop, it would release no net CO2.
Item #d94jun184

mpg.
"Supercar's Broader Implications: Are We Ready for
Success?" 6, Fall/Winter 1993. Looks at the impacts of a
