Electric cars and the environment
Argonne offers a Free 15-minute webinar Wednesday, March 2nd, at 12:15 p.m. ET.
The webinar is called “Science at Work: Electric vs. Conventional Vehicles Which Are Greener?” You can Register here for the brief webinarIt is free and open to everyone.
Electric vehicles produce less greenhouse gas emissions than gasoline vehicles. However, there are details that matter. For example, how the electricity used to power EVs is produced, which materials are used for the batteries, and where those materials are sourced.
In the webinar Jarod KellyPrincipal energy systems analyst will discuss the environmental benefits of owning an electric vehicle over a gasoline-powered vehicle. He will also demonstrate how Argonnes model, Greenhouse Gases, Regulated Emissions, Energy Use in Technologies (GREET), is able to track how any vehicle, fuel, material, or vehicle affects the environment.
Kelly and moderator John HarveyArgonne’s business development executive, Jeremy Sullivan, will discuss how the labs method of measuring greenhouse gases emissions is guiding over 48,000 users worldwide, including policymakers.

Electrek’s Take
Although the name of this webinar is somewhat amusing, it’s because EVs are much more eco-friendly than traditional gas-powered cars. But this webinar is worth listening to in order to learn more about exactly how one’s electric car impacts the environment.
Of course it’s cleaner to charge an EV with clean power, for example, but listeners will come out of this 15-minute-long webinar knowing more about where EVs sit when it comes to creating emissions, and what you can do to reduce your emissions further if you’re an electric car driver.
