Specific circumstances, such as the very warm fourth quarter of 2015 and relatively low natural gas prices, put downward pressure on emissions as natural gas was substituted for coal in electricity generation. Transportation-related CO2 emissions increased by 38 million metric tons (MMmt) (2.1%) in 2015. Electricity.

The United States remain one of the largest emitters of CO2, with 17.3 tonnes per capita, despite a decline due to the recession in 2008-2009, high oil prices and an increased share of natural gas. Natural gas consumption increased globally by 2.2% In the European Union, CO 2 emissions dropped by 3% to 7.5 tonnes per capita.

Global CO 2 emissions from fossil fuel use and cement production reached a new all-time high in 2013, according to the annual report “Trends in global CO2 emissions”, released by PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency and the European Joint Research Centre (JRC). The much lower emissions increase in China of 4.2% in 2013 and 3.4%

This would tend to put upward pressure on electricity demand and related emissions. A carbon intensity decline in the electric power sector (-4.0%) which accounted for 40% of total U.S. and 3.2%, respectively) as these sectors rely heavily on electricity to meet their energy needs.

The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) has released a new report, State-Level Energy-Related Carbon Dioxide Emissions, 2000-2010. To the extent that fuels are used in one state to generate electricity that is consumed in another state, emissions are attributed to the former rather than the latter. Source: EIA. Click to enlarge.

Partners of the P2X Kopernikus project on the premises of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in Germany have demonstrated the production of fuel from air-captured CO2 using—for the first time—a container-based test facility integrating all four chemical process steps needed to implement a continuous process.

At the same time, CO2 emissions have been reduced by a similar amount. Engine: 2000 bar injection pressure. liter engine increase the maximum injection pressure by 25% to as much as 2000 bar. Here the exhaust gases are cleaned by a combination of exhaust gas recirculation, oxidation catalytic converter and particulate filter.
