EIA: energy-related CO2 emissions from natural gas surpass coal as fuel use patterns change

Green Car Congress

From 1990 to about 2005, consumption of coal and natural gas in the United States was relatively similar, but their emissions were different; coal is more carbon-intensive than natural gas. In 2015, natural gas consumption was 81% higher than coal consumption, and their emissions were nearly equal. Click to enlarge.

New phase of globalization could undermine efforts to reduce CO2 emissions

Green Car Congress

International trade increased by more than 50% from 2005 to 2015, with approximately 60% of the increase tied to rising exports from developing countries. Yet over the same period, South-South trade grew even faster—more than tripling—to reach 57% of all developing country exports (US$9.3 trillion) in 2014. Coffman, D.’.

Ford researchers: global light-duty CO2 regulatory targets broadly consistent with 450 ppm stabilization

Green Car Congress

The Ford team updated the SMP model with historical data for 2000, 2005, and 2010, and extended the model to calculate the total CO 2 emissions (tonnes) and the TTW (tank-to-wheel) emission rate (g CO 2 /km) for the new vehicle fleet. 2015 ( 400 MPG by 2015) to overcome the inertia of the higher-emitting older vehicles in the fleet.
