Study estimates global black carbon emissions up 72% from 1960-2007; BC emissions intensity down 52%

Green Car Congress

The Fifth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) said BC has a direct radiative forcing of +0.4 (+0.05 After 1988, the total emissions leveled off but seem to increase again since the mid-1990s to reach another peak of 2,956 Gg in 2006. and 172 million in 1960 and 2010, respectively).

Tsinghua/Argonne Study Finds That Mass Use of EVs in China Could Result in Higher CO2 and Criteria Pollutant Emissions Than Conventional and Hybrid Gasoline Vehicles Due to Coal-Fired Generation of Electricity

Green Car Congress

Fuel-cycle SO 2 emissions of EVs compared to those of gasoline ICEVs and HEVs in China, current (left) and future (right). The study examined the fuel-cycle CO 2 , SO 2 , and NO x emissions of EVs in China in both current (2008) and future (2030) periods and compared them with those of conventional gasoline vehicles and gasoline hybrids.

How the EV Charging Industry Is Emerging and Evolving

EV Connect

After 150 years without much happening around electric vehicles, Tesla set off a spark in 2006 that triggered a chain reaction of rapid growth and change. In 2010, there were only about 17,000 electric cars on roads around the world. Most of the time, evolution moves slowly. But sometimes it’s lightning-fast.
