Annual GHG emissions from a large refinery are comparable to the emissions of a typical 500 MW coal-fired power plant. Between 2008 and 2015, it is estimated that more than $15 billion will be spent to add processing capacity specifically for heavy crude blends in US refineries. By 2010 this fraction had increased to 15%.

Because of the lower carbon/hydrogen ratio of methane (CH 4 ) relative to gasoline, CO 2 emissions from the combustion of natural gas are approximately 75% of those of gasoline for a given amount of energy production. They also emit less CO 2 per km than EVs in China, because of heavy reliance there on coal to produce electricity.

Volt like hybrids are the intermediate future between hydrogen or fast charging electric cars. Denmark did that with Wind Power and now most of their energy comes from wind rather than oil, natural gas, or coal.
