Global Carbon Budget 2022: Global fossil CO2 emissions expected to grow 1.0% in 2022

Green Car Congress

NOVEMBER 14, 2022

Growth in oil use, particularly aviation, and coal use are behind most of the increase in 2022. Many countries, cities, companies, and individuals have made pledges to reduce emissions, and it is stark reminder that despite all this rhetoric, global fossil CO 2 emissions are more than 5% higher than in 2015, the year of the Paris Agreement.

The Government of Alberta and Swan Hills Synfuels recently signed a final funding agreement for a carbon capture and storage (CCS) project that will capture carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) from an underground coal gasification (UCG)process. The two had signed a letter of intent on the funding in December 2009. Earlier post.).

In late April 2015, Geely Auto deployed a first-of-its-kind fleet of 150 methanol-fueled taxis in the southern Chinese city of Guiyang in cooperation with the municipal government. Methanol can be produced from a range of renewable sources and fossil-fuel based feed-stocks; in practice methanol is mainly produced in coal-rich China from coal.

Manufacturing an EV battery using coal-based electricity results in more than three times the greenhouse-gas emissions of manufacturing a battery with electricity from renewable sources. 70 percent of lithium-ion batteries are produced in China, which derived 64 percent of its electricity from coal in 2020.

So imagine a million electric cars on US roads which all need to change these batteries in say 2015.
