Volkswagen LCA highlights carbon benefits of EV vs diesel on Golf: 119 vs 140 g CO2/km; ID. family to reduce footprint

Green Car Congress

Furthermore, the company said, it is of crucial importance for CO 2 emissions whether the propulsion energy is generated from fossil or regenerative sources. In the vehicle with an internal combustion engine, most of the emissions occur during the use phase—i.e., in the supply chain of the fossil fuel and the combustion.

Global CO2 emissions stalled for the third year in a row

Green Car Congress

The annual assessment of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by the JRC and the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency (PBL) confirms that CO 2 emissions have stalled for the third year in a row. Emissions from international transport (aviation and shipping) contribute another 3% to the total global GHG emissions.

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

Green Car Congress

2050 well-to-wheels (WTW) transportation sector CO 2 emissions in 11 world regions for a number of vehicle types. The researchers used a four-step process in their study: Determining the relative change in global, all-sector CO 2 emissions required for CO 2 stabilization at 450 ppm. Because of the high LDV emissions in 2000?2010,

EU agreement pushes full implementation of 95 g/km CO2 target for cars back 1 year to 2021, expands use of supercredits

Green Car Congress

The European Parliament (EP) and member state negotiators reached an informal agreement on new rules to achieve the 2020 CO 2 emission target of 95 g/km for new cars. Although an agreement has been reached on the new rules in June, pressure from Germany in the “COREPER” committee had postponed a decision to endorse the deal.
