EIA: US energy-related CO2 emissions down 1.7% in 2016; carbon intensity of economy down 3.1%; transportation emissions up

Green Car Congress

US energy-related CO 2 emissions decreased by 89 million metric tons (MMmt), from 5,259 MMmt in 2015 to 5,170 MMmt in 2016. decline in energy-related CO2, according to the latest report from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA). Of the four endā€use sectors, only transportation CO 2 emissions increased in 2016.

ICCT: decline in diesel sales will have negligible impact on attainment of European CO2 emission standards

Green Car Congress

Other technologies—such as efficiency improvements in gasoline engines as well as the rollout of hybrid electric power trains—offer more compelling and cost-effective pathways to reducing CO 2 emissions from European passenger cars, the ICCT says. For instance, hybrid electric vehicles and diesel cars in the small (e.g.,

gigatons of CO 2 : three times Germanyā€™s carbon-dioxide emissions in 2016. Even if all cars were to drive electrically one day, aircraft, ships, and even trucks will still run mainly on fuel. If the electricity used is generated from renewables (and thus CO 2 -free), such fuels are carbon-neutral and very versatile.
