JATO: new car CO2 emissions rise for the first time in a decade in Europe; diesel down, gasoline up, SUVs up

Green Car Congress

Alternative-Fueled-Vehicles only experienced a small increase in volume. In comparison, the market share of hybrid vehicles increased by one percentage point. This will likely lead to average CO 2 emissions further increasing in the future, JATO said. Battery-Electric-Vehicles (BEVs) experienced meagre growth too.

IEA working paper highlights potential role of natural gas in reducing global road transport CO2

Green Car Congress

On average, a 25% reduction in carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2-eq) emissions can be expected on a well-to-wheel (WTW) basis when replacing gasoline by light-duty vehicles (LDVs) running on compressed natural gas (CNG). Tags: Climate Change Emissions Heavy-duty Natural Gas.

ITF: measures to decrease road freight CO2 emissions

Green Car Congress

However, achieving climate change targets will also require the widespread adoption of solutions that are not yet fully developed, whether in logistics or technology. Ambitious fuel economy and CO 2 emission standards will help widespread deployment of these measures.

MIT study finds including non-CO2 emissions from synthetic aviation fuel in lifecycle analysis of climate impact can lead to decrease in relative environmental merit; need for a holistic analysis framework

Green Car Congress

Aviation climate change impacts pathway. A new study by researchers at MIT has found that factoring the non-CO 2 combustion emissions and effects into the lifecycle of a Synthetic Paraffinic Kerosene (SPK) aviation fuel can lead to a decrease in the relative environmental merit of the SPK fuel compared to conventional jet fuel.

Naysayer Alert – the hydrogen red herring

My Electric Car

If taken from such sources, hydrogen is a fossil fuel, and is not a renewable resource. In addition, it is subject to similar refining, storage and distribution costs currently associated with petrol and diesel, including upstream CO2 emissions where the electricity required is usually generated from fossil fuels.

IEA World Energy Outlook view on the transport sector to 2035; passenger car fleet doubling to almost 1.7B units, driving oil demand up to 99 mb/d; reconfirming the end of cheap oil

The Current Policies Scenario assumes no new policies are added to those in place as of mid-2011, and is used as a basis for comparison with the New POlicies Scenario. Where the alternative fuel cannot be used directly in existing oil distribution networks and applications, it requires the build-up of a dedicated infrastructure.
