EIA: US energy-related CO2 fell by 2.8% in 2019, slightly below 2017 levels

Green Car Congress

in 2019, but power sector CO 2 emissions fell by even more (-8.2%), largely because of increases from renewable sources such as wind and solar. Because sources such as wind and solar have no fuel costs, when available, they are the first sources dispatched to meet electricity demand.

Prometheus CEO outlines tech advances that could make CO2-to-fuels renewable gasoline and jet price-competitive with fossil fuels

Green Car Congress

Recent breakthroughs in separations and catalysis, along with long-trend reductions in solar and wind electricity costs, have significantly increased the potential for cost-competitive renewable fuels from direct air capture (DAC) of CO 2. TW of combined solar and wind capacity for the United States alone will be required.

IEA: global CO2 emissions rebounded to their highest level in history in 2021; largely driven by China

Green Car Congress

The global CO 2 emissions and energy demand numbers are based on the IEA’s detailed region-by-region and fuel-by-fuel analysis, drawing on the latest official national data and publicly available energy, economic and weather data. The use of coal for electricity generation in 2021 was intensified by record high natural gas prices.

GWU team demonstrates highly scalable, low-cost process for making carbon nanotube wools directly from CO2

Green Car Congress

Initial scaling is efficiently applied to available concentrated, hot sources of CO 2 , such as eliminating the CO 2 emission from industrial smoke stacks and simultaneously forming valuable CNT wool. Together these principal societal staples, when produced from CO 2 , comprise an ample demand to markedly decrease atmospheric carbon.
