Study: countries seeking to cut CO2 emissions must get a handle on city-level emissions

Green Car Congress

The researchers set out a framework for gathering and analyzing local information about how cities contribute to pollution levels, and show how these insights could be used to target climate mitigation initiatives most effectively. Rather than creating low-carbon pathways at a national level, we need a pathway for each city.

China lags in efforts to achieve 2025 green steel goals, analysts say – ET Auto

Baua Electric

The global steel industry is responsible for around 8% of the world’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, and more than half of all production takes place in China. Some EAF facilities have been forced to turn to pig iron as a feedstock, making production more carbon intensive.

MIT researchers advancing development of supercritical water upgrading of heavy crude; lower cost, energy use and CO2

Green Car Congress

Findings by MIT researchers could help advance the commercialization of supercritical water technology for the desulfurization and upgrading of high-sulfur crude oil into high-value, cleaner fuels such as gasoline without using hydrogen—a major change in refining technology that would reduce costs, energy use, and CO 2 emissions.

The Transformative Role of Electric Vehicles in Shaping Smart Cities

Baua Electric

Unlike traditional internal combustion engine vehicles that emit pollutants such as carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and particulate matter, EVs produce no emissions during operation. This collaboration aligns with the broader goals of reducing carbon emissions and fostering energy efficiency.
