Study: Synthetic fuels cost more money and cause more CO2 emissions vs. batteries

Green Car Reports

As buzz around synthetic fuels builds, the Europe-focused environmental group Transport & Environment (T&E) cautions that vehicles burning these supposedly greener fuels may cause more carbon-dioxide (CO2) emissions than battery-powered vehicles, and cost more as well.

SLB introduces low-carbon alternative for well construction cement that eliminates up to 85% of embodied CO2

Green Car Congress

In addition to its embodied CO 2 emissions, portland cement creates significant transportation-related emissions from manufacture to deployment. It can also be deployed across a range of field applications, including corrosive environments. Cement is also used during well abandonment or intervention operations.

T&E: Rising use of private jets sends CO2 emissions soaring

Green Car Congress

CO 2 emissions from private jets in Europe increased by nearly a third (31%) between 2005 and 2019, rising faster than commercial aviation emissions, according to a new report from environmental campaign group Transport & Environment (T&E). Flying on a private jet is probably the worst thing you can do for the environment.
