New phase of globalization could undermine efforts to reduce CO2 emissions

Green Car Congress

A new study finds that the growth of carbon production from Chinese exports has slowed or reversed, reflecting a “new phase of globalization” between developing countries that could undermine international efforts to reduce emissions. The paper is published in Nature Communications.

New report finds global CO2 vehicle emission reduction measures falter; dropping diesels, increasing SUVs

Green Car Congress

The slowdown was especially pronounced in advanced economies; 27 countries saw an increase or stagnation in average vehicle CO 2 emissions in the two years up to 2017. China saw new registrations of LDVs increase 17% per year in the period 2005 to 2017 while India saw an increase of 9% and Indonesia 7%. Source: GFEI.

Global CO2 emissions stalled for the third year in a row

Green Car Congress

The annual assessment of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by the JRC and the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency (PBL) confirms that CO 2 emissions have stalled for the third year in a row. Emissions from international transport (aviation and shipping) contribute another 3% to the total global GHG emissions.

PBL/JRC: Global CO2 emissions increase to new all-time record in 2013, but growth is slowing down

Green Car Congress

Global CO 2 emissions from fossil fuel use and cement production reached a new all-time high in 2013, according to the annual report “Trends in global CO2 emissions”, released by PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency and the European Joint Research Centre (JRC). The much lower emissions increase in China of 4.2%

USGS scientist concludes that anthropogenic CO2 emissions dwarf those from volcanoes

Green Car Congress

Gerlach based his findings on a review of five published studies of present-day global volcanic carbon dioxide emissions, which he then compared to anthropogenic (human-induced) carbon dioxide output. The published projected anthropogenic carbon dioxide emission rate for 2010 is about 35 billion metric tons per year.
