IIASA: removing fossil fuel subsidies will not reduce CO2 emissions as much as hoped

Green Car Congress

The largest effects of removing subsidies were found in areas that export oil and gas, such as Russia, Latin America, and the Middle East and North Africa. Although the global effect on emissions is low, the impact varies between regions. —Keywan Riahi, study co-author and IIASA Energy Program director.

MIT Report Finds Natural Gas Has Significant Potential to Displace Coal, Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions; Role in Transportation More Limited

Green Car Congress

Some of the study’s other key findings: The United States has a significant natural gas resource base, enough to equal about 92 years’ worth at present domestic consumption rates. Russia, the Middle East, and the US have the highest concentration of global gas reserves. —Ernest Moniz. Power generation.

IEA World Energy Outlook 2013 sees CO2 emissions rising by 20% to 2035; oil use on upward trend

Green Car Congress

The US moves steadily towards meeting all of its energy needs from domestic resources by 2035. The links between energy and development are illustrated clearly in Africa, where, despite a wealth of resources, energy use per capita is less than one-third of the global average in 2035. Africa today is home to nearly half of the 1.3
