Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across the European Union rose slightly in 2017, mostly because of the transport sector. Greenhouse gas emission trends, projections and targets in the EU. The energy sector was able to reduce its emissions due to the decreasing share of coal used to produce electricity and heat in the EU.

The construction of the United Kingdom’s largest energy storage project has begun, and it is expected to be a true difference-maker when the supply of renewables like solar or wind is low. Located in southeast England, the facility would provide 99 MW of power that will be stored in Tesla Megapack batteries.

If you’re drawn to any specific models, something like that probably won’t matter anymore than the “free tank of gas” dealerships used to promote. The scheme was to have the United Kingdom restrict citizens from purchasing new combustion vehicles by 2030. greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050. That’s probably true.

The past decade was the first in two centuries with increasing CO2 emissions intensities, owing to a “coal revival”, in contrast with the rapid conversion to natural gas in the 1990s. These trends, which are diametrically opposed to declared greenhouse gas mitigation goals and targets, are by no means limited to emerging economies.

Natural gas also plays a growing role in the transport sector, its share rising from 3% to 4%. The use of natural gas grows most in road transport, where its share rises from 1% to 3%. Currently the dominant use of gas in the transport sector is in gas compression for pipeline transport and distribution. —WEO 2011.

There’s good reason for this hustle: The United Kingdom wants to add 34 gigawatts of offshore wind power by 2030, en route to decarbonizing its grid by 2035. At that project, cables transfer the electricity to oil and gas platforms, rather than delivering the power back to shore.
