Study: 2/3 of aviation climate impact due to emissions other than CO2

Green Car Congress

The study was published in the journal Atmospheric Environment. In the new study, we have analyzed 20 years of aviation emissions, up until and including 2018. These contributions involve a large number of chemical, microphysical, transport and, radiative processes in the global atmosphere. Aviation accounts for 3.5% mW (mW) m

ITF: measures to decrease road freight CO2 emissions

Green Car Congress

Moving goods by road consumes about 50% of all diesel produced; 80% of the global net increase in diesel use since 2000 comes from road freight. Trucks represent the fastest growing source of global oil demand. They account for 40% of the expected increase in oil demand to 2050 and 15% of the increase in global CO 2 emissions.
