Nevertheless, average carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions from new cars sold in the European Union in 2017 rose by 0.4g The demand for passenger cars has been the main contributing factor to the trend in CO 2 emissions since 2000: when demand decreases, the emissions follow. The biggest changes were observed between 2009 and 2013.

Without an effective carbon dioxide emission standard, fuel prices alone are unlikely to spur large improvements, suggests the study by researchers at the International Council on Clean Transportation. On average, fuel efficiency has remained flat on a seat-km basis and improved only 0.29% annually on a ton-km basis since 2000.

Most of the coal structure—a solid organic material made up of large, complex molecules containing carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, sulfur and nitrogen—is broken down in the first-stage reactor. Approximately 80% of the CO2 is in concentrated form ready for sequestration.
