Energy-related carbon-dioxide (CO2) emissions in 2010 were the highest in history, according to the latest estimates by the International Energy Agency (IEA). After a dip in 2009 caused by the global financial crisis, emissions are estimated to have climbed to a record 30.6 Fatih Birol, Chief Economist at the IEA. Earlier post.).

PSE), a global provider of advanced process modeling technology, have developed a concept design for shipboard chemical CO 2 capture. Maritime CO 2 emissions are estimated at more than 1000 million tonnes per year, or 3% of total emissions, and are expected to reach 2000 to 3000m tonnes by 2050.

If the 2000 market shares of hybrid cars were 14.1%, a one-year decrease in lifetime will reduce life-cycle CO 2 emission in 2000 by 0.6%. Credit: ACS, Kagawa et al.

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.

Nissan is reviewing its long-term carbon dioxide (CO2) emission targets and according to the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) global CO2 concentration in the atmosphere should be stablised below 450ppm. Now it will introduce a clean-diesel engine into the Japanese market in spring 2010.

The theme of the current issue of Nature is that the climate situation may be even worse than you think. Less than a quarter of the proven fossil fuel reserves can be burnt and emitted between now and 2050, if global warming is to be limited to two degrees Celsius (2 °C), according to a new study published in the journal Nature today.

Lutz is a man given to hyperbole — called global warming "a crock of shit" — but in this case, hes right. We are facing a big problem with global warming. Generating electricity from wind and geothermal rather than a CO2 producing sources would help alleviate that problem.
