The poor improvements in carbon intensity were caused by an increased share of fossil-fuel CO 2 emissions produced by emerging economies with a relatively high carbon intensity, and an increasing reliance on coal.

The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) has released a new report, State-Level Energy-Related Carbon Dioxide Emissions, 2000-2010. For example, some states are located near abundant hydroelectric supplies, while others contain abundant coal resources. From 2000 to 2010, CO 2 emissions fell in 32 states and rose in 18 states.

Since 1949, the 2011 decline in coal generation of more 6% is second only to the decline in 2009 of almost 12%. As recently as 2005, coal’s share of electric power sector generation was more than 51%. and 3.2%, respectively) as these sectors rely heavily on electricity to meet their energy needs.

Specific circumstances, such as the very warm fourth quarter of 2015 and relatively low natural gas prices, put downward pressure on emissions as natural gas was substituted for coal in electricity generation. Transportation-related CO2 emissions increased by 38 million metric tons (MMmt) (2.1%) in 2015. from 2014 levels. Electricity.

Conventional direct reduced iron is produced by the reduction (removal of oxygen) of iron oxide lumps or pellets at 800-1050 °C—below the melting point of iron (1536 °C)—by interaction with reductants (H2+CO) derived from natural gas or coal. Resources. Fortini H.W.

Shown are fossil CO2 emissions (top panel) and corresponding global warming (bottom panel). The researchers, involving scientists from Germany, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, concluded that the limit is 1,000 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide between the years 2000 and 2050.

That being said, even a car that derives its energy from coal power plants would be far more clean. Having centralized energy production in that way allows for centralized pollution control measures, filters, so-called "clean coal" rather than depending on X number of cars, manufacturers, and consumers to deal with pollution control.

Jacobson first showed in 2000 that black carbon was the second-leading cause of global warming after carbon dioxide in terms of radiative forcing and, in 2002, that its control would be the most effective method of slowing warming. ºC in 2050, as compared to 2000 temperatures. ºC in 2020, and 2.3

Denmark did that with Wind Power and now most of their energy comes from wind rather than oil, natural gas, or coal. Generating electricity from wind and geothermal rather than a CO2 producing sources would help alleviate that problem. The intolerable act is to pretend that making cars into plug-ins will reduce CO2.

In one of those alternative realities Al Gore got elected President in 2000 and because he understood what was happening with CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions he made cutting emissions, and developing renewable and clean energy sources our country’s focus and goals. Too few people give a shit about that title. .
