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

Green Car Congress

of the human-made climate impact; two-thirds of this impact are caused by emissions other than CO 2 , according to a new study by researchers in Europe and the US. This new study is based on a thorough review of a decade of research on aviation emissions. The formation and emission of sulfate aerosol yields a negative (cooling) term.

EEA: almost all Euro car makers met specific 2017 CO2 targets on new sales, but emissions up year-on-year

Green Car Congress

All but three European car manufacturers met their specific emission targets in 2017, based on current European vehicle test rules. Nevertheless, average carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions from new cars sold in the European Union in 2017 rose by 0.4g The final data show that average CO 2 emissions of a new car sold in the EU rose by 0.4
