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. These contributions involve a large number of chemical, microphysical, transport and, radiative processes in the global atmosphere. Both radiative forcing (RF) and effective radiative forcing (ERF) terms and their sums are calculated for the years 2000–2018.

of CO 2 per km from 2016, according to final data published by the European Environment Agency (EEA). 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. This increase brings car manufacturers further away from their 2021 targets.

Percent change in median CO2 by scenario relative to 2000. This scenario assumes that 100% of the study region’s vehicle fleet will be HEVs by 2050—half of which will be grid plug-in HEVs—but that the fleet will otherwise remain unchanged from 2000 in terms of its relative composition of different vehicle size classes.

Labour's £5,000 sweetener to launch electric car revolution | Environment | The Guardian

Tony Karrer Delicious EVdriven

The proposals are part of a £250m strategy, seen by the Guardian, spelling out a revolution in Britains road transport network based on ultra-low carbon vehicles. Something like 35% of all our carbon emissions are caused by domestic transport," he said. "Of The new breed of electric car. My Web del.icio.us
