Mercedes-Benz Cars has entered into a power purchase agreement with Statkraft, Europe’s largest producer of renewable energy, enabling Mercedes-Benz Cars to source electricity directly from wind farms in Germany, whose subsidies from the Renewable Energy Act (EEG) expire after 2020. EEG subsidy ending starting in 2021. million households.

Transportation-related CO2 emissions increased by 38 million metric tons (MMmt) (2.1%) in 2015. Although nuclear power remains the dominant source of non-fossil electricity generation, growth in wind and solar generation since 2008 has also contributed to a decline in the carbon intensity of electricity generation. from 2014 levels.

In addition to high oil prices and the financial crisis, the increased use of new renewable energy sources, such as biofuels for road transport and wind energy for electricity generation, had a noticeable and mitigating impact on CO 2 emissions. Global CO2 emissions increased from 15.3 billion tonnes in 1970, to 22.5

The study, led by assistant professor Adam Liska, was funded through a three-year, $500,000-grant from the US Department of Energy, and used carbon dioxide measurements taken from 2001 to 2010 to validate a soil carbon model that was built using data from 36 field studies across North America, Europe, Africa and Asia.

Since 1990, transportation sector CO2 emissions have risen by 21.1%—an in 2008 reflected, among other factors, an increase in wind-powered generation. Only one other year in the 1990 to 2008 time period experienced a decline: 1.2% Transportation sector CO 2 emissions by fuel types (1990 to 2008). Source: EIA. Click to enlarge.

I first realised the necessity for this in about 2001 when considering the pitch to Shell to develop completely closed loop composite resin systems in which the resin could be 100 per cent recovered and recycled at end of vehicle life, with only an extra injection of energy, no raw material. Sorry for such a long-winded non-answer!
