Potent GHG SF6 rapidly accumulating in atmosphere, driven by demand for SF6-insulated switchgear in developing countries

Green Car Congress

In practical terms, this high GWP means that 1 t of SF 6 released to the atmosphere is equivalent to the release of 23,500t of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ). Peter Simmonds at the University of Bristol, UK, and his colleagues calculated annual emissions of SF 6 between 1978 and 2018. —Simmonds et al. —Simmonds et al.

ICCT paper suggests new supersonic aircraft unlikely to comply with existing environmental standards for subsonic aircraft

Green Car Congress

A noise assessment concludesd that emerging SSTs are likely to fail current (2018) and perhaps even historical (2006) landing and takeoff noise standards. This increased fuel consumption would lead to proportional increases in CO 2 emissions. today to between 7% and 14% of a Paris-compatible global carbon budget by 2075.

Next 10 report finds California must increase GHG reductions to 4.9%/year through 2030 to meet target

Green Car Congress

This year’s Index finds that 2018 greenhouse gas emissions—the latest year for which data are available—rose overall for the first time since 2012, driven in part by increases in the power and commercial sectors. Data from the report illustrate that California now must reduce emissions by an average of 4.9%
