Emissions in 2011 were 526 million metric tons (9%) below the 2005 level. It is estimated that the miles per gallon (mpg) of light duty vehicles improved by 1.0% (20.4 mpg) from 2010 to 2011. Since 1949, the 2011 decline in coal generation of more 6% is second only to the decline in 2009 of almost 12%. per gallon.

Natural gas overtakes coal as the largest fuel for US electricity generation. In some areas, natural gas-fired generation replaces power formerly supplied by coal and nuclear plants. In 2040, natural gas accounts for 35% of total electricity generation, while coal accounts for 32%. per year, from 21.5 l/100 km) in 2012 to 37.2

US energy-related carbon dioxide emissions remain more than 5% below their 2005 level through 2040, reflecting increased. CO 2 emissions per 2005 dollar of GDP have historically tracked closely with energy use per dollar of GDP. mpg in 2025. efficiency and the shift to a less carbon-intensive fuel mix.

Whitacre and Jay Apt found that compared to 2005 gasoline fleet efficiency levels, all charging strategies and CD mode efficiencies yield reduction of CO 2. If a 2020 conventional vehicle fleet efficiency target of 35 mpg (6.7 Scott Peterson, J. L/100km) is compared to the 2020 CD (charge depleting) efficiency, net CO 2.

Rising long-term natural gas prices, the high capital costs of new coal and nuclear generation capacity, state-level policies, and cost reductions for renewable generation in a market characterized by relatively slow electricity demand growth favor increased use of renewables. mpg in 2013 to 37.0 mpg in 2040. mpg in 2013 to 7.8

In response to a Congressional mandate in 2010, the National Research Council (NRC) convened the Committee on Transitions to Alternative Vehicles and Fuels to assess the potential for vehicle and fuel technology options to achieve substantial reductions in petroleum use and GHG emissions by 2050 relative to 2005. Major Findings.

Beginning in 2005, we excerpted individual statements of intentions by carmakers, but by the start of 2008, the number of comments became too numerous for us to track. Kwong said Toyota is concerned PHEVs might just replace gas problems with more coal emissions, since the cars will require more electricity from utilities. Kwong asked.
