EPA annual US GHG inventory shows 1.6% drop in 2011 from previous year; transportation CO2 down 1.1%

Green Car Congress

Recent trends can be attributed to multiple factors including reduced emissions from electricity generation, improvements in fuel efficiency in vehicles with reductions in miles traveled, and year-to-year changes in the prevailing weather, EPA said. Commercial aircraft emissions continued to fall, having decreased 18% since 2007.

EPAs GHG Standards for Light-Duty Vehicles; Special Credits To Encourage PHEVs, BEVs and FCVs

Green Car Congress

As part of its program, EPA is establishing a system of averaging, banking, and trading (ABT) of credits, based on a manufacturer’s fleet average CO 2 performance. Each manufacturer will have its own fleet-wide standard which reflects the vehicles it chooses it produce. Both EPA and NHTSA programs are footprint-based—i.e.,
