The study examined the fuel-cycle CO 2 , SO 2 , and NO x emissions of EVs in China in both current (2008) and future (2030) periods and compared them with those of conventional gasoline vehicles and gasoline hybrids. The power of EVs is electricity from the grid. Generation mix of the six interprovincial power grids in 2008.

The IMO’s previous goal was a 50 percent reduction by 2050 in comparison with 2008 levels. At the same time, it’s becoming apparent that alternative-fuel solutions we’re looking at have big drawbacks, and that producing these fuels will take a lot of green power that will be needed to replace coal and gas on shore.

Denmark did that with Wind Power and now most of their energy comes from wind rather than oil, natural gas, or coal. It is 12 years later. The management at GM are liars.
