EIA: world energy consumption to grow 56% 2010-2040, CO2 up 46%; use of liquid fuels in transportation up 38%

Green Car Congress

The Brent crude oil spot price averaged $112 per barrel in 2012, and EIA’s July 2013 Short-Term Energy Outlook projects averages of $105 per barrel in 2013 and $100 per barrel in 2014. In the Reference case, all the growth in liquids use is in the transportation and industrial sectors.

PNNL-led international study finds ultrafine aerosols have outsize impact on storm clouds, precipitation

Green Car Congress

Aerosol impacts on cloud processes via this pathway are known as aerosol indirect effects, referred to as aerosol-cloud interaction in the most recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report. Aerosol impacts are a key uncertainty in understanding the current and future climate as well as extreme weather.

Ford researchers: global light-duty CO2 regulatory targets broadly consistent with 450 ppm stabilization

Green Car Congress

They then applied the relative scale to the global LDV fleet WTW (well-to-wheels) CO 2 emissions of approximately 3 GtCO 2 /yr in the year 2014 to get the absolute (Gt CO 2 /yr) emissions. They refer to these emission trajectories as the global CO 2 caps. Climate Change Emissions Fuel Efficiency Policy'
