Steelmaker Cleveland-Cliffs commits to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 25% by 2030

Green Car Congress

This goal represents combined Scope 1 (direct) and Scope 2 (indirect) greenhouse gas emission reductions on a mass basis (metric tons per year) compared with 2017 baseline levels. Achieving this goal would bring the CO 2 e MMT per year in GHG emissions down to 33.0 in 2030, compared to 44.1

Study finds fleet switch from PFI to GDI engines will result in net reduction in global warming

Green Car Congress

A new study quantifying emissions from a fleet of gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines and port fuel injection (PFI) engines finds that the measured decrease in CO 2 emissions from GDIs is much greater than the potential climate forcing associated with higher black carbon emissions from GDI engines. —Saliba et al.
