OCTOBER 11, 2021

Air pollution was responsible for 1.1 Air pollution was responsible for 1.1 Deaths attributable to household air pollution and ambient particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) air pollution in Ethiopia, Ghana, Rwanda, and overall in Africa, 1990–2019. The most disturbing finding was the increase in deaths from ambient air pollution.

ICCT life-cycle analysis finds no climate benefit in using LNG as marine fuel

Green Car Congress

JANUARY 29, 2020

The results of a new analysis by the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) show that, when combined with a trend toward higher methane leakage and combustion slip, there is no climate benefit from using liquefied natural gas (LNG) as a marine fuel—regardless of the engine technology. First, it contains very little sulfur.

However, emissions do not just remain in conurbations; particles and gaseous pollutants can be transported thousands of kilometers by the wind. The aim is to better understand and predict the extent and impact of urban air pollution on Earth’s atmosphere. HALO in-hangar in Taiwan. —DLR research pilot Stefan Grillenbeck.

In 2017, Japan became the first country in the world to release a national hydrogen strategy. That makes it incredibly energy inefficient and results in a lot of extra pollution. Germany even had to pivot back toward coal for energy production after realizing there was no way to build enough wind and solar farms.

The report also covers an assessment of the potential contribution from reductions in short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs).
