grams of carbon dioxide per kilometrer (g?CO CO 2 /km), according to the European Environment Agency’s (EEA) final data. Moreover, the average mass of new conventional cars, excluding SUV, increased by around 22 kg from 2018 to 2019. CO2/km, which is about 7 % above the 2020 target of 147 g CO 2 /km. g CO 2 /km.

Study: 2/3 of aviation climate impact due to emissions other than CO2

Green Car Congress

The study was published in the journal Atmospheric Environment. In the new study, we have analyzed 20 years of aviation emissions, up until and including 2018. Seen together, the climate impact of these two factors is bigger than that of the sector’s carbon emissions. For 2018 the net aviation ERF is +100.9 mW (mW) m ?2

Researchers develop efficient single-atom Ni catalyst for conversion of CO2 to CO

Green Car Congress

An international research team has developed a new single-atom electrocatalyst that efficiently converts CO 2 to carbon monoxide (CO). One reason is that it performs HER very well, and brings down the CO2 reduction selectivity dramatically. Their findings were published in the RSC journal Energy & Environmental Science.

Port of Los Angeles rolls out $82.5M hydrogen fuel cell electric freight demonstration; Toyota fuel cell technology

Green Car Congress

By utilizing this technology, port operators like our own Toyota Logistics Services (TLS) can utilize a zero-emissions and scalable solution for CO2 reductions, which will contribute to cleaner air at the port and the surrounding communities where TLS operates. This is an important milestone in Toyota’s drive toward carbon neutrality.

Study: countries seeking to cut CO2 emissions must get a handle on city-level emissions

Green Car Congress

Rather than creating low-carbon pathways at a national level, we need a pathway for each city. The research was funded by the UK Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). —Prof Guan. Yuli Shan, Dabo Guan, Klaus Hubacek, Bo Zheng, Steven J.

Shipping sector proposes US$5 billion R&D program over 10 years to cut emissions

Green Car Congress

It is shipping’s global regulator, the UN International Maritime Organization (IMO), which has responsibility for regulating the reduction of CO2 emissions by international shipping. The industry-wide move to accelerate R&D is necessary to ensure the ambitious CO 2 reduction targets agreed to by IMO Member States in 2018 are met.

EEA: almost all Euro car makers met specific 2017 CO2 targets on new sales, but emissions up year-on-year

Green Car Congress

Nevertheless, average carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions from new cars sold in the European Union in 2017 rose by 0.4g of CO 2 per km from 2016, according to final data published by the European Environment Agency (EEA). This increase brings car manufacturers further away from their 2021 targets. g CO 2 /km in 2017 to 118.5
