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

Green Car Congress

of the human-made climate impact; two-thirds of this impact are caused by emissions other than CO 2 , according to a new study by researchers in Europe and the US. This new study is based on a thorough review of a decade of research on aviation emissions. The formation and emission of sulfate aerosol yields a negative (cooling) term.

JATO: European new car CO2 emissions highest average since 2014; shift from diesel to gasoline and SUVs rise

Green Car Congress

An analysis by JATO Dynamics has found that average new vehicle CO 2 emissions in European increased in 2018, with the total average increasing by 2.4 g/km in 2018—the highest average of the last four years. Instead of moving forwards, the industry is regressing at a time when emissions targets are getting tougher.

IEA: global energy demand rose by 2.3% in 2018, fastest pace in the last decade; CO2 emissions up 1.7%

Green Car Congress

As a result, global energy-related CO 2 emissions rose by 1.7% to 33 Gigatonnes (Gt) in 2018. These findings are part of the International Energy Agency’s latest assessment of global energy consumption and energy-related CO 2 emissions for 2018. Most of that came from a young fleet of coal power plants in developing Asia.

EIA: US energy-related CO2 fell by 2.8% in 2019, slightly below 2017 levels

Green Car Congress

US energy-related CO 2 emissions declined by 2.8% CO 2 emissions had increased by 2.9% in 2018, the only annual increase in the past five years. The changes in US energy-related CO 2 emissions in 2019 offset the increase in 2018. Nearly all of the change in CO 2 emissions in 2019 arose in the electric power sector.
