Deutsche Post now automatically offsetting all CO2 emissions from mail transport

Green Car Congress

billion letters handled by Deutsche Post’s letter mail operations in 2020, this would translate into an offset of more than 300,000 tonnes of CO 2 emissions. Climate protection is a core focus issue for Deutsche Post. For the roughly 6.5

Prometheus CEO outlines tech advances that could make CO2-to-fuels renewable gasoline and jet price-competitive with fossil fuels

Green Car Congress

This is an important development because there is little time available to reduce CO 2 emissions sufficiently to avoid the worst effects of climate change. Rob McGinnis (2020) “CO 2 -to-Fuels Renewable Gasoline and Jet Fuel Can Soon Be Price Competitive with Fossil Fuels,” Joule doi: 10.1016/j.joule.2020.01.002. 2020.01.002.

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

Green Car Congress

In the study, the Ford team derived regional CO 2 targets for new LDVs while still providing an integrated view of the global LDV fleet—a perspective critical to the planning needs for global automotive firms. The resulting full fleet WTW fossil CO 2 emissions in each region become the regional CO 2 caps.

Provisional 2030 economic impact of achieving the 2020 targets in the two Phase I scenarios—Current Policy Initiatives and Tech 1— compared to baseline. In the second scenario, Tech 1, cars and vans achieve slightly higher efficiency levels in 2020 and continue along a similar trajectory of around 3% annual improvement.

EC proposes 95 grams CO2/km target for new cars by 2020, 147 grams for light vans; super credits for cars below 35g

Green Car Congress

The European Commission today proposed targets for the further reduction of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions from new cars and light commercial vehicles (vans) by 2020. The proposals will cut average emissions from new cars to 95 grams of CO 2 per km (g CO 2 /km) in 2020 from 135.7 T&E: Super credits = “hot air”.

CO 2 , Compared to the Proposal and 2012 and 2020 Rules, grams/mile, 2021-2026. EPA’s analysis shows manufacturers can comply with the final standards with modest increases in the numbers of electric vehicles entering the fleet. Similar incentives were included in the 2012 rule but removed by the 2020 SAFE rule for MYs 2022-2025.

EU agreement pushes full implementation of 95 g/km CO2 target for cars back 1 year to 2021, expands use of supercredits

Green Car Congress

The European Parliament (EP) and member state negotiators reached an informal agreement on new rules to achieve the 2020 CO 2 emission target of 95 g/km for new cars. Under the new agreement, supercredits would be allowed from 2020 to 2022, and capped at 7.5 g/km over that period. The earlier agreement had capped supercredits at 2.5
