Study suggests China urban passenger transport emissions could peak in 2030

Green Car Congress

A team of researchers in China suggest that, in the context of promoting the use of clean fuel vehicles and increasing vehicle fuel efficiency, CO 2 emissions of China’s urban passenger transport sector could reach a peak of 225 MtCO 2 in 2030. Shifting to the alternative fuels also plays an important role.

How EVs Are Reducing Carbon (CO2) Emissions

Blink Charging

The post How EVs Are Reducing Carbon (CO2) Emissions appeared first on Blink Charging. Another study found that if people choose to charge their EVs during times when there’s less demand on the power grid, we could cut emissions by another 18% – and maybe even allow EVs to support the grid.

EC proposes 30% CO2 reduction from 2021 to 2030 for light-duty vehicles

Green Car Congress

The EU must seize this opportunity and become a global leader, the EC said, pointing to countries such as the United States (which is the lone holdout from the Paris Agreement) and China moving ahead “very quickly”. An action plan and investment solutions for the trans-European deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure.

BCG study finds conventional automotive technologies have high CO2 reduction potential at lower cost; stiff competition for electric cars

Green Car Congress

Advanced combustion technologies alone could reduce CO 2 tailpipe emissions by 40% from current average levels for new-vehicle fleets of 250 to 270 grams per kilometer (g/km) in the United States, 150 to 170 g/km in Europe, 130 to 140 g/km in Japan, and 200 to 215g/km in China, according to the analysis. However, China is a major wildcard.

Integrated approach needed in the fight to reduce CO2 from road transportation

Green Cars News

The discussions focussed on the potential gains to be made in the areas of Fuels and Fuel Economy, Electrification and Traffic Management, each of which were examined through a series of provocative presentations and workshop sessions. If the transport sector gets fixed, that has an enormous downward impact on both fuel and CO2”.

Researchers Propose New F-T Process for Synfuels; Less Work Required Could Result in 15% Reduction in CO2 Emissions Compared to Conventional Route

Green Car Congress

The Fischer-Tropsch process, which catalytically converts synthesis gas to synthetic fuels and chemicals, is “ very inefficient in that a large part of the carbon fed into the process ends up as CO 2 , either directly or indirectly from fuel consumption for heating the reaction. ”. Earlier post.).
