Black carbon is a much larger cause of climate change than previously assessed; about twice previous estimates, and 2/3 the effect of CO2

Green Car Congress

The JGR-Atmospheres Editors decided to provide a platform for this article because we believe that there is great scientific value in reviewing, assessing, and synthesizing a large body of existing literature, and by going beyond the conclusions that any individual paper can reach. In a special comment on the significance of the Bond et al.

3 Oil Majors That Bet Big On Renewables

Green Car Congress

As we have pointed above, ENI has the most ambitious climate change pledge with plans to lower its greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by 2050. Natural gas does produce about 28% less CO2 emissions than heating oil and 50% less than coal for the same amount of energy when burned. Link to original article: [link].

Cars That Think

This is a sponsored article brought to you by LEMO. Water covers 72 percent of the Earth’s surface, its volumes host 80 percent of biodiversity and play a pivotal role in global phenomena, such as climate change. Scientists use it for instance for studying how algae, corals, and animals adapt to climate change.

GWU team demonstrates one-pot process for optimized synthesis of controlled CNTs from CO2; coupling cement and C2CNT

Green Car Congress

Stuart Licht ( earlier post ) have developed a new process that transforms CO 2 into a controlled selection of nanotubes (CNTs) via molten electrolysis; they call the process C2CNT (CO2 into carbon nanotubes). This is a powerful economic incentive, rather than economic cost, to mitigate climate change through a carbon negative process.

JSW Group launches EV Policy for employees offers Rs 3 lakh incentives 

Electric Vehicles India

The transport sector in India is currently the third-largest emitter of CO2. The JSW Steel Limited has also adopted a specific climate change policy and set an ambitious CO2 emission reduction target of 42 per cent over the base year of 2005 by 2030. EVs are not only environmentally-friendly but also cost-effective.”.
