Report finds says “negative emissions technologies” need to play a large role in mitigating climate change

Green Car Congress

To achieve goals for climate and economic growth, “negative emissions technologies” (NETs) that remove and sequester carbon dioxide from the air will need to play a significant role in mitigating climate change, according to a new report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine.

IEA working paper highlights potential role of natural gas in reducing global road transport CO2

Green Car Congress

The global natural gas vehicle fleet has grown rapidly in the last 10 years, but still represents less than 1% of global transport fuel consumption. The global fleet of NGVs consists largely of passenger cars/LDVs, although there are some regional differences. Click to enlarge. gas sources, such as biogas or bio-synthetic gas.

Study: even with high LDV electrification, low-carbon biofuels will be necessary to meet 80% GHG reduction target; “daunting” policy implications

Green Car Congress

For the study, the researchers benchmarked 27 scenarios against a 50% petroleum-reduction target and an 80% GHG-reduction target. The implication for biofuels is important, to the extent they are aimed at meeting climate and petroleum use reduction goals. The paper is published in the ACS journal Environmental Science & Technology.

Study suggests current levels of methane leakage would result in numerous decades of more rapid climate change from a shift to natural gas vehicles

Green Car Congress

Hamburg, EDF—assessed the climate-forcing implications of three US-specific fuel-switching scenarios: from gasoline, diesel fuel, and coal to natural gas. This study does not consider potential changes in sulfate aerosols and black carbon from the fuel-switching scenarios.

IEA report calls for no investment in new fossil fuel supply and end to sales of ICE cars by 2035

Green Car Congress

The world has a viable pathway to building a global energy sector with net-zero emissions in 2050, but it is narrow and requires an unprecedented transformation of how energy is produced, transported and used globally, according to a new special report from the International Energy Agency (IEA).
