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.

Failed Local Paper Put Out Of Its Misery - By Creative Greenius!

Creative Greenius

While the Breeze deliberately ignores the biggest environmental news of our day, they offer instead the most lie-filled, disproved, already-rebutted by science, spam-quality propaganda claiming that global warming is a hoax and that global cooling is really the problem. km and on February 15, 2009, global sea ice area was 15.45

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

Pacala, Princeton University; James J. Chameides, Duke University; and Steven P. Hamburg, EDF—assessed the climate-forcing implications of three US-specific fuel-switching scenarios: from gasoline, diesel fuel, and coal to natural gas. Reductions in CH 4 leakage are needed to maximize the climate benefits of natural 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

An 80% reduction in US greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050 has been generally established as the de facto required domestic contribution to stabilizing global concentrations at low to medium levels, that is, 450 and 550 ppm carbon dioxide equivalent (CO 2 -equiv). Renewable and nuclear electricity supply technologies are available today.

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).
