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.

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: 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). —Meier et al.

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

Because of methane leakage from the natural gas infrastructure, a shift to natural gas vehicles from gasoline or diesel vehicles could lead to greater radiative forcing of the climate—i.e., Recent reports in the scientific literature and popular press have produced confusion about the climate implications of natural gas.
