EIA: US energy-related CO2 fell by 2.8% in 2019, slightly below 2017 levels

Green Car Congress

Because of continuing trends in how much energy the US economy uses and how much CO 2 that energy use generates, energy-related CO 2 emissions in 2019 fell more than energy consumption, which declined by 0.9% The changes in US energy-related CO 2 emissions in 2019 offset the increase in 2018. CO 2 emissions had increased by 2.9%

Prometheus CEO outlines tech advances that could make CO2-to-fuels renewable gasoline and jet price-competitive with fossil fuels

Green Car Congress

This is an important development because there is little time available to reduce CO 2 emissions sufficiently to avoid the worst effects of climate change. This is much better suited to the availability of renewable energy sources than thermal processes that must run 24/7 for stable operation. —Rob McGinnis.

Ford researchers: global light-duty CO2 regulatory targets broadly consistent with 450 ppm stabilization

Green Car Congress

The researchers used a four-step process in their study: Determining the relative change in global, all-sector CO 2 emissions required for CO 2 stabilization at 450 ppm. They assumed that all sectors of the economy follow the same proportional reduction. Climate Change Emissions Fuel Efficiency Policy' Winkler, Timothy J.
