EEA reports sharp decrease in CO2 emissions of new cars in Europe in 2020

Green Car Congress

The provisional data are available through the EEA’s data viewer on CO 2 emissions of new cars and new vans. New car emissions were increasing as recently as two years ago, but the sharp drop last year shows that carmakers respond to CO2 standards. million new vans registered in Europe in 2020 with average emissions of 157.7

GWU team demonstrates highly scalable, low-cost process for making carbon nanotube wools directly from CO2

Green Car Congress

Efficacious climate mitigation by CO 2 transformation requires a massive market, and product stability and compactness. CNT cost reduction by C2CNT, provides a preferred (lower mass per unit strength) to the mass metal market, and the CNT wool introduced here accelerates CNT demand as a building industry and textile material.
