A team at the University of Calgary (Canada) has compared the energy intensities and lifecycle GHG emissions of unconventional oils (oil sands and oil shale) alongside shale gas, coal, lignite, wood and conventional oil and gas. This is not the same as crude oil occurring naturally in shales, as in the Bakken.

Change in primary oil demand by sector and region in the central New Policies Scenario, 2010-2035. At a high level, the report notes that there are few signs that the urgently needed change in direction in global energy trends is underway. Click to enlarge. While there is still time to act, the window of opportunity is closing.

Electric vehicles typically have a smaller operating carbon footprint than gasoline cars, even when accounting for the electricity used for charging. With the full cradle-to-grave life cycle in mind, the question becomes: does an EV have a smaller carbon footprint over its lifetime than an ICEV? Manufacturing an Electric Vehicle.

Electric vehicles typically have a smaller carbon footprint than gasoline cars, even when accounting for the electricity used for charging. For this reason, it’s not only the carbon emissions from using your vehicle to take into consideration but also the manufacturing process. Manufacturing an Electric Vehicle.
