Most major economies contributed to this increase, led by China, USA, India and EU-27 with increases of 10%, 4%, 9% and 3% respectively. By comparison, Chinese per capita CO 2 emissions of 6.8 The average figures for China and EU-27 hide significant regional differences. At present, the US emits 16.9

In the US, a combination of demand reduction and displacement of coal-fired power by gas-fired generation is the lowest cost way to reduce CO 2 emissions by up to 50%. The US should support unconventional natural gas development outside US, particularly in Europe and China, as a means of diversifying the natural gas supply base.

This is due to the 30 to 40 percent increase in emissions EVs create in comparison to manufacturing an ICE vehicle, mainly from its battery production. In states (or countries ) with a high proportion of coal-generated electricity, the miles needed to break-even climb more.

Many of you write to us about the long tailpipe of electric vehicles and coal is major source of electricity generated in India. Studies from independent scientists tell us that even if 100% of Electricity is generated from coal, EV’s emit 50% lesser carbon gases due to the efficiency of the electric motor.

The Current Policies Scenario assumes no new policies are added to those in place as of mid-2011, and is used as a basis for comparison with the New POlicies Scenario. This trend is driven by major improvements in fuel economy in many countries, especially in the largest car markets in the United States, China, Europe and Japan.

Appendix B: Car of the Future: A Comparison of Alternative Vehicles. The combination of harvesting whole forests and burning long-sequestered carbon sources such as coal or oil has impaired the Earth’s carbon cycle at an increasing pace.

While the Volt holds promise, it is currently projected to be much more expensive than its gasoline-fueled peers and will likely need substantial reductions in manufacturing cost in order to become commercially viable,” the task force noted in its recent assessment of GM’s restructuring plans. That… may take some doing on GMs part.

That way you have a fair basis of comparison, you know, apples to apples and all that jazz. It was a Manufacturing Failure, as GM NEVER planned to build the car in Volume, so No Economies of Scale were ever achieved. Denmark did that with Wind Power and now most of their energy comes from wind rather than oil, natural gas, or coal.
