Natural gas does not offer climate benefits compared to gasoline and diesel, and many biofuel pathways do not, either. Drivers of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles rely too much on the gasoline engine for this pathway to be a long-term climate solution, the ICCT said. Source: The ICCT.

“Electric cars will not save the climate. 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. Just accounting for miles driven , however, BEVs cars and trucks appear cleaner than ICE equivalents nearly everywhere in the U.S.

All large-scale energy systems have environmental impacts, and the ability to compare the impacts of renewable energy sources is an important step in planning a future without coal or gas power. In the journal Joule , Harvard researchers report the most accurate modelling yet of how increasing wind power would affect climate.

If current rates of decline continue through 2020, the state will need to reduce emissions at a rate of 4.97% each year in the decade between 2020 and 2030, and produce even steeper declines in the period from 2030 to 2050, if it is to meet current climate goals. In 2015, California increased renewable electricity to 21.9%

Canada recently released the first details of its flagship policy to achieve one of its most ambitious climate goals to date — by 2035, every new car sold in the country must be emissions-free. In comparison, EVs comprised 19% of new car sales in the UK. In 2021, only 5.6% of new cars sold in Canada were electric.

CO 2 emissions from the ammonia industry alone amount to approximately 200 million tons per year—by comparison, Germany generates around 800 million tons of carbon dioxide per year. The compared hydrogen production technologies were steam methane reforming (SMR) and water electrolysis coupled with renewable electricity.

Fully electric vehicles are zero-emission and their batteries can be charged using renewable energy. This is cleaner and better for the environment than producing petrol and diesel. In comparison – a combustion engine car’s brakes convert kinetic energy into wasted heat to slow the vehicle. What is regenerative braking?
