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

Green Car Congress

Nearly all of the change in CO 2 emissions in 2019 arose in the electric power sector. Because sources such as wind and solar have no fuel costs, when available, they are the first sources dispatched to meet electricity demand. In 2019, the transportation sector’s energy-related CO2 emissions declined by 0.7%

Columbia University engineers make breakthrough in understanding electroreduction of CO2 for conversion to electrofuels

Green Car Congress

Knowing the exact structure of the activated CO 2 is essential because its structure dictates both the end product of the reaction and its energy cost. Understanding the nature of the first reaction intermediate is a critical step toward commercialization of the electrocatalytic CO 2 conversion to useful chemicals.
