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

Green Car Congress

In 2019, CO 2 emissions from petroleum fuels—nearly half of which are associated with motor gasoline consumption—fell by 0.8%, and CO 2 emissions from the use of natural gas increased by 3.3%. The United States now emits less CO 2 from coal than from motor gasoline.

JATO: new car CO2 emissions rise for the first time in a decade in Europe; diesel down, gasoline up, SUVs up

Green Car Congress

This rise in average CO 2 emissions correlates with a decrease in demand for diesel cars across Europe—which produce lower CO 2 emissions than gasoline cars—and the rising popularity of SUVs, which emit higher average CO 2 emissions of 133.0 g/km, compared to gasoline cars, which had an average of 123.4 g/km CO 2 emitted.

UK auto industry warns anti-diesel agenda and slow uptake of EVs could mean missing 2021 CO2 targets; rising CO2 average in 2017

Green Car Congress

The UK automotive industry warned that the current anti-diesel agenda combined with the ongoing slow take-up of electric vehicles could mean industry misses its next round of CO 2 targets in 2021, with negative consequences for the UK’s own climate change goals. However, this increase was not enough to offset a -17.1% of the UK’s 2.5

decline in energy-related CO2, according to the latest report from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA). Since the late 1990s, the transportation sector has produced the most CO2 emissions. Transportation increase led by gasoline consumption. Motor gasoline accounted for 56.0% along with a 1.4%

ICCT: decline in diesel sales will have negligible impact on attainment of European CO2 emission standards

Green Car Congress

Other technologies—such as efficiency improvements in gasoline engines as well as the rollout of hybrid electric power trains—offer more compelling and cost-effective pathways to reducing CO 2 emissions from European passenger cars, the ICCT says.

EIA data shows ongoing trend of rising CO2 emissions from energy consumption after several years of decreases

Green Car Congress

After holding for the preceding two years (during the six-month period) at 540 MMT, CO 2 emissions from the consumption of motor gasoline (excluding ethanol) rose to 542 MMT during the period in 2014.
