Study: 2/3 of aviation climate impact due to emissions other than CO2

Green Car Congress

It makes an important contribution to the scientific understanding we have of the role of aviation for climate change—an understanding decision-makers and politicians may need on the way to achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement. This new study is based on a thorough review of a decade of research on aviation emissions.

Prometheus CEO outlines tech advances that could make CO2-to-fuels renewable gasoline and jet price-competitive with fossil fuels

Green Car Congress

This is an important development because there is little time available to reduce CO 2 emissions sufficiently to avoid the worst effects of climate change. The conversion of CO 2 to fuels in these inexpensive water-based systems has shown high faradic efficiencies for reduction of CO 2. to C 2 fuel products such as ethanol.
