Maersk sets net zero CO2 emission target by 2050

Green Car Congress

The maritime industry emitted close to 1000 million tonnes of CO 2 in 2012, representing about 2.2% of global CO2 emissions. Already, Maerskā€™s relative CO 2 emissions (CO 2 emissions per container moved) have been reduced by 46% (baseline 2007), approximately 9% more than the shipping industry average. Moller - Maersk.

DHL, Shell and Grundfos Bio-LNG pilot for road freight delivers 85% CO2 savings over conventional diesel

Green Car Congress

This corresponds to the emissions of more than 89,900 km driven by a diesel truck and represents 85% of CO2 savings compared to a traditional diesel engine. The logistics industry is currently responsible for 11 percent of global carbon emissions. To fight against climate change, the transport sector needs true decarbonization.

EIA: CO2 emissions from US power sector have declined 28% since 2005

Green Car Congress

Slower electricity demand growth and changes in the electricity generation mix have played nearly equal roles in reducing US power sector CO 2 emissions. US electricity demand has decreased in 6 of the past 10 years, as industrial demand has declined and residential and commercial demand has remained relatively flat.

National Research Council showcasing new algal biorefinery project to reduce CO2 emissions

Green Car Congress

The project uses a 25,000-liter photobioreactor within a pilot-scale algal biorefinery to recycle carbon dioxide and other airborne industrial pollutants into algal biomass that can be further converted into sustainable products, including renewable biofuels and biomaterials.
