Analysis by the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) argues that EVs are the quickest means to decarbonize motorized transport. Transportation accounts for only 27 percent of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) in the U.S.; If Birol were from Maine, he might have simply observed , “You can’t get there from here.”

This decline was due almost entirely to a drop in coal consumption. Coal-fired power generation fell by a record 18% year-on-year to its lowest level since 1975. An increase in natural gas generation offset some of the climate gains from this coal decline, but overall power sector emissions still decreased by almost 10%.

Soot particles from oil and wood heating systems as well as road traffic can pollute the air in Europe on a much larger scale than previously assumed. During transport, ageing processes not only change the chemical composition of the particles, but also influence their physical properties (e.g. forest fires).

Driven by rising natural gas and oil consumption, levels of CO 2 are expected to hit 37 billion metric tons this year, according to new estimates from the Global Carbon Project (GCP), an initiative led by Stanford University scientist Rob Jackson. In 2019, consumption of coal is expected to drop 11% in the U.S.—down
