Vehicle OEMs are investing large sums to advance the transition to electric vehicles, even as they lobby governments to water down the emissions regulations that are forcing that transition. The pursuit of contradictory goals is a basic fact of human nature, and the commercial truck industry is no exception.

EU targets for cutting carbon dioxide emissions are being jeopardized by the absence of harmonized incentives to consumers, he suggested. The paper also calls for the use of conventionally fueled cars in cities to be halved by 2030 and then completely phased out by 2050. —Stefan Jacoby. We continuously improve their efficiency.

The MIT Energy Initiative has released a new report on reducing carbon dioxide emissions from existing coal plants. There is no credible pathway toward prudent greenhouse gas stabilization targets without CO 2 emissions reduction from existing coal power plants. We may not see a strong CO 2 price signal for many years.

Soot emissions are second only to carbon dioxide in promoting global warming, but its effects have been underestimated in previous climate models.

Despite expected dramatic improvements in energy efficiency and conservation, emissions of carbon dioxide from fossil fuel consumption will grow over the next quarter century. Demand for liquid fossil fuels will require the US. Accordingly, an unconventional fossil energy R&D strategy should work to support these objectives.
