“Electric cars will not save the climate. It is completely wrong,” Fatih Birol , Executive Director of the International Energy Agency (IEA), has stated. Analysis by the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) argues that EVs are the quickest means to decarbonize motorized transport. For instance, recent U.S.

The annual assessment of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by the JRC and the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency (PBL) confirms that CO 2 emissions have stalled for the third year in a row. Emissions from international transport (aviation and shipping) contribute another 3% to the total global GHG emissions.

In addition, despite the rigorous development of renewables, carbon dioxide emissions are increasing, because the energy mix increasingly includes coal-fired power plants that emit large quantities of CO 2 to compensate for weather-related fluctuations in power generation from renewables and the closing of nuclear plants.

For the first time, the share of global CO 2 emissions from developing countries is slightly higher (50.3%) than from industrialized countries (46.6%) and international transport (3.2%) together. Coal consumption: lower increase due to financial crisis and more renewable electricity. Emissions increased by 1.7% in 2008, against 3.3%

Simple, effective solutions that can help lessen the impact of climate change already exist. Rahman, a power expert and professor of electrical and computer engineering at Virginia Tech , is the former chair of the IEEE ad hoc committee on climate change. One type is the ultrasupercritical coal-fired steam power plant.
