The California Air Resources Board’s latest state inventory of greenhouse gas emissions shows that California’s GHG emissions continue to decrease. Biofuels such as ethanol, biodiesel, and renewable diesel can displace fossil fuels and reduce the amount of fossil-based CO 2 emissions released into the atmosphere.

The process involves swirling the gas with air as part of the power generation process. So far, ammonia has been considered as a fuel when blended with gasoline, diesel, hydrogen and methane fuels to reduce the proportion of carbon-based fuels and their emissions that contribute to climate change. —Somarathne et al.

However, climate models to date have mischaracterized the effects of soot in the atmosphere, according to Jacobson, director of Stanford’s Atmosphere/Energy Program. That ranks the effects of soot ahead of methane, an important greenhouse gas. These three gases are all greenhouse gases, and ozone is a surface air pollutant.
