Chalmers study: ban on sales of fossil-fuel cars greatly reduces lifecycle GHG mainly due to tailpipe emissions; risk of carbon leakage in manufacturing

Green Car Congress

MAY 28, 2021

If a ban were introduced on the sale of new gasoline and diesel cars, and they were replaced by electric cars, the result would be a significant reduction in lifecycle carbon dioxide emissions primarily due to reduced tailpipe CO 2 emissions, according to a new lifecycle study by researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden.

An open-access paper on the work is published in the journal Atmospheric Environment. From there, BC can be transported over long distances and exert impact on climate and composition of remote southern hemisphere. Therefore, air pollution in this region has a particularly strong impact on the atmosphere and the global climate.
