Coal rebound: Global CO2 emissions were at a record high in 2021

Green Car Reports

Global energy-related carbon dioxide emissions rose 6% in 2021, reaching their highest level ever due to increased use of coal power plants, according to new analysis from the International Energy Agency (IEA).

Global Carbon Budget 2022: Global fossil CO2 emissions expected to grow 1.0% in 2022

Green Car Congress

Global fossil CO 2 emissions are expected to grow 1.0% (with an uncertainty range of 0.1% Growth in oil use, particularly aviation, and coal use are behind most of the increase in 2022. Global fossil CO 2 emissions have now grown 0.6% CO 2 emissions from natural gas use have grown a sustained 2.2% increase in 2021.

thyssenkrupp Steel supplies low-CO2 bluemint steel for truck wheels for first time

Green Car Congress

Compared with conventional steel, bluemint Steel used for sustainable wheel production offers emission savings of 70% up to the hot strip production stage. This enables less coal to be used for the reduction process, resulting in reduced emissions. In this way, the CO 2 intensity of each metric ton is reduced by 1.5 metric tons.

New phase of globalization could undermine efforts to reduce CO2 emissions

Green Car Congress

A new study finds that the growth of carbon production from Chinese exports has slowed or reversed, reflecting a “new phase of globalization” between developing countries that could undermine international efforts to reduce emissions. The paper is published in Nature Communications. trillion) in 2014.

IEA: global energy demand rose by 2.3% in 2018, fastest pace in the last decade; CO2 emissions up 1.7%

Green Car Congress

Still, that was not fast enough to meet higher electricity demand around the world that also drove up coal use. As a result, global energy-related CO 2 emissions rose by 1.7% Coal use in power generation alone surpassed 10 Gt, accounting for a third of the total increase. to 33 Gigatonnes (Gt) in 2018. Oil demand grew 1.3%

IEA finds CO2 emissions flat for third straight year even as global economy grew in 2016

Green Car Congress

Global energy-related carbon dioxide emissions were flat for a third straight year in 2016 even as the global economy grew, according to the International Energy Agency. The data signal a continuing decoupling of emissions and economic activity. Global emissions from the energy sector stood at 32.1

IIASA: removing fossil fuel subsidies will not reduce CO2 emissions as much as hoped

Green Car Congress

Removing fossil fuel subsidies would have only a small effect on CO 2 emissions and renewable energy use, according to a new study led by the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) and published in the journal Nature. Although the global effect on emissions is low, the impact varies between regions.
