Natural gas will play a leading role in reducing greenhouse-gas emissions over the next several decades, largely by replacing older, inefficient coal plants with highly efficient combined-cycle gas generation, according to a major new interim report out from MIT. The first two reports dealt with nuclear power (2003) and coal (2007).

This is an important symbol of Geely Group’s global commitment to sustainability. Methanol can be produced from a range of renewable sources and fossil-fuel based feed-stocks; in practice methanol is mainly produced in coal-rich China from coal. I’m excited to be working with them. —Li Shufu, Chairman of Geely Group.

The fossil fuels are highly significant in the global economy. Global warming due to the emission of gases (Nitrogen Dioxide, Carbon Dioxide, Carbon Monoxide, etc.) from automobiles, environmental pollution, depletion of fossil fuels, etc. are a few negative impacts of global warming.

Globally, the transportation sector contributes about 25% of all CO2 emissions. In the US, 36% of electricity is generated using renewables, including wind, solar, and hydropower, as well as non-CO2-emitting nuclear power. An additional 35% is from natural gas, which emits the least CO2 of any fossil fuel.

Some even say that it pollutes even more than a diesel or petrol burning car. Refining oil takes a huge amount of energy and generates even more pollution.

Carbon dioxide is the most prevalent greenhouse gas pollutant, accounting for nearly three-quarters of global greenhouse gas emissions and 82% of US greenhouse gas emissions. Under the Clean Power Plan, by 2030, renewables will account for 28% of national capacity, up from 22% in the proposed rule.

Even when we reach the limit of our carbon budget, when burning any more oil, coal or gas will push global temperatures beyond 2 degrees celsius, the E&B business model is to harvest more oil so that it can be burned as fuel. There is no limit to the amount of pollution they are willing to cause.
