EIA projects US energy-related CO2 emissions to remain near current level through 2050; increased natural gas consumption

Green Car Congress

Source: US Energy Information Administration, Monthly Energy Review, Annual Energy Outlook 2019 Reference case. Petroleum emissions from other sectors have fallen in recent years as equipment and processes that use petroleum fuels have been replaced by those using other fuels, in particular, natural gas.

EPA Trends on EVs and PHEVs; beginning of a “measurable and meaningful impact” on new vehicle fuel economy and emissions

Green Car Congress

With alternative fuel vehicles now approaching 1% of new vehicle production, however, they are in fact beginning to have a “ measurable and meaningful impact ” on overall new vehicle fuel economy and CO 2 emissions. In the analysis, EPA uses overall fuel economy in mpg equivalent (mpge) and tailpipe CO 2 emission values.

CRI awarded €1.8M EU grant to scale CO2-to-methanol technology

Green Car Congress

The project is referred to as “CirclEnergy” as CRI’s technology is designed to support and enable the transition to circular economy. Hydrogen generation: Hydrogen can be generated by water electrolysis using MW-scale electrolyzer technology, utilizing renewable electricity to produce pressurized high purity H 2 and O 2 gases.

EIA Energy Outlook 2010 Reference Case Projects Moderate Growth in US Energy Consumption, Greater Use of Renewables, and Reduced Oil and Natural Gas Imports

Green Car Congress

Assuming no new policies, growth in energy-related CO 2 is driven by electricity and transportation fuel use. The reference case projections do not include the effects of potential future policies that have not yet become law—e.g., Shale Gas Drives Growth in Natural Gas Production and Reduces Reliance on Imported Gas.
