In addition to the European car market recording tepid growth in 2019, CO 2 emissions have continued to increase, despite new regulation designed to curtail this, according to JATO Dynamics. Last year, the volume-weighted average CO 2 emissions for European markets were at their highest recorded levels since 2014. —Felipe Munoz.
Global CO 2 emissions from fuel use and cement production by region. Emissions increased by 1.7% Global CO2emissions increased from 15.3 The lower increase in CO 2 emissions was mainly due to a decrease in global fossil oil consumption of about 0.6%, the first global decrease since 1992.

A new European project, AMITRAN , is developing a methodology to assess the impact of ICT (information and communication technologies) and ITS (intelligent transport systems) on CO 2 emissions from the transport sector. Since present transport emissions are 27% above 1990 levels, this will be particularly difficult to achieve.
Kreutz presented the paper at the 10 th International Conference on Greenhouse Gas Control Technologies ( GHGT-10 ) earlier this fall in The Netherlands. Direct capture of CO 2 from air, or from an exhaust stream vented to the atmosphere, represents negative emissions. Kreutz used what he called a bifurcated climate regime—i.e.,
The annual assessment of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by the JRC and the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency (PBL) confirms that CO 2 emissions have stalled for the third year in a row. Emissions from international transport (aviation and shipping) contribute another 3% to the total global GHG emissions.
The average CO 2 emissions level of a new car sold in 2013 was 127 g CO 2 /km; the target for 2015 was 130 g/km. The average per-km CO 2 emissions for gasoline-fueled cars was 128.62 EEA noted that manufacturers will have to keep reducing emissions levels to meet the target of 95g CO 2 /km by 2021. grams; for diesel, 127.16
Imagine driving behind a diesel truck spewing clouds of smoke into the air while your new fully electric vehicle cleans up its carbon emissions. The post This Zero Emission Mobility (ZEM) EV captures CO2, cleaning the air as it drives appeared first on Electrek. This dream may soon be a reality.
In June 2021, DHL Freight started piloting a Bio-LNG solution (Bio-Liquefied Natural Gas from sustainable biomass) with Shell on three haulier trucks to reduce CO 2 emissions in road freight transport for DHL’s customer Grundfos. The logistics industry is currently responsible for 11 percent of global carbon emissions.
Short- and long-term CO 2 emission reductions as a share of total motorway CO 2 emissions by cars in various scenarios. Carbon dioxide emissions from road transport in the Netherlands could be reduced by 30% if motorway speed limits in the Netherlands were set at 80 km/h (50 mph). Click to enlarge.
Air Products and ExxonMobil marked the start-up of a new world-scale hydrogen production plant in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Integrating ExxonMobil’s refinery with Air Products new hydrogen plant will lead to a 15% improvement in energy efficiency and reduce related CO 2 emissions by 200,000 tons per year.
Natural gas reduces particulate emissions 95% in comparison to diesel, as well as NO x by 35%. Furthermore, these vehicles make it possible to reduce vehicle emissions of CO2 from 10% up to 100% if using bio-methane. Because of these factors, the vehicles can be used for medium/long-term distances.

Diesel has played a major role in the European Union’s efforts to reduce CO 2 emissions from the automotive fleet; the market share of fuel-efficient new diesel cars in the European Union has remained above 50% since 2010. This projected shift in market share has raised some concerns over the cost of attainting CO 2 emission targets.
Because the process consumes waste CO 2 emissions, the resulting fuels can enable carbon-neutral transportation by supplanting their petroleum-derived counterparts. The company operates from Bedford, Massachusetts and The Hague, The Netherlands with production operations in Hobbs, New Mexico.
