BEV sales in the UK have grown rapidly over the past year – with demand rising, at least in part due to petrol shortages, which dried up many motorists’ gas tanks in September. Johnson signed a bill at the end of 2020 that would ban the sale of cars that run entirely on internal combustion engines from 2030.

Also in the highest case scenario, a combination of high EV uptake; improvements in the efficiency of internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs); and demand management measures to reduce the amount people drive could potentially deliver a 75% reduction in car emissions by 2030. EVs could provide nearly a third of this emissions reduction.

Staging a new technological revolution at a faster pace and on a global scale will call for proactive government intervention and greater international cooperation. These trends, which are diametrically opposed to declared greenhouse gas mitigation goals and targets, are by no means limited to emerging economies.

The report’s findings for the period 1997–2007 present a mixed picture, with some improvements in air pollutants and serious concerns regarding persistent growth in transport’s greenhouse gas emissions. Transport, including international aviation and maritime transport, accounts for around a quarter of total EU greenhouse gas emissions.

They are highly automated production islands that directly convert wind energy to hydrogen, with a few of them processing the gas into fuels and other goods. In mid-2022, the International Renewable Energy Agency counted 32 countries that had adopted hydrogen strategies and 11 others that were preparing such plans.

Indexed European transport sector greenhouse gas emissions, 1990-2006. Transport continues to contribute disproportionally to Europe’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, poor air quality and noise, and still uses the least efficient modes to move people and goods according to a new report from the European Environmental Agency (EEA).

In order to reduce dependence on oil resources, improve the global energy structure, and reduce pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, vehicle electrification has become a major trend. Therefore, in communities with low population density and no high-rise buildings, users’ demand for household charging piles is naturally greater.
