Carbon dioxide (CO 2) is the most important greenhouse gas, but not the only one – gases such as methane and nitrous oxide are also drivers of global warming. Carbon dioxide-equivalents (CO 2 eq) try to sum all of the warming impacts of the different greenhouse gases together to give a single measure of total greenhouse gas emissions.
Passenger cars and vans ('light commercial vehicles') are respectively responsible for around 12% and 2.5% of total EU emissions of carbon dioxide (CO 2), which is the main greenhouse gas. On 1 January 2020, Regulation (EU) 2019/631 entered into force, setting CO 2 emission performance standards for new passenger cars and vans.
The United States was the country that experienced the largest decline in energy-related CO 2 emissions in 2019 – a fall of 131 Mt, or 2.7%, to 4.8 Gt. US emissions are now down almost 1 Gt from their peak in 2000, the largest absolute decline by any country over that period. A 15% reduction in the use of coal for power generation underpinned
Hydrogen is an increasingly important piece of the net zero emissions by 2050 puzzle. The key pillars of decarbonising the global energy system are energy efficiency, behavioural change, electrification, renewables, hydrogen and hydrogen‐based fuels, and CCUS. The importance of hydrogen in the Net zero Emissions Scenario is reflected in its

Human emissions of greenhouse gases are the primary driver of climate change. The world needs to decarbonize to reduce them.

The new EU Climate Law increases the EU’s target for reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2030 from 40% to at least 55%, compared to 1990 levels. Additionally, an upcoming proposal from the Commission on the LULUCF Regulation to regulate GHG emissions and removals from land use, land use change and forestry, will increase EU carbon
Airlines will also have to start reporting other pollutants including nitrogen oxides and soot particles from 2025, with the EU planning to propose adding those emissions to the carbon market in 2028. In the second quarter of 2023, EU economy greenhouse gas emissions totalled 821 million tonnes of CO2-equivalents (CO2-eq), a -5.3% decrease compared with the same quarter of 2022 (867 million tonnes of CO2-eq). In the same period, the EU’s gross domestic product (GDP) remained stable registering just a very small variation (+0.05% in the second quarter of 2023, compared with the same
Figure 2 below shows the per capita emissions of selected countries broken down by major sector. Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States have emissions far above global
To reduce overall emissions, the sector must improve building energy performance, decrease building materials’ carbon footprint, multiply policy commitments alongside action and increase investment in energy efficiency. Key global trends. The sector’s emissions intensity in kilogrammes of CO2 per square metre dropped from 43 in 2015 to 40
Our Thinking. On December 13, 2022, the Council of the European Union ("the Council") and European Parliament came to a provisional agreement on the final text of a Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism ("CBAM") regulation. The compromise text was released to the public in January 2023. The CBAM regulation would require importers of certain energy
Carbon dioxide is released as a byproduct of several human activities including the burning of fossil fuels. China produces the highest CO 2 emission of any country in the world, followed by the United States. Countries With The Highest CO 2 Emissions. In 2015, the total global CO 2 emissions stood at a massive 36,061,710 kilotons. China tops
The IEA’s latest World Energy Outlook 2023 says it now expects CO2 emissions to peak “in the mid-2020s” and an accompanying press release says this will happen “by 2025”. Yet the IEA’s own data shows the peak in global CO2 coming as early as this year, partly due to what the outlook describes as the “legacy” of the global energy
The EU now has legally binding climate targets covering all key sectors of the economy. The overall package includes. emissions reduction targets across a broad range of sectors; a target to boost natural carbon sinks; an updated emissions trading system to cap emissions, put a price on pollution and generate investments in the green transition
