US EIA Reports Record-setting 7% Overall Decline in US Carbon Dioxide Emissions in 2009; Transport Emissions Down 4.1%, Lowest Percentage Reduction of the End-UseSectors

Green Car Congress

The 2009 results reflect a combination of factors, EIA said, including some particular to the economic downturn; other special circumstances during the year; and other factors that may reflect persistent trends in the economy and in energy use. Increased use of natural gas in place of coal caused the sector’s carbon intensity to decrease.

Shell updates energy scenarios; world entering an era of volatile transitions

Green Car Congress

Improvements in policy-making and strong gains in productivity have helped economies to grow without inflation in the last two decades. Demand pressures will stimulate alternative supply and more efficiency in energy use, but these alone may not be enough to offset growing demand tensions completely. Supply-demand tensions.
