Lifecycle study finds LNG can reduce shipping GHG emissions by up to 21%

Green Car Congress

The study also confirms that emissions of other local pollutants, such as sulfur oxides (SO x ), nitrogen oxides (NO x ) and particulate matter (PM), are close to zero when using LNG compared with current conventional oil-based marine fuels. The Life Cycle GHG Emission Study is a long-awaited piece of the “LNG as a marine fuel“ puzzle.

UNEP: export of used cars to developing world creating significant environmental problems

Green Car Congress

The fast-growing global vehicle fleet is a major contributor to air pollution and climate change; globally, the transport sector is responsible for nearly a quarter of energy-related global greenhouse gas emissions. Cleaning up the global vehicle fleet is a priority to meet global and local air quality and climate targets.
