Study: countries seeking to cut CO2 emissions must get a handle on city-level emissions

Green Car Congress

The researchers set out a framework for gathering and analyzing local information about how cities contribute to pollution levels, and show how these insights could be used to target climate mitigation initiatives most effectively. Rather than creating low-carbon pathways at a national level, we need a pathway for each city.

TSMC Chip Fabs and Major Carbon-Free Energy Generation by District in Taiwan Keeping TSMC’s large fleet of chip fabs running on carbon-free energy is an ambitious endeavor. Moreover, in a climate-conscious global market, where TSMC gets its energy is as important as how much it’s consuming. We’re still losing a lot,” says Cheng.
