A study by researchers in Australia and China has determined that global food-miles account for nearly 20% of total food-systems emissions; moving fruit and vegetables in refrigerated vehicles is particularly emissions-intensive. We estimate the carbon footprint of food-miles by using a global multi-region accounting framework.

A new report by the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) finds that the rising use of ride-hailing services is increasing carbon emissions, with ride-hailing trips producing nearly 70% greater emissions compared to the trips they are replacing. Error bars for bus and rail emissions represent variability among cities.

Gasoline superusers drive three times more miles than the average driver (30,348 miles per year, compared to 8,698), are more likely to drive pickups and SUVs, and are more likely to live in rural areas. Consumption would be calculated by using total miles driven by the current owner, years owned, and the EPA fuel economy rating.

As part of a pilot project, Audi is procuring 20-inch wheels for the Audi e-tron GT electric car that are made from low-CO 2 emission aluminum supplied by Alcoa to RONAL GROUP, the wheel’s manufacturer. We are therefore actively searching for innovative processes that help reduce CO 2 emissions as early as possible in the creation process.
