In a similar way, the full breadth of impacts attributable to conventional gasoline production, such as natural resource consumption and hazardous pollutant emissions, must also be considered in order to make balanced comparisons to biofuels. This study highlighted the environmental impacts of corn ethanol in comparison with gasoline.

It also assesses the strengths and weaknesses of EVs and CNGVs from a perspective of climate change and environmental impact. Although EVs have a greater GHG reduction benefit than CNGVs, they may increase life-cycle emissions of criteria pollutants, simply because coal is heavily involved. Credit: ACS, Huo et al.

However, aerosols have a much shorter lifespan in the atmosphere than the gases responsible for global warming, resulting in an atmospheric distribution that varies by region, especially in comparison to carbon dioxide. For example, aerosols from India cool their country of origin 20 times more than they cool the planet.
