Reducing Black Carbon Emissions and Ground-Level Ozone Would Provide Immediate Benefit Against Climate Change

Green Car Congress

Reducing emissions of black carbon soot and ground-level ozone would quickly make a considerable dent in the climate change problem and would also contribute to public health and protect crop yields, according to an essay in the September/October issue of Foreign Affairs.

Perspective: The Role of Offsets in Climate Change Legislation

Green Car Congress

For offsets to be credible, a ton of CO 2 -equivalent emissions from an offset project should equate to a ton reduced from a covered emission source, such as a smokestack or exhaust pipe. To be credible, as noted above, an offset should equate to an emission reduction from a direct emission source, such as a smokestack or exhaust pipe.

PwC: Global Carbon Budget For 2000-2050 Could Be Exhausted By 2034

Green Car Congress

A business-as usual emissions trajectory could exhaust the world’s 2000-2050 carbon budget as early as 2034. Attitudes about climate change vary considerably among citizens of major emitter countries, with the percentage of respondents to a recent survey characterizing climate change as a.

ClearFlame Engine Technologies secures $17M in Series A financing

Green Car Congress

ClearFlame uses soot-free “Clear” Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) to maintain this ratio under varying load conditions. Stoichiometric operation substantially increases power density and leaves an exhaust composition suitable for three-way catalysis (TWC) instead of Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) using urea/ammonia (DEF).
