SLCPs may account for an estimated 40% of global warming, increasing the impacts of climate change. The major sources of methane in California are livestock (~30% of the state’s methane emissions), followed by landfills and oil and gas production. CO 2 remains in the atmosphere for up to a century.

As we confront the enormous challenge of climate change, we should take inspiration from even the most unlikely sources. Take, for example, the tens of thousands of fossil-fueled ships that chug across the ocean, spewing plumes of pollutants that contribute to acid rain, ozone depletion, respiratory ailments, and global warming.

That ranks the effects of soot ahead of methane, an important greenhouse gas. Soot could be further reduced by converting vehicles to run on renewable electric power. Providing electricity to rural developing areas, thereby reducing usage of solid biofuels for home heating and cooking, would have major health benefits, he said.

The California Air Resources Board released the draft proposed first update to the AB 32 Scoping Plan, which guides development and implementation of California’s greenhouse gas emission reduction programs. Additional strategies are needed over the next five years to define the paths for longer-term change.

Together with the Energy Saving Trust (EST) and other partners, the National Franchised Dealers Association developed the EVA scheme to tackle poor advice and uncertainty in electric car ownership. The EVA scheme identified those two issues as the main barriers preventing many potential electric car owners from purchasing the vehicle.

Low-input cultivation of perennial plants, e.g. from short-rotation forestry and grasslands, may be an effective source of cellulosic biomass and provide environmental benefits (reduced pollution and lower greenhouse gas emissions). In general, biofuels made from organic waste are environmentally more benign than those from energy crops.
