An international team of researchers has confirmed the presence of a deep-reaching ocean circulation system off Iceland—the North Icelandic Jet (NIJ)—that could significantly influence the ocean’s response to climate change in previously unforeseen ways.

Linking with Québec is a significant advance in California’s efforts to fight climate change and steer our economy toward a clean energy future. Climate change is a global issue that must be addressed by all levels of government. Just last month Mexico also passed climate change legislation. —ARB Chairman Mary D.
Previous winners have fixed carbon into stone in Iceland, produced biofuels in Kenya, and helped corporations around the world set and achieve emissions goals. of the International Institute for Environment and Development; Dr. Brenda Ekwurzel, Ph.D., The competition is open until 10 Feb to applicants from around the world.
More than 90% of such vehicles are powered by internal combustion engines burning oil-derived fuels. Encouraging the use of low-carbon alternatives is an essential part of meeting climate change targets as well as improving local air quality and health. Note the different scaling used in the graphs.

A new study by the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) estimates heavy fuel oil (HFO) use, HFO carriage, the use and carriage of other fuels, black carbon (BC) emissions, and emissions of other air and climate pollutants for the year 2015, with projections to 2020 and 2025. —Comer et al.
Gas and diesel vehicle owners in cold climates face reduced mileage, frozen fluid lines, dead batteries, and long warm-up periods. Electric vehicles are popular in cold climates. Two of the largest EV markets in the world are Norway and Iceland. In Norway, EVs account for more than 90 percent of car sales.
For those hoping to avoid soaring temperatures, openings in cooler climates also offer seclusion. In late 2025, JetBlue will offer its first airport lounge in New York, at Kennedy International Airport, and in Philadelphia, American Airlines will open two lounges. Among the brights spots are international airfares, according to Kayak.
And the data that Peregrine will gather will help scientists to understand how these critical areas will respond to climate change. And as we try to understand how ice sheets are responding to new climate extremes, these processes are key. In the 1960s, as part of an international collaboration, a U.S.
Expanding this to the UK and the European Free Trade Association regions of Iceland, Norway and Switzerland, only five out of 31 countries enjoyed an increase in deliveries. Puzzling Petrol Petrol did not fare much better than its internal combustion engine (ICE) counterpart in August. million registrations. ‘The
In New Zealand’s fight against climate change, e-mobility is a low-hanging fruit, especially given our supply of renewable energy. . Moving to zero emissions vehicles, as the cliche goes, is the low hanging fruit in the fight against climate change. . We also don’t need to ‘reinvent the wheel’. New Zealand receives less than 0.17
Full members of the Arctic Council are Canada, Russia, the United States, Norway, Finland, Sweden, Iceland and Denmark (Greenland): the eight countries with Arctic territory. The Arctic Council is the only international organization that gives indigenous peoples a formal place at the table.
million in Carbon Recycling International (CRI). CRI, founded in 2006 in Reykjavik, Iceland, is developing technology to produce renewable methanol from clean energy and recycled CO 2 emissions. Zhejiang Geely Holding Group (Geely Group) will invest a total of US$45.5
With the increasing threat of climate change, renewable energy has slowly but surely regained is prominence. Iceland, Norway, Canada, Sweden, New Zealand, and Austria were the global leaders in hydroelectric as of 2019. The tectonic-plate-related power is generated most in Iceland, El Salvador, New Zealand, Kenya, and the Philippines.
Transport, including international aviation and maritime transport, accounts for around a quarter of total EU greenhouse gas emissions. Tags: Climate Change Emissions Europe Policy. Professor Jacqueline McGlade, Executive Director of EEA. Towards a resource-efficient transport system—TERM 2009.
A study by the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) found that EV production generates 50-100% more emissions than gasoline vehicle production, primarily due to battery manufacturing ( ICCT, 2021 ). Sources: International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT): Life-cycle emissions study U.S.
That’s around 16 times the GHG emissions of Iceland at that time, or the equivalent gas emissions of over 11 million vehicles in one year. The cold and rural climate proves that EVs and their batteries can thrive in less agreeable weather. Its greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) back in the 1990s were around 51.7 million tonnes per year.
Emissions of GHG have increased by 26% (EU-15) or 180 million tonnes between 1990 and 2006, excluding international aviation and marine transport—an amount larger than the entire annual national emissions for 2006 from Belgium (132 million tonnes) or Romania (157 million tonnes). TERM reports have been published since 2000.
Carbon Recycling International has been awarded a €1.8-million CRI developed the ETL technology to produce low-carbon intensity methanol from CO 2 and hydrogen and operates the first production facility of its kind in Iceland. million (US$2.0-million)
However, according to the World Resources Institute , “EVs need to account for 75 percent to 95 percent of passenger vehicle sales by 2030 in order to meet internationalclimate goals aimed at keeping global warming to 1.5 degrees C (2.7 degrees F).”
