ICCT: decline in diesel sales will have negligible impact on attainment of European CO2 emission standards

Green Car Congress

The combustion of 1 liter of diesel fuel produces approximately 11% more energy than gasoline fuel, but the diesel fuel also releases approximately 11% more CO2 due to its higher carbon content. In addition, vehicle manufacturers increasingly use electric motors to complement conventional combustion engines in cars.
