How much CO2 can electric cars really save compared to diesel and petrol cars? To answer this question, we have developed a tool (see below) that compiles all the most up-to-date data on CO2 emissions linked to the use of an electric, diesel or petrol car. Originally published on Transport & Environment.

In an optimal location, a plant of this size has the potential to convert 150,000 tonnes of waste CO2 into 25 million gallons of ethanol or 15 million gallons of diesel per year with no reliance on arable land, crops or fresh water. This will lead to the longer-term build-out of a 1,000-acre plant to begin in 2017.

The Electric Vehicle Council is calling for EV incentives to be linked to fuel efficiency standards as it ramps up its pressure on the Federal Government to introduce CO2 emissions standards. CO2 standards are key to that, according to Jafari. “We The key to any CO2 standards lies with the Federal Government.
