New Study Outlines Pathway to 76% Reduction in UK Transport Sector CO2 Emissions By 2050; Road Transport Becomes Carbon Neutral

Green Car Congress

A detailed analysis of policy pathways leading to such a decarbonised electricity supply in the UK is outside the scope of this study. In particular, the fiscal measures alone may render petrol/diesel powered vehicles prohibitively expensive compared with say, PEVs.

Emissions Analytics: mass adoption of hybrids, rather than low-volume BEVs most effective for cutting CO2 now, meeting 2030 targets; best use of limited resource

Green Car Congress

Some studies suggest the upstream CO 2 of electricity is greater than for gasoline, but the relative efficiency calculations here implicitly assume they are equal. The EU’s post-2021 CO2 reduction target for passenger cars is 37.5% Electrification has proved to be a promising path to reducing tailpipe emissions. Beyond the 37.5%
