MARCH 18, 2017

Global energy-related carbon dioxide emissions were flat for a third straight year in 2016 even as the global economy grew, according to the International Energy Agency. Global emissions from the energy sector stood at 32.1 In China, emissions fell by 1% last year, as coal demand declined while the economy expanded by 6.7%.

IEA: time to tap into hydrogen’s potential to play a key role in a clean, secure and affordable energy future

Green Car Congress

JUNE 15, 2019

A wide variety of fuels are able to produce hydrogen, including renewables, nuclear, natural gas, coal and oil. Today, hydrogen is already being used on an industrial scale, but it is almost entirely supplied from natural gas and coal. That’s the equivalent of the annual carbon emissions of the United Kingdom and Indonesia combined.
