Global CO2 emissions from fossil fuels reached a record high in 2024 at 37.4 billion tonnes, up 0.8% from 2023, according to the Global Carbon Project. Despite progress in renewables and climate efforts, fossil fuel use has not yet peaked, raising concerns about reaching global warming limits. With 41.6 billion tonnes of CO2 projected overall, scientists stress immediate and deep emission cuts to meet climate targets and prevent further warming. Key regions show mixed trends, with India’s emissions up 4.6% and the EU’s emissions down 3.8%.

India accounts for per cent of the global total carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, and it is expected to increase by 4.6 per cent in 2024, according to a new report released on Wednesday, ahead of the UN climate conference in Baku, Azerbaijan.

Yachting Pages https://yachting-pages.com/are proud to announce that they are now a Carbon Neutral business. A partnership with Yacht Carbon Offset has paid for the Carbon Credits to offset their own carbon footprint.

Saving the planet from climate change with a grain of sandToronto, ON – Every year, humans advance climate change and global warming – and quite likely our own eventual extinction – by injecting about 30 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO₂) into the atmosphere. A team of scientists from the University of Toronto (U of T) […]

The company cites a study where its Fillbee reusable packaging cut CO₂ emissions by nearly two-thirds compared to conventional beverage packaging.

The bulk of these emissions are from burning coal, oil and gas. Those emissions would total 37.4 billion tons in 2024, up by 0.8% in 2023, the report said.

An annual accounting of CO2 emissions from burning fossil fuels and land use change finds no sign emissions will peak this year

BAKU — Global carbon dioxide emissions, including those from burning fossil fuels, are set to hit a record high this year, pulling the world further off course from averting more destructive climate extremes, scientists said on Wednesday (Nov 13). The Global Carbon Budget report, published during the UN's COP29 climate summit in Azerbaijan, said global CO2 emissions are set to total 41.6 billion metric tons in 2024, up from 40.6 billion tons last year. The bulk of these emissions are from burning coal, oil and gas. Those emissions would total 37.4 billion tons in 2024, up by 0.8 per cent in 2023, the report said. The rest are from land use, a category that includes deforestation and forest fires. The report by more than 80 institutions was led by the University of Exeter in UK. "We don't see a sign of fossil fuel emissions peaking in 2024," said lead author Pierre Friedlingstein, a climate scientist at the University of Exeter. Without immediate and steep emissions cuts worldwide, "we will just go straight into the 1.5C target, we'll just pass it and continue," he said.

The study by Delhi-based independent think tank Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW) said policies for India's power, residential and transport sectors have already saved 440 million tonnes of carbon dioxide (MtCO2) between 2015 and 2020.

A new study by European researchers highlights the important contribution of greenhouse gases (GHGs) other than carbon dioxide to climate change and suggests policy measures to help reduce their impact. The study provides improved estimates of the current GHG balance of Europe, taking nitrous oxide and methane into account.

Technological advances in European cement production could reduce energy consumption by up to 10% and CO2 emissions by 4%, according to a new analysis. The research suggests that initial costs of some of the pending technological improvements could be recouped in as little as a year.

The benefits of CO₂ cuts made now, such as avoided floods and droughts, will be felt within the lifetimes of most people alive today, new research indicates. The study’s authors say their work dispels myths that the main effects of CO₂ emissions will not be felt for many decades. They estimate that it could take 10 years for the maximum warming effects of a one-off CO₂ emission to occur.

A new method of processing food waste into fertiliser has been outlined in a recent study. The process uses a digester system with microorganisms to break down organic waste into fertiliser. The resultant fertiliser was used in a low-energy greenhouse to produce a range of food crops. The method is a potential way to utilise food waste and reduce the energy consumption of food production as part of a circular economy.

Emissions of sulphur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) have fallen significantly across Europe since 1960. According to recent research, this is caused by a combination of factors including improved energy efficiency, a changing fuel mix and specific emission control measures. At the same time CO₂ emissions have only increased moderately, mainly due to improvements in energy efficiency.

A new UK study suggests that there are associations between obesity, physical activity, and levels of CO2 emissions from transport. These associations seem mostly to reflect the fact that obese people tend to travel longer distances by motorised forms of travel. They may also partly reflect less ‘active travel’ by bicycle or walking by obese people.

Speed constraints for aircraft are put in place, at some airports, to minimise noise pollution in local areas, however, such practices can be very fuel-inefficient. New research has now shown that relaxing departure speed limits could substantially reduce CO2 emissions, while maintaining acceptable noise levels.

Energy-related CO2 emissions will be 7 percent lower than their 2005 level of nearly 6 billion metric tons in 2020, according to new government data.

Humanity is not only moving too slowly in curbing CO2 emissions — we're moving the wrong direction.

･ Supporting an energy management system with low-CO2 distributed power generation and self-consignment ･ Switch to CO2-free hydrogen fuel planned for the future

The present invention relates to a method for producing hydrogen, with reduced carbon dioxide emissions, from a hydrocarbon mixture. In said method, the hydrocarbon mixture is reformed so as to produce a synthetic gas that is cooled, then treated in a shift reactor so as to be enriched with H2 and CO2. Optionally dried, said mixture is treated in a PSA hydrogen purification unit in order to produce hydrogen. The residue is treated by means of partial condensation with a view to capturing CO4 before said residue is sent as fuel to reforming.

China produces a whole lot of stuff -- stuff that gets bought by the rest of the world. In 2019, China exported approximately $2.5 trillion dollars worth of goods.

There's finally momentum on the international stage. And this is one of the most ambitious announcements yet.

Drying clothes uses an incredible amount of energy, it's clearly a low-hanging fruit for conservation and energy efficiency efforts.

Yes, in theory. Doing it in practice is a whole other story. This is another example of how the hydrogen economy is a fantasy.

We have to use less of the stuff in our cars, our buildings, and our infrastructure.

Not by a long shot, but the answer is still interesting.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) released updated projections of future U.S. energy production and use in its Annual Energy Outlook 2020 (AEO2020) today.

It is reported that British Airways churned out an extra 18,000 tonnes of CO2 last year by carrying extra fuel on its aircraft in an industry-wide practice known as 'fuel tankering'.
