Rob Jackson, Chair of the Global Carbon Project and Senior Fellow at the Woods Institute, dives into a critical discussion on methane emissions and their impact on climate change. In this episode of Redefining Energy - Tech, he outlines methane's potency, noting that it is 80-90 times more effective than CO2 at trapping heat during the first few decades after its release. Methane's role in climate change is not to be underestimated, especially since it makes up the majority of natural gas, which is often marketed as a "clean" fuel.Jackson raises concerns about methane emissions, particularly in household appliances like gas stoves. These appliances not only leak methane but also release other harmful pollutants, such as nitrogen dioxide and benzene, which pose significant health risks to vulnerable populations, including children and the elderly. He also discusses the widespread leakage that occurs throughout the natural gas supply chain, challenging the perception of natural gas as a clean energy source.The conversation shifts to the challenges of detecting methane emissions, particularly from oil and gas operations. Jackson highlights advancements in technology, such as satellites, drones, and helicopters, which are used to identify methane super-emitters —large, concentrated leaks of methane. However, pinpointing smaller leaks remains difficult. These advancements, though promising, still face limitations, particularly when it comes to smaller-scale emissions from agriculture or subtle leaks in oil fields.Jackson stresses the need for a comprehensive approach to methane detection. He calls for integrating multiple types of sensors at different scales to address the full scope of emissions. Despite the improvements in technology, methane emissions from various industries continue to be underestimated. The International Council on Clean Transportation's (ICCT) FUMES project, which found higher-than-expected methane emissions from liquefied natural gas (LNG) ships, and Shell's own internal discoveries of methane leaks from its operations, were part of the discussions.The episode concludes with a call to action, as Jackson emphasizes the necessity of reducing methane emissions by enhancing detection methods and accelerating the transition away from fossil fuels. He advocates for a multifaceted strategy to address climate change, one that considers not just methane but also the broader implications of fossil fuel reliance.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, your weekday newscast that brings you five major stories from the world of business. It's Thursday, May 23, 2024. My name is Nelson John. Let's get started.Indian benchmark equity indices closed higher on Wednesday, driven by positive cues from global markets and strong Q4 earnings reports from major companies. The Sensex climbed 267 points, closing 0.36% higher than the previous session. The Nifty remained relatively flat, gaining a modest 22 points.For decades, the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) have been a beacon of hope for millions of Indians aspiring to build a stable and strong career. However, this year, IITians are struggling to get placed. The anxiety at IITs is palpable, with hundreds of students from the 2024 batch still jobless even after the second round of placements. The traditional powerhouse of engineering talent is now casting a wider net, reaching out to startups, alumni, and exploring new industry segments to secure opportunities for its students. In particular, IIT Bombay reports that out of 1,973 students registered for placements, 1,387 have secured jobs in the first and second phases. Yet, 300 to 400 students are still searching for employment. To address this, the placement teams are proactively contacting previous recruiters and broadening their search to include companies offering lower starting salaries than before. The challenge is more acute this year due to several large IT firms scaling back campus hires, a direct consequence of the economic downturn which has tightened budgets and led to job cuts across sectors. The newer IITs are feeling the pinch as well, navigating their placement season with cautious optimism. Mint's careers correspondent Devina Sengupta, along with Pratishtha Bagai, report on a challenging placement season at the IITs.Amid a severe heatwave and unpredictable weather patterns, India is grappling with a rise in health issues such as heatstrokes and vector-borne diseases like dengue. In response, the health ministry has introduced an initiative that feels more necessary now than ever: including climate change in the medical curriculum. Medical students could soon be learning about climate change and its effects. The proposed course aims to prepare future medical professionals to better understand and tackle health challenges directly linked to climate fluctuations. Given the complexity of diagnosing conditions like heatstroke and managing emerging diseases like monkeypox, which are exacerbated by climate shifts, this educational update seems timely. Mint's health and pharma correspondent, Somitra Ghosh, reports on the proposed inclusion, which could help our healthcare professionals deal with climate change more efficiently.The Indian state has been in existence for close to 77 years, yet a basic necessity like clean water for all remains a challenge. The Jal Jeevan Mission, launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on August 15, 2019, aims to provide safe and adequate drinking water through individual household tap connections to all rural households by 2024. While it has made significant strides, achieving 76.6% coverage of the estimated 193 million rural households, it still faces the challenge of ensuring these facilities are fully functional and sustainable.The initiative has seen substantial uptake, with 11 states and Union territories reaching 100% coverage. However, states like West Bengal and Rajasthan lag, with less than half of rural households connected. The discrepancy often stems from variations in local implementation and reliance on state-level schemes. In the second instalment of a new Plain Facts series by Mint's data team, Shuja Asrar and Payal Bhattacharya examine the progress the Jal Jeevan Mission has made in rural parts of the country. Click on the link in the show notes to see the charts and interactive maps prepared by Shuja, Payal, and the data team.Indian carmakers are pushing back against new fuel efficiency standards proposed by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE). The BEE aims to align with Europe's stringent vehicle emission norms, targeting carbon emissions of about 70 grams per kilometre by 2030. Automakers argue that this target is too ambitious, given that gas-powered vehicles will likely remain dominant for the next decade despite ongoing electrification efforts. The BEE, advised by the U.S.-based International Council on Clean Transportation, is advocating for these strict standards to enhance carbon reduction efforts and accelerate the shift to electric vehicles. This would involve hefty penalties for carmakers that fail to comply. Mint's auto correspondent, Alisha Sachdev, spoke to industry insiders who warn that such stringent rules could drastically impact sales and jobs, as EV technology in India isn't as advanced as in Europe, and the charging infrastructure is still underdeveloped.Navigating generational differences at work has always been a challenge, but the gap seems to be widening. Today, companies are increasingly cautious about how they handle younger employees, especially those belonging to Generation Z, born between 1997 and 2012. These younger workers often bring a different perspective to the work environment, leading to tensions with older managers. The generational shift reflects broader changes in workplace dynamics. Companies are finding that traditional approaches may not resonate with younger workers, who value flexibility and personal well-being over conventional workplace rewards. The challenges extend beyond daily operations to strategic considerations. Many young professionals joined the workforce during the pandemic, missing out on traditional office bonding, and thus have a different view of workplace expectations. This shift has prompted some firms to link office attendance with appraisals to encourage a return to office settings.Moreover, younger workers are not shy about voicing their needs or moving on if those needs are unmet. For instance, they might prioritize sufficient holiday time over salary increases, reflecting a shift towards valuing experiences over material gains. Mint's Devina Sengupta takes a deep dive into the challenges and struggles associated with this generational divide in workplaces.We'd love to hear your feedback on this podcast.

In today's episode of the Sustainable Supply Chain podcast, I had the pleasure of chatting with Alex Scott, Associate Professor of Supply Chain Management at the University of Tennessee, who has spent over two decades threading the intricate maze of supply chain management. With a vibrant mix of industry experience and academic rigour, Alex dove into the heart of logistics sustainability – an area that's not just about ticking the green boxes but is rapidly reshaping the global supply chain landscape.We delved into how the COVID-19 pandemic has unexpectedly lifted the veil on the logistics sector, spotlighting it to an audience far beyond industry professionals. Interestingly, Alex's insights reveal a surge in student interest, which could herald a wave of innovation in sustainable supply chains.A highlight was our discussion on the Fleet Sustainability Index – a pioneering approach to gauging the environmental footprint of logistics operators. This tool could be a game-changer for logistics managers and companies striving to align with new regulations and their own net-zero commitments.Alex also emphasised the critical balance between data accuracy and practical utility in emissions modelling. It's a nuanced perspective that reminds us – while no model is perfect, the goal is to forge tools that are robust enough to drive meaningful action.Tune in to the full episode for a deeper dive into how sustainability and logistics intersect and the innovations shaping a cleaner, more accountable future.And don't forget to check out the video version of this episode at https://youtu.be/TyBDD0UkdrUSupport the showPodcast supportersI'd like to sincerely thank this podcast's generous supporters: Lorcan Sheehan Krishna Kumar Olivier Brusle Alicia Farag Joël VANDI Luis Olavarria Alvaro Aguilar And remember you too can Support the Podcast - it is really easy and hugely important as it will enable me to continue to create more excellent Digital Supply Chain episodes like this one.Podcast Sponsorship Opportunities:If you/your organisation is interested in sponsoring this podcast - I have several options available.

In this episode we talk to Hiske Arts, Campaigner at Fossil Free NL (Fossielvrij NL), a Dutch citizens' movement seeking to “break the power of the fossil fuel industry”. Arts voices her concerns about the aviation industry's contributions to the climate crisis and emphasises her scepticism about the aviation industry's genuine commitment to addressing climate concerns. The conversation delves into the concept of a “carbon budget” and the aviation industry's emissions, with Hiske arguing that the sector faces unique challenges to become sustainable. We also learn about the growth trajectory of the aviation sector, with much of the debate centring on the responsibility of developed nations versus developing nations in tackling emissions. Arts maintains that developed nations, due to their historical contributions to emissions, should take the lead in addressing climate change. This view is reflected in her stance on the aviation industry's growth aspirations; Arts believes that true sustainability cannot coexist with the current emphasis on continual growth. Please note: When talking about SBTi, Hiske mistakenly mentions that they delay emissions reductions until after 2030. What she meant to say was that SBTi targets are delaying steep emission reductions until after 2030.If you LOVED this episode, you'll also love the conversation we had with the International Council on Clean Transportation's (ICCT) Program Director, Dan Rutherford, who dives deep into the future of sustainable aviation and the trajectory airlines and governments need to follow to get to net-zero emissions..

The International Energy Agency last month held its first ever summit to discuss Critical Minerals and Clean Energy. It was attended by more than 50 countries, which came together to discuss ways to secure the critical minerals that are needed to make the transition to low-carbon energy.These metals, whether it's copper wiring or steel in a wind turbine or lithium in an EV battery, are in high demand, and this demand is only going to increase over the next decade. New mines for these metals can take a long time to construct. One solution to this problem that's been getting a lot of attention recently is sea-bed mining.It is a potentially significant new source of supply for some of these critical metals, but it's also highly controversial because of the damage it would do to deep water ocean ecosystems.On the Energy Gang this week, Ed Crooks is back in the host chair after a break, and joined by regular Amy Harder, Executive Editor of Cipher Magazine, the publication supported by Breakthrough Energy.Amy recently interviewed the Prime Minister of Norway, Jonas Gahr Støre, in New York, and she details the main takeaways from that conversation on the show today. Some Norwegian lawmakers have called for a 10-year delay to deep-sea mining plans, so that the environmental impacts of can be studied.Dr Melissa Lott, Director of Columbia University's Center On Global Energy Policy, is also on the show, and she outlines just what these environmental impacts are.The demand for critical minerals could necessitate offshore mining, but is it an essential step to take?Recycling is another option - a study from the International Council on Clean Transportation said that at the end of last year, US plants had the capacity to produce about 100,000 tons a year of recycled battery materials. Total capacity of the plants that have been announced is about 650,000 tons a year.Even that is still only enough for about 1.3 million EVs a year, which might be roughly the number that will be sold in the US this year. So as the market grows, we are going to need a lot more.Plus, the IEA published a report last week called the ‘Net Zero Roadmap', which was optimistic about global efforts to limit warming to 1.5 degrees. It said that achieving that goal is still possible, but how feasible is it?

As the industry leader in aviation analytics, Cirium assists the aviation industry in predicting future trends through its rich datasets that date back to 1947 and cover over 400,000 aircraft!In this episode, we talk to Jeremy Bowen, CEO at Cirium. He shares how the company is empowering the industry to reach a more sustainable future with the most accurate aircraft emissions data.Cirium has a wealth of data that airlines can use today. Their highly-accurate Global Aircraft Emissions Monitor is a valuable starting point for any airline that wants to seriously plan emissions reduction – and, eventually, hit net zero. After all, without the data to measure current baselines, any effort to go green will be a shot in the dark. We'll also learn about the complex data set underlying the emissions calculator; how Cirium ensures their data is transparent, independent of bias and validated; why the future of corporate travel may include carbon budgets; and how one company switched a large corporate travel account from one airline to another based on carbon efficiency considerations.If you LOVED this episode you'll also love the conversation we had with International Council on Clean Transportation's Dan Rutherford on the data behind sustainability and the trajectory airlines and governments need to follow to get to net-zero emissions.

In January of this year, the Biden administration published the The U.S. National Blueprint for Transportation Decarbonization, to surprisingly little fanfare. I agree it's not the sexiest title, but transportation is the single greatest driver of U.S greenhouse gas emissions – nearly 40% of our total, in fact. For our nation to meet the goal of a 50% emission reduction by 2030, Americans need to be able to get around carbon-free. Following this blueprint would transform not only how we as Americans travel, but also the layouts of our cities and towns, our lifestyles, and our entire economy. If we want to limit global warming to less than 2 degree Celsius and avoid some of the most catastrophic effects of climate change, we need to be paying attention to this.To discuss the implications of the National Blueprint, The Buzz is joined by Drew Kodjak, Executive Director of the International Council on Clean Transportation, or ICCT.Resources:U.S. National Blueprint for Transportation DecarbonizationMore from the ICCTSubscribe on your favorite podcast platform to never miss an episode!

2022 potentially marked a turning point for the U.S. electric vehicle (EV) market, with new EV car sales increasing by 65% over 2021 sales, and now accounting for nearly 6% of all new vehicle sales. (If EVs maintained a 65% annual growth rate, they would reach 100% of new vehicle sales in about 6 years.) But for medium and heavy duty vehicles, which produce an outsize share of U.S. transportation-related greenhouse gasses, the transition to zero-emissions vehicles is still trying to gain traction. In 2021, electric vehicles accounted for about 1% of bus sales, and about 0.1% of all truck sales.Battery electric vehicles could already replace about half of the freight trips completed each day in the U.S., so it is not technological readiness that is slowing EV adoption in the freight and large vehicle industry. Ray Minjares, Heavy-Duty Vehicles Program Director at the International Council on Clean Transportation, explains what is: the marketplace structure that dictates how freight vehicles are bought and sold. Ray sat down with Climate Now to examine how this marketplace works today, the policies and financing alternatives that could make zero-emission vehicles easier to adopt, and the climate and air quality impacts that would come with decarbonization of the trucking industry.Follow us on Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram.Contact us at contact@climatenow.comVisit our website for all of our content and sources for each episode.
Shaping Sustainable Places – Development and Construction of a Low-Carbon Built Environment
The transportation sector is one of the biggest contributors to global carbon emissions. But in our globalized economy, the need for safe, fast and reliable transportation isn't going away. Any path toward carbon neutrality has to include a strategy that enables people to move freely without compromising the environment. It needs to make transportation more accessible, efficient and sustainable. This episode features Emma Head, Technical Service Delivery Director at HS2; Alexander Ståhle, PhD Urban Design, CEOat Spacescape, Founder at Placetoplan; and Ståle Rød, Executive Vice President at Skanska Group. Each of these leaders describes ways they are working to make a positive impact on sustainable transportation:- Emma explains the HS2 project — a UK high-speed railway — and how it is connecting the UK, while decarbonizing transportation. - Alexander describes how smart urban design can both eliminate our reliance on fossil-fuel transportation and improve quality of life. - Ståle offers examples of technological innovations that can help decarbonize transportation infrastructure during its construction.Listen and subscribe to the podcast.Learn more at Foresight.* Between recording the interview and the launch of this episode, Ståle Rød moved from his position as CEO at Skanska Norge AS to become an Executive Vice President at Skanska Group.

As shipping grapples with its greenhouse gas emissions, industry stakeholders often point to the higher carbon content of low-sulphur fuels brought in to comply with the global IMO 2020 regulation three years ago. Green Seas talks to International Council on Clean Transportation researcher Bryan Comer about why the regulation didn't hike shipping's carbon emissions.
Harvey Gulf International Marine has tried a variety of strategies to tackle its carbon emissions. But for one vessel, the final piece of the net-zero puzzle was bio-LNG produced from swine waste.

Ins Flugzeug steigen, andere Länder bereisen und dem Klima dabei kein bisschen schaden... Wie schön wäre das denn?! Klimafreundlich(er) fliegen - ist das möglich? Das besprechen wir in dieser Folge von “Mission Klima - Lösungen für die Krise”. Es geht dabei um Wasserstoff- und E-Flugzeuge, um andere Flugrouten, die Kondensstreifen vermeiden würden (denn die sind mindestens genauso schädlich fürs Klima wie das CO2, das ein Flugzeug ausstößt!). Und es geht um eine wichtige Pilotanlage für E-Kerosin, also für synthetisch hergestellten Kraftstoff, in Hamburg. Die haben wir für euch besucht. Dieses E-Kerosin ist CO2-neutral und die Tanks müssen dafür nicht umgebaut werden - deshalb setzen zurzeit alle in der Luftfahrt auf diese Technologie.

Aviation represents 2-3% of global GHG emissions. If the aviation sector were a country, its emissions would rank around 6th in the world, somewhere between Japan and Germany. If you add the additional warming impacts of aircraft contrails and estimates are that aviation contributes something like 3.5% of total anthropogenic warming. It's also another one of those notoriously tough-to-abate sectors. Jet fuel (a.k.a. kerosene) is pretty magical. It has enabled the movement of people and the globalization of high-value goods. Sustainable aviation fuels, hydrogen, electrification, and electrofuels are all possible solutions -- but they all carry their own challenges. Dan Rutherford knows those challenges well. He's the Director of the aviation and maritime programs at the International Council on Clean Transportation. In this episode, Shayle talks to Dan about the pros and cons of these various tech pathways. They look at how these technologies could play out in the tight economics of airlines and who will bear those costs. They also examine the pressures on the industry to decarbonize, including consumer interest enabled by emerging low-carbon-travel search features. Finally, they peer into the future at the next generation of planes. Catalyst is supported by Atmos Financial.

It's a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too. AUDI SEES ELECTRIC CARS BECOMING AS PROFITABLE AS GAS-POWERED CARS WITHIN 2-3 YEARS - Audi CEO Markus Duesmann says that he sees electric cars becoming as profitable as gas-powered cars within the next two to three years. - Last month, the German premium automotive brand announced an acceleration of its electrification plans. - It included plans to produce their last internal combustion engine in 2033 (if people are still buying them by then), and a plan to only launch new vehicles that are electric by 2026. - A new report from Germany's Spiegel states that Audi CEO Markus Duesmann is currently expecting the brand's electric vehicles to become as profitable as its gas-powered vehicles within the next two to three years. It would imply that Audi's current electric lineup, the e-tron, e-tron Q4, and e-tron GT, are not as profitable as their gas-powered counterparts.

The new driving range of the Long Range Model 3, for example, is now 580km, whereas previously it was 657km. The Standard Range Plus, which was previously 508km, now says it can only drive 448km, and the Performance now says 567km where it once said 628km. - Tesla has (finally!) decided to use Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP) ratings, which have been in use since 2017 and are used to measure carbon emissions and energy consumption of vehicles. Previously, Tesla stated range figures developed using requirements developed under the Australian Design Rule 81/02 — Fuel Consumption Labelling for Light Vehicles), which was developed in line with the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) rating, before the WLTP was introduced. - Other carmakers in Australia that import electric vehicles, such as Hyundai (eg the Kona EV with 64kWh battery with 484km range), have been using WLTP for some time so it is good to see Tesla move in line with this.

The converted Fuso eCanter will be used for emission-free deliveries to cafés in Amsterdam's city centre. - the truck is 5.3 metres long and two metres wide, which makes it suitable for urban use. Empty, the vehicle weighs four tonnes. Two charging specifications are important for the beer transporter: The beer tank, manufactured by Duotank, can hold up to 3,000 litres, and the battery has a capacity of 82.8 kWh. - From the brewery in Den Bosch, a larger truck transports 200 hectolitres of beer (i.e. 20,000 litres) to the outskirts of Amsterdam. There, 30 hectolitres each are pumped into the two mini-tank beer trucks. These then supply around five cafés in the city centre before they have to refill with fresh beer on the outskirts again. Supplying the cafés with the large truck would not be possible even with an electric drive: to protect the quays and bridges, a maximum of 7.5 tonnes is allowed here.

The permanent-magnet motor delivers 129 kW (180 hp) via a single-gear transmission in the rear axle. A single charge gives the truck an effective operating range of more than 62 miles (100 km), which is ample for many urban delivery applications. - It sets off at 4am each day from Warburtons' Bolton bakery and delivers fresh bread to as many as 25 different customers, mainly in the central Manchester area. They range from large supermarkets to independent corner shops.

These standards will provide industry with guidance and drivers with a new clear definition of ‘fully accessible', ‘partially accessible' and ‘not accessible' public EV chargepoints. The design of public chargepoints is already carefully considered by operators. However, consistent standards are crucial for drivers to easily identify which chargepoints are suitable for their needs. This could range from adequate space between bollards, charging units being of a height suitable for wheelchair users, size of the parking bay and the kerb height. · Highlighted Source : https://share.getliner.com/oojoL/ · Original Source : https://www.gov.uk/government/news/uk-government-partners-with-disability-charity-to-set-standards-for-electric-vehicle-chargepoints SOLARWATT FLEXES MUSCLES IN HOME ENERGY STORAGE FIGHT WITH SHELL, TESLA - Germany's Solarwatt, backed by BMW's billionaire shareholder Stefan Quandt, plans to launch a small module that lets homeowners link rooftop solar panels to power storage batteries and electric vehicles to cut costs. The wallbox allows home owners to control when and how much home-produced photovoltaics (PV) power they store, use to charge their electric vehicles (EVs), or sell to the grid. - The Manager Flex device, which looks like a wifi router and will go on sale at around 500 euros ($594), allows the integration of energy flows and gadgets at home, such as rooftop panels, batteries, electric heat pumps and EV-charging boxes. - Solarwatt, also active in France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Britain and Australia, aims to be a top five player by the end of 2022 - Germany is an obvious starting point. With 300,000 stationary batteries, it is the world's top home storage market, ahead of the United States, Japan and Australia. - "The ramp-up of EV sales will directly induce a corresponding run on smart energy products in the household sphere," said PricewaterhouseCoopers partner Steffen Apfel.Sonnen's CEO Oliver Koch said EVs are driving demand for the company's PV systems and batteries: "A third of buyers (of those segments) add a charging device for their EV," he said. - EV makers have started exploring links between EVs and home power circuits, to morph home and car electricity into one, and between EVs and grids, to offer stability services and recycle used batteries.

On this episode, hosts Peter Ravella and Tyler Buckingham are joined by guest host Taylor Goelz (host of ASPN's Ocean Decade Show! and Program Manager of the Shipping Decarbonization Initiative at The Aspen Institute) to discuss the exciting future trends of maritime shipping decarbonization. Joining the show is Bryan Comer, the Marine Program Lead at The International Council on Clean Transportation. The conversation covers why it is important to decarbonize maritime shipping and how can it be done, and well as covering the legal and regulatory framework that governs maritime transportation. They also discuss new technologies that are being used and developed such as hydrogen and sail, as well as failures, such as the rapidly growing number of ships are being fitted with exhaust gas cleaning systems, or “scrubbers,” as a way to comply with the International Maritime Organization's (IMO) 2020 global fuel sulfur limit. Scrubbers remove sulfur from ship exhaust by spraying a buffer solution, usually seawater, over it and then discharging the washwater overboard, often without treatment. The washwater is more acidic than the surrounding seawater and contains polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, particulate matter, nitrates, nitrites, and heavy metals including nickel, lead, copper, and mercury. Scrubber washwater is toxic to some marine organisms, harms others, and can worsen water quality. Note: Since this show was recorded, the IMO conducted meetings that were disappointing once again. The short term measures for reducing emissions can actually lead to increases in emission and lack any sort of enforcement. Proposals for medium term measures were "punted" to the fall, so stay tuned to future episode as we follow this issue and the IMO's actions.
We welcome PA Senator Bob Mensch (24th District) to discuss the Pennsylvania Clean Transportation Infrastructure Bill that aims to spur the development of electric, natural gas and hydrogen vehicles by developing the transportation infrastructure to support them. The proposed bill contains provisions for: • Establishing a state goal of increasing electrification by at least 50 percent by 2030; • Requiring the development of regional electrification infrastructure frameworks for metropolitan areas; • Directing electric utilities to develop infrastructure implementation plans to support the development of these networks under Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission oversight.

To realize the goals of the Paris Agreement, it’s estimated the US needs to transition 20% of vehicles to clean technologies by the end of this decade. That’s about 55 million cars based on the number of cars in the US as of 2018. As of 2019, 1.4 million electric vehicles had been sold in the US, and the US has about 84,000 public chargers. Understanding how many new EVs the US might have on the road by the end of the decade, how and where those vehicles might charge in order to estimate what the public charging network should look like, and identifying how much it would cost to build that public charging network are all things we should already know today in order to achieve them in 9 years. In this episode, we take a look at climate-related activities in the early moments of the Biden Administration and discuss the backdrop for President Biden’s plans to expand electric vehicle adoption in the US and build the infrastructure necessary to support that growth.
The transport sector accounts for at least 22percent of all global related carbon dioxide emissions according to the International Council on Clean Transportation. In Africa, it accounts for 40 percent of these emissions. Can solar powered three wheeler bicycles help reduce emissions?
A webcast on the latest trends in renewable energy, energy storage, and electrification. In April 2019, renewable energy provided 23 percent of U.S. power generation. Coal, on the other hand, accounted for just 20 percent. This marked the first time in U.S. history that renewables had outpaced coal’s share of the market. Driving the expansion of renewable energy has been a combination of falling costs, breakthroughs in energy storage, and public demand and incentives for greener energy sources. As the transition towards renewable energy accelerates, questions remain about the best path forward—particularly as these technologies come with costs of their own. Please join us as we explore trends in renewable energy, energy storage, and electrification. Featuring: Mark L.

International Council on Clean Transportation chief Drew Kodjak on the need for the world’s car manufacturers to catch up with Tesla, and why Australia should - at the very least - introduce fuel economy standards.
What is Flygskam?Flygskam is a Swedish neologism, which literally translates into English as “flight shame”. Confronted with the high level of pollution generated by this form of transport, more and more people are ashamed of travelling by plane. Some are even going as far as boycotting it as a means of transport, a trend which is of course of concern to airlines and plane manufacturers. The word originated in Sweden in 2017, but really entered the mainstream in the English-speaking world a couple of years later. That was largely due to the growing fame and speeches of Greta Thunberg. This shame of travelling by air comes from growing awareness of environmental issues. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change estimates that aviation is responsible for 3.5% of global climate change. They estimate that figure could grow to 5 - 15% by 2050, if action isn’t taken to cut emissions.It’s the wealthy who contribute the most towards air pollution. According to a study by non profit organization The International Council on Clean Transportation, 12% of the American population account for two-thirds of total flights out of the USA. These frequent flyers average 6 or more return journeys per year. Of course, that means they are also responsible for two thirds of the resulting greenhouse gas emissions. Some governments have taken action already, by bringing taxes on kerosene, one of the main aviation fuels. In the European Union, kerosene is currently exempt from taxation but activists are campaigning to revoke that agreement. In the meantime, another solution is to not take the plane at all, opting for shorter-distance journeys which can be made by train. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

As great strides are made in developing vehicles that have fewer emissions and are more energy efficient, it’s important to also ensure that the processes to extract energy sources is equally clean. The motor fuels that power today’s vehicles are as clean and as uniform as they ever have been. But, that’s not the case once you go further “upstream.” Today’s global oil supply chain is undergoing rapid a transformation, as inexpensive and easily accessed oil reservoirs are drying up, forcing major industry players to locate, extract, and refine ever-riskier, costlier and dirtier sources of oil. The new report, “Fueling a Clean Transportation Future,” looks at the issues facing the oil industry and what we can do to ensure what oil we do use doesn’t get dirtier.
