They’ve reached this interim goal in 2020, with a 52% reduction of GHG emissions from 2007 levels. (4) Energy Mix (2019): [link]. Carbon Reduction Goals: Net-zero carbon monoxide and methane emissions by 2050. For the recent expansion to include upstream and downstream emissions, see [link]. (5)

In 1963, a typical car—which ran on leaded gasoline without pollution control devices— emitted 520 pounds of hydrocarbons, 1,700 pounds of carbon monoxide, and 90 pounds of nitrogen oxide every 10,000 miles traveled. More than 20,000 Americans died prematurely in 2015 from tailpipe emissions, according to a 2019 study.

However, one of its most pressing current challenges is reducing the carbon emissions from transportation, a sector that is one of the highest contributors to greenhouse gases. In the US alone, the transportation sector contributed 29% of greenhouse gas emissions in 2019. Promotes sustainable transport.

US electricity sector emissions decreased 34 percent from 2005 to 2019, including an astonishing 10 percent in 2019, which is the largest year-on-year decline in history. Carbon emissions are thus following the same trajectory as other air pollutants.
