2026 Carbon Dioxide Fossil Fuels 
A Greener Life
SEPTEMBER 9, 2022
of the world’s total carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel combustion, many airlines are considering carbon-capture-and-storage technologies and electric-powered planes. In April, Air Canada committed to investing $50 million in SAFs and other carbon-reducing technologies.

This framework includes a multi-jurisdictional cap-and-invest program, under which certain fuel suppliers will be required to acquire compliance instruments called “allowances” to cover carbon dioxide emissions from specified fuels (i.e., fossil-based gasoline and diesel).

Recent findings from the World Meteorological Organization predict a 50:50 chance at least one year between 2022 and 2026 will exceed 1.5°C Based on the lifetime of currently operating fossil fuel power plants and planned plants, it is highly likely global warming will exceed 1.5°C Image originally featured on eia.gov.

However, unlike the energy sector, where renewable energy sources, reduced consumption and increased energy efficiency offer clear alternatives to today’s heavy reliance on fossil fuels, decarbonizing the industrial sector presents a more complex challenge.

As we consider the known and well-researched health risks from fossil fuel pollution impacting our children and neighbors, as well as the recent PJM cost and reliability concerns, we question whether this is the right path toward the affordable, reliable, and clean energy grid that Pennsylvania needs.

A recent National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) study shows that it would take less than 1 percent of the land in the Lower 48—that’s an area comparable to or even smaller than the fossil fuel industry’s current footprint. NREL found that total US transmission capacity would have to increase by 1.3 times current levels by 2035.

We need more electricity to transition our homes and cars off fossil fuels, but we can’t afford to let that electricity come from more gas power plants. Over the year, those plants emitted 661 million metric tons of carbon dioxide, more than 13% of the US’s energy-related carbon dioxide emissions.
