Their study examined the carbon dioxide and methane emissions from these companies’ products, as well as from the extraction and production processes of the largest gas, oil and coal producers and cement manufacturers. Data on the major carbon producers’ emissions have been published since 2014.

With the clean energy transition already under way, the US electricity mix is set to continue changing this year. Solar power is expected to make up about half of all additions of US electric generating capacity in 2023, according to data from the US Energy Information Administration (EIA). I’ll start off with the good.

Sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ) and nitrogen oxides (NO x ) emissions from power plants in USCA states fall 88 and 77 percent respectively by 2040, compared with 27 and 18 percent under current policies and plans. Just as important, cleaning up the power grid can also decrease carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions.

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. Aging plants and state clean energy goals are certainly helping that trend. We need a just transition It won’t be an easy transition to turn down the gas.

But with the recent influx of government incentives for hydrogen production, new and improving production and storage technologies, and greater political will than ever before, H 2 ’s reputation is gaining favor. All this is not to say there is no place for hydrogen in a clean energy future.

The rule, which also applies to new gas plants, would avoid as much as 617 million metric tons of carbon dioxide through 2042, the EPA calculated , the equivalent of the annual emissions of 137 million passenger vehicles—about half of the cars in the country. Those currently operating fossil fuel plants generate 25 percent of U.S.

Although there’s a broad consensus on the science of climate change, that’s not the case with politics. Capturing carbon is a must. Countries will also have to extract carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to keep global warming in check. The IPCC said 1.5 degrees required hitting net-zero CO2 by 2050-2055.
