Fossil gas is mostly made up of a greenhouse gas called methane which is more potent than carbon dioxide and is responsible for about 30 per cent of the rise in global temperatures. Fossil gas is bad for our health Gas plants emit nitrogen oxides which increase smog and can cause respiratory problems for people living nearby.

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.

Hydrogen can be used for medium-to-long-term energy storage, heat and power generation, and transportation. This is partly because hydrogen production is energy inefficient and––when derived from fossil fuels––still a significant source of carbon emissions. In the abstract, the use-cases for hydrogen are broad.

Compared to a baseline business-as-usual scenario, CARB estimates the ACF will reduce climate-warming emissions from the state’s truck fleet by more than 40 percent by 2050, equating to a reduction of about 300 million metric tons of carbon dioxide over this timeframe. There are more than 1.8 pollution from vehicles.

Electricity use grows 31% between 2021 and 2030 and more than triples by 2050 primarily due to increased electrification of transportation, buildings, and industry. The IRA and Net Zero scenarios also drive significant reductions in nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and fine particulate matter (PM2.5).

Capturing carbon is a must. Countries will also have to extract carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to keep global warming in check. The scientists said actions taken at the individual level could “rapidly” cut emissions from the residential, commercial, industrial and transport sectors — which dominate global emissions.
