Background The Blueprint aims to reduce domestic aviation emissions [i] from airport operations by 20% from 2019 levels (404ktCO2) in 2030 and achieve net zero domestic and international aviation emissions by 2050. This facility would turn waste into feedstock to generate electricity or biofuel for use within the airport.

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. A great example is a biofuel.

Enacted in 2019, the CLCPA transformed the state’s earlier clean energy standard efforts from administrative fiat to law and sets more aggressive goals to reduce statewide greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions economy-wide to 60% from a 1990 baseline by 2030, and 15% from a 1990 baseline by 2050.

More than 20,000 Americans died prematurely in 2015 from tailpipe emissions, according to a 2019 study. Writ large, transportation is responsible for 29 percent of US carbon emissions—more than any other sector—and car and truck emissions today represent 81 percent of the US transportation sector’s global warming pollution.

By 2019, German household electricity prices were 45 percent higher than the European average. The good news is that recent and historical events show that economic growth can actually lower carbon emissions. Among some nations, including Britain, France, and Germany, even carbon emissions peaked in the mid-1970s.

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.
