Coal is supposed to be “phased down” except where the resulting carbon dioxide is removed and securely stored (which may or may not actually be feasible). Subsection (g) calls for accelerating use of zero emission vehicles (basically, electric cars and trucks), as well as public transportation. Non-CO2 greenhouse gases.

Success at COP28 is likely to be measured by the inclusion of strong fossil fuel phaseout language, free from loopholes, in the final agreement. By 2019, the largest growth in absolute emissions occurred in carbon dioxide from fossil fuels and industry. Global net anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions 1990–2019.

Earlier this month the International Energy Agency (IEA) released data showing that global carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions hit an all-time high in 2021, rebounding sharply from the 2020 decline caused by COVID-19 related economic slump. It’s clear we cannot continue to live this way, it will destroy our civilization.”.

Now, not only coal is spewing insane amounts of carbon dioxide – one kilogram per kilo-watt/hour on average – it is also now more expensive than wind, solar, and soon battery storage. As if this was not enough, the two Asian giants are also progressing on another part of the energy transition: electric vehicles.
