Carbon-reduction plans, if not well designed, can worsen water scarcity and pollution. Plans to reduce carbon emissions should take water into account. Some low-carbon energy options require significant amounts of water. But other low-carbon technologies do not tread as lightly. Carl Ganter/Circle of Blue.

A quarter of carbon emissions from transportation come from heavy-duty trucks. Addressing these emissions will be challenging and will require a multi-prong strategy. California and fourteen other states plan to make 30% of new heavy-duty truck sales zero emission by 2030. Another option would not require new technology.

The CI is determined through a lifecycle analysis of the global warming pollution associated with the production and use of gasoline, diesel, biofuels, electricity, or other alternative fuels. California may seem like an unlikely driver of deforestation from soybean and palm oil biofuels. LCFS credit generation.

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 emissionsâmore than any other sectorâand car and truck emissions today represent 81 percent of the US transportation sectorâs global warming pollution.

Meanwhile, annual reports show corporations are pushing ahead with plans to expand production, betting on new technologies to somehow make it all okay in the future. Further, these efforts are focused on carbon capture and storage, hydrogen, and biofuelsâtechnologies that aim to stash carbon emissions away, not reduce their production.
