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. But for many of these use-cases, hydrogen doesn’t do the job particularly well, at least as compared to existing technology.

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.

We found that it’s definitely feasible and, what’s more, we can reap significant health and economic benefits by rapidly transitioning away from fossil fuels to clean energy. Overall economywide fossil fuel use falls 50% between 2021 and 2040 and 82% by 2050.  Coal is phased out of the power sector by 2030.

Burning coal in these two regions account for a little under two gigatonnes of carbon dioxide emissions per year, with 1.29 Burning coal emits twice as much carbon dioxide as natural gas and up to 50 times more than solar and wind in their entire lifecycles (manufacturing and recycling included). A moral imperative.

Image via PickPik On May 23, the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) proposed emission limits and guidelines for carbon dioxide from fossil fuel-powered plants. The IRA has made tax credits for CCS more accessible and generous , bolstering EPA’s case that the technology is adequately demonstrated and cost-effective.

By the 2000s, a Congressional hold on funding preventing work on fuel economy standards finally broke, and NHTSA staged the first increase in fuel economy in over two decades, requiring the SUVs and pickups that had exploded in sales to finally use less fuel. On the other hand, NHTSA doesn’t incentivize EVs so heavily.

As we now know, fossil fuel companies lied about it for decades to protect their profits. Now that there is a desperate need to slash global warming emissions worldwide to avoid the worst consequences of climate change, it is critical to rapidly phase out the use of all fossil fuels. What accounts for that?
