As I have spent some sleepless nights since the latest IPCC report on how Mankind has to halve its carbon emissions by 2030. As we shall see, this is already currently happening, it is the moral thing to do, the best economic choice, and the fastest and easiest way to halve our emissions.

The majority 6–3 decision sharply curtails the EPA’s authority to set standards based on a broad range of flexible options to cut carbon emissions from the power sector—options such as replacing polluting fossil fuels with cheap and widely available wind and solar power coupled with battery storage. carbon emissions today.

UCS modeled the impacts of reduced emissions on public health As part of our research in the new Accelerating Clean Energy Ambition report , UCS undertook analyses to study the impacts of reducing carbon emissions on public health. Combined with our total health benefits, we see huge savings when we reduce emissions.

The IRA and Net Zero scenarios also drive significant reductions in nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and fine particulate matter (PM2.5). In addition, the avoided climate damages from reduced carbon emissions, calculated using the social cost of carbon, exceed $400 billion by 2035 under the IRA Reference case and nearly $1.3

Electric trucks, on the other hand, emit no tailpipe emissions. That’s a whopping difference and closer to the type of progress we need to see in the transportation sector if we’re serious about reducing carbon emissions and air pollution.

The impact of the new rules goes beyond just lowering carbon emissions. The Air Resources Board estimates that between 2026 and 2040, the ACCII rules will eliminate 69,569 tons of nitrogen oxides and 4,469 tons of particulate matter (PM2.5) , leading to over 1,200 fewer cardiopulmonary deaths due to air pollution. .

Last month, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed new power plant carbon pollution standards that, if strengthened, would go a long way to help meet the Biden administration’s goal of slashing carbon emissions in half from 2005 levels by the end of this decade. EN: First, why are these new standards such a big deal?

The opportunities for carbon capture retrofits of all kinds abound in Pennsylvania. Industries and power plants rank the state fifth in the nation for total carbon emissions. It would also capture and bury methane emissions from the wells, part of the equation for reaching net-zero greenhouse gas emissions.

The SCC is a metric that seeks to capture all of the costs that emitting a ton of carbon dioxide (or equivalent amounts of other greenhouse gases such as methane) imposes on society by contributing to climate change over the hundreds of years it remains in the atmosphere.
