Supportive policies and cost reductions will cause significant growth of electric cars in 2030, according to a new report. To reduce pressure on the environment, many countries have taken various measures to improve CO2 emissions standards. Although they use batteries rather than petrol and diesel ...
根据 “Choosing the two-wheeled(两轮的) over a car just once a day can reduce a person’s transportation carbon emissions(排放) by 67 percent, according to a University of Oxford study.”可知,第二段 主要介绍了联合国通过决议支持自行车作为应对气候变化工具,所以最佳标题是 “两轮解决方案” ,故...
Brussels - Findings from safety checks conducted on 52 400 cars in 15 EU countries in 2009 show that 81 percent of motorists are driving on under-inflated tyres. This habit is leading to the annual equivalent of 4.0 billion litres of wasted fuel, worth euro 5.2 billion, and 9.3 million ...
A study by the University of Manchester calculated the emissions of CO2---the main greenhouse gas responsible for climate change---at every stage of microwaves, from manufacture to waste disposal. “It is electricity consumption by microwaves that has the biggest impact on the environment,” say...
For one month we recorded our personal emissions of CO2. . We wanted to see how much we could cut back so we went on a strict diet. The average US household(家庭)produces about 150 pounds of CO2 a day by doing common-place things like turning on air-conditioning or driving cars. ...

for instance from windpower or hydropower, the car has almost no climate impact and produces no local emissions. This in combination with the superior energy-efficiency of an electric motor compared with a combustion engine suggests that electric cars are all set to become increasingly common in ...
The targeted 50 percent reduction achieved ahead of plan will amount to approximately 175 kilo tonnes of CO2e per year, equivalent to removing over 35,000 passenger cars off the road. Hitachi Energy has also switched to green tariffs, bought Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs), and signed Powe...
he had challenged readers to make deep cuts in personal emissions to keep the world from reaching extremely important tipping points, such as the melting(融化)of the ice sheets in Greenland or West Antarctica.“To stay below that point, we need to reduce CO2 emissions by 80 percent,”he sa...
