Forecasting US CO2 Emissions Using State-Level DataRalf SteinhauserMaximilian Auffhammer
Carbon dioxide emissions from electricity generation are a major cause of anthropogenic climate change. The deployment of wind and solar power reduces these emissions, but is subject to the variability of the weather. In the present study, we calculate t
reported CO2 emissions in California from the electric power sector rose by 13 mmt in 2012, or 50% (Figure 5). It’s important to note that California gets roughly one third of its electricity from out of state, the emissions from which are reported in the state in which the generation ...
The US Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Power Plan has faced a hostile reception in recent weeks, as state legislatures and industry representatives line up a suite of legal challenges to the new carbon-cutting regulations. The plan, finalised on 23 October, mandates that US states must ...
Iowa (by 443 lbs of CO2/MWh) Kansas (by 371 lbs of CO2/MWh) Oklahoma (by 348 lbs of CO2/MWh) In Tennessee, the share of in-state generation from nuclear and natural gas-fired plants increased as the share of coal-fired generation declined. In Maryland, natural ...
The study shows that the US benefits from a trade surplus of environmental costs by importing energy-intensive and pollution-intensive products from China, which increases China’s environmental pollution and abatement costs. In 2017, 288 Mt CO2 emissions were associated with products produced in ...
ABB Building Automation & Controls announces the grand opening of a new state-of-the-art training facility in Lake Mary, Florida. The facility, located just 20 miles north of Orlando, provides hands-on, in-person training for HVAC building automation and controls professionals.Our expert-led tra...
CO2and co-pollutant emissions from the electricity sector (see the breakdown of emissions by technology in SI Figs.S-3–S-6). Therefore, by phasing out coal and natural gas plants, emissions from co-pollutants like NOx, SO2, and PM2.5also fall significantly, with NOxlevels at or below ...
“The Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing by TOMS King reminds us that small businesses, including restaurants and hotels, continue to suffer long-term impacts from COVID-19 and an overall uncertain economic environment with high inflation and labor shortages. As President Biden noted in his State of the...
This could include additional state-level action, whichcould yieldan additional 4 percentage points of emissions savings by 2030. Added to the “Biden” pathway, this would take US emissions to 47% below 2005 levels – closer to, but still not in line with the 2030 pledge. ...
