Achieving decarbonization in the transportation sector will be an enormous undertaking
♻️ Achieving decarbonization in the transportation sector will be an enormous undertaking.
Global temperatures have risen by 1.1 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels, leading to increased CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere not seen in millions of years. The United Nations report highlights that current emission reduction efforts are insufficient to limit global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius. The transportation sector, responsible for 38% of CO2 emissions in the United States, poses a significant challenge to decarbonization.
Toyota has released a study suggesting that electric vehicles (EVs) may not be necessary to significantly reduce carbon emissions.
