Decarbonizing the Transportation Sector with E-mobility |
It's no secret that transportation is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs). In fact, according to the US Environmental Protection Agency, transportation accounts for 29% of US GHGs, the most from any sector. The good news is that there are a number of trends that are helping to decarbonize the transportation sector. One of the most promising of these trends is the rise of electric vehicles (EVs) and other e-mobility options, like electric 2 and 3-wheelers. The rapid increase of EVs, electric bikes, and other e-mobility transit options are important trends for cities in order to decarbonize transportation and reach net zero goals...
Electric Vehicle (EV) Infrastructure | What will be done to develop electric vehicle infrastructure? EV charging stations must be developed to be abundant in some cities, and ubiquitous in most vehicle-heavy cities worldwide. With internal combustion engine (ICE) phase-outs beginning to be implemented in world cities, there is a much greater need to have gas stations updated and/ or replaced...
Effective waste management strategies for cities include citywide recycling programs, circular economy strategies, zero-waste strategies, as well as waste-to-energy programs. The global scientific community agrees that we must make an effort now on actionable climate priorities as simple as recycling, and also invest in waste-to-energy...
Onshore wind farms now provide the least expensive form of energy of ANY energy source, renewable or non-renewable. Breakthroughs in wind turbines continue to drive down the costs of building wind farms, and make wind turbines more efficient and larger for onshore and offshore wind farms (for example, the 12MW GE Haliade-X)...
