The History of Carbon Dioxide Emissions

Credit to Author: World Resources Institute| Date: Thu, 06 Jun 2024 20:42:49 +0000

Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from human activities are now higher than at any point in our history. In fact, recent data reveals that global CO2 emissions were 182 times higher in 2022 than they were in 1850, around the time the industrial revolution was underway.1 How did we arrive at … [continued]

A technology developed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory works to keep food refrigerated with phase change materials, or PCMs, while reducing carbon emissions by 30%. More than 100 million household refrigerators in operation across the United States consume up to 2 kilowatts of electricity daily. These refrigerators contribute to energy … [continued]

Graph: U.S. Energy-Related CO2 Emissions Decreased by 3% in 2023

Credit to Author: US Energy Information Administration| Date: Wed, 01 May 2024 15:44:11 +0000

Based on analysis in our most recent U.S. Energy-Related Carbon Dioxide Emissions report, U.S. energy-related CO2 emissions decreased by 3%, about 134 million metric tons (MMmt), in 2023. Over 80% of the emissions reductions occurred in the electric power sector, caused largely by decreased coal-fired electricity generation, which was displaced by increased generation … [continued]
