  • Transport has a severe emission challenge, its share of overall emissions grows from 25% today to 30% by 2050 as large part of the transport system will remain fossil fuel dependent.
  • Transport of passengers and goods currently accounts for about a quarter of global energy-related CO2 emissions and will grow to 30% by 2050.
  • Maritime sector energy mix will comprise 50% low- and zero carbon fuels in 2050.
  • Oil has staying power in aviation and maritime. Strong...

The world’s top 1% of emitters produce over 1000 times more CO2 than the bottom 1%, states a IEA news source.

CO2 emissions are highly unequal across income groups and regions

Wealth, energy use, and the consumption of goods and services are unevenly distributed across the world. Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are no exception. Emissions vary across countries and across generations, but even more so across income groups.

This commentary is part of the IEA’s...

Carrier preparing for the future with green efforts today

The modern day sustainability movement in the U.S. actually began as early as the 1970s with the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency and the enactment of notable legislation by the U.S. government. 

In the early years, much of the EPA’s focus was on reducing pollution and improving air quality, working primarily within the power generation segment. Since 1990, the greenhouse gas emissions from electric power have decreased roughly 21%, thanks in part to greener energy sources and...
