  • Well‐to‐wheels analysis of greenhouse gas emissions for passenger vehicles in Middle East and North Africa

    Open AccessSharath Ankathi, Yu Gan et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2024

    Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) are widely considered a pathway to achieve low carbon mobility. BEVs emit zero emissions from the tailpipe, but their life cycle carbon reduction compared to gasoline vehicles varies based on primary energy sources, electricity generation, and use efficiency. The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is an area rich in fossil fuels, meriting a detailed comparison between the emissions from BEV and other power…

  • Greenhouse gas emissions embodied in the U.S. solar photovoltaic supply chain

    Open AccessYu Gan, Amgad Elgowainy et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2023

    Solar photovoltaic (PV) electricity is considered to be an important source of electricity generation in the quest for net-zero carbon emissions. However, the growth of solar electricity is creating both increased material demands and increased greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from silicon and PV manufacturing (also referred to as embodied GHG emissions of solar electricity). Here we analyze the silicon and solar PV supply chain for the United Stat…

  • Greenhouse gas emissions from the global transportation of crude oil

    Open AccessSharath Ankathi, Zifeng Lü et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2022

    Global crude‐oil transportation contributes a significant portion of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the marine transportation sector. In this work, we first compile a detailed country‐level global crude‐oil transportation network in 2018 and estimate that the direct and well‐to‐hull GHG emissions related to crude transportation were 97 and 109 million metric tons, respectively. Combining with the country‐specific crude recovery GHG intensities…

  • Diesel passenger vehicle shares influenced Covid-19 changes in urban nitrogen dioxide pollution

    Open AccessGaige Hunter Kerr, Daniel L Goldberg et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2022

    Diesel-powered vehicles emit several times more nitrogen oxides than comparable gasoline-powered vehicles, leading to ambient nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ) pollution and adverse health impacts. The COVID-19 pandemic and ensuing changes in emissions provide a natural experiment to test whether NO 2 reductions have been starker in regions of Europe with larger diesel passenger vehicle shares. Here we use a semi-empirical approach that combines in-situ N…

  • Urban NO x emissions around the world declined faster than anticipated between 2005 and 2019

    Open AccessDaniel L Goldberg, Susan C Anenberg et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021

    Emission inventory development for air pollutants, by compiling records from individual emission sources, takes many years and involves extensive multi-national effort. A complementary method to estimate air pollution emissions is in the use of satellite remote sensing. In this study, NO 2 observations from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument are combined with re-analysis meteorology to estimate urban nitrogen oxide (NO X ) emissions for 80 global ci…

  • Five hundred years of anthropogenic mercury

    Open AccessDavid G Streets, Hannah M Horowitz et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2019

    When released to the biosphere, mercury (Hg) is very mobile and can take millennia to be returned to a secure, long-term repository. Understanding where and when Hg was released as a result of human activities allows better quantification of present-day reemissions and future trajectories of environmental concentrations. In this work, we estimate the time-varying releases of Hg in seven world regions over the 500 year period, 1510–2010. By our es…

  • Historical (1750–2014) anthropogenic emissions of reactive gases and aerosols from the Community Emissions Data System (Ceds)

    Open AccessRachel Hoesly, Steven J Smith et al.ARTICLEGeoscientific Model Development2018

    We present a new data set of annual historical (1750–2014) anthropogenic chemically reactive gases (CO, CH4, NH3, NOx, SO2, NMVOCs), carbonaceous aerosols (black carbon – BC, and organic carbon – OC), and CO2 developed with the Community Emissions Data System (CEDS). We improve upon existing inventories with a more consistent and reproducible methodology applied to all emission species, updated emission factors, and recent estimates through 2014.…

  • Satellite detection and model verification of NO x emissions from power plants in Northern China

    Open AccessSiwen Wang, David G Streets et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2010

    We evaluate the recently increasing tropospheric NO2 columns in Northern China measured by the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) with an advanced power-plant NOx emission inventory and the NASA INTEX-B emission inventory, using a global chemical transport model (GEOS-Chem). In areas with newly built power plants the modeled and OMI-retrieved summertime average tropospheric NO2 columns increased by 55% and 47%, respectively, between 2005 and 2007.…
