2 · It refers to removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, while carbon capture and use or storage (CCUS) captures carbon from burning fossil fuels, which doesn''t directly reduce atmospheric carbon levels. Carbon removal can either happen via nature-based solutions or tech-based solutions – or a combination of both.

1. Introduction. Significant carbon emissions have long been a challenge for cities due to the high dependence of transportation on fossil fuels and a car-dependent lifestyle (Sloman and Hopkinson, 2020).Many global cities have introduced a variety of policies to promote sustainable transportation to reduce carbon emissions in cities and …
: In 2019 the United States "led the world" in reducing carbon dioxide emissions.
Ted Halstead. Concrete is the second most-used substance on Earth (behind water), and it''s responsible for eight percent of the world''s carbon footprint.

The study on energy consumption and carbon emission of the tourism industry has been a hot topic for scholars in recent years. In particular, the measurement of the carbon emission of the tourism industry has been a key research topic in the field of tourism, as the tourism industry is closely related to many industries and is difficult to be …
First, there are spatial spillover effects of EV adoption on CO 2 emissions, implying that the CO 2 mitigation of a city depends on local sales of EVs and sales of EVs in neighboring cities. A 1% increase in the sale of EVs in a city can reduce CO 2 emissions locally by 0.096% and by 0.087% in a nearby city. Second, EVs indirectly impact CO 2 ...
