NEW: Electric cars are expected to reach up to 24% market share in 2025, giving carmakers a clear path to comply with EU clean car rules, new T&E analysis shows. While some manufacturers call for flexibility over their CO2 targets, forecasting suggests that BEVs will contribute 60%, on average, of the CO2 reduction that carmakers need to achieve for the EU emissions targets next year. Modelling based on sales in the first half of 2024 and sales forecasts shows an expected rapid growth in EV sales over the next year. This will be partly driven by seven new fully electric models under €25,000 which have arrived or are coming on the market in 2024 and 2025. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen confirmed in July that the zero-emissions car target will go ahead in 2035. Last week the German government ruled out watering down the 2025 target. It’s time for carmakers to go all in on BEVs, while EU and national lawmakers should do more to support EV demand with policies such as corporate fleet targets, charging masterplans and social leasing schemes.

The EU Commission rightly points out that the car industry has had years to prepare for its climate targets. Now carmakers want the EU to declare a state of emergency so they can continue selling dirty cars and making large profits.

T&E's Krisztina Hencz (Toth) is at the ICAO Symposium in Montreal this week where the aviation industry and its stakeholders have gathered to discuss the growing problem of contrails and non-CO2 emissions. No more delays. It's time for global action to addressing the dangerous and overlooked warming caused by contrails, NOx and other non-CO2 effects.
It’s been 25 years since the IPCC’s report made it clear that #non-CO2 #emissions are a major contributor to #aviation’s #climate impact, accounting for 2/3 of the sector’s total warming effect. And yet, it is only now that a dedicated global event is organized. This week I’m at the #ICAO Symposium in Montreal where leaders are finally recognising the magnitude of this problem. While the event is a long-overdue step, it underscores how slowly we’ve moved on a problem we’ve known about for decades. Bringing together experts from academia, industry, and policy is vital, but discussions alone won’t cut it. We need concrete regulations to address the warming caused by contrails, NOx, and other non-CO2 effects that have been sidelined for too long. Moreover, we can’t afford to wait for global consensus - that could take years. And unfortunately we don’t have this time. Regional action is key. Europe, North America, and other regions should lead with ambitious initiatives to reduce non-CO2 emissions, pushing the global aviation industry to follow. The science has been clear for 25 years, the time for talking is over—it’s time to act.

The UK could raise an additional £6bn a year by charging a tax on jet fuel at the same rate that British drivers pay for petrol. Despite the massive climate impact of aviation, the sector continues to dodge taxation that is applied to other forms of transport fuels, such as for cars. Transport & Environment (T&E) UK suggests introducing a fair equivalent that would tax the 11mn tonnes of kerosene consumed by planes taking off from the UK in 2023 and could bring in between £400m and £5.9bn a year in revenue.
