Oil Heat In the News: Biofuels Will Help Lower CO2, Temps

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration  (NASA) released a global temperature analysis that shows 2016 is on track to be one of the hottest years on record (surpassing 2014 and 2015). Data showed that the average global temps in the first six months of the year were Celsius 1.3 degrees hotter than the pre-industrial era. These readings contrast sharply with the main aim of the Paris Agreement: to keep global temperature rise “well below” 2 degrees Celsius, with an aspirational target of 1.5 degrees Celsius, above pre-industrial levels this century.

“It is clear that changes to the global climate are occurring faster than was predicted when the timelines for the negotiations at COP21 were established,” Baker added. “The potential for the increased use of biofuels in the global transport sector, using the existing fleet of cars and fuel infrastructure, represents exactly the kind of immediate action to achieve emissions reductions that is demanded by these changing circumstances.”
