Transition to Electric Vehicles
Summary
Many European and Scandinavian countries are well advanced in the planning for, and uptake of electric vehicles especially passenger cars as a strategy to reduce carbon emissions. Australia is a relative laggard, but there are signs things are changing, with several makes of passenger car now available and public charging infrastructure slowly expanding. Governments at state and federal level are beginning to address the policy and financial aspects of transitioning away from fossil fuel powered vehicles.
Calculating supply chain emissions of your project with the ECE Tool
Whilst accounting for emissions from petrol/fuel use, purchased electricity, heat or steam are quite clearly defined, accounting for supply chain impacts, also known as Scope 3 emissions is more problematic – it requires an analysis that extends back through many stages of the upstream supply chain.
Engineers nail climate risk
A workshop of 120 engineers voted at the World Engineers Conference 2019 (WEC 2019) in Melbourne last week (Nov 20 - Nov 22) that there is a climate emergency.
The risk of dangerous climate change of 1 in 5, is almost one hundred thousand times higher than an acceptable engineering risk.
The possible consequences of climate change include extreme weather, severe water shortages, social breakdown and ecosystem collapse.
