Remove Your car’s Carbon Emissions

Offset your car's CO2 emissions for 3 years with a Carbon Credit Foundation Preservation Title. The average European car emits about five tons of CO2 per year and each hectare of primary rainforest retain approximately 15 tons of CO2 . So this is a fifteen ton package.

Passenger cars contribute to 12% of man-made CO2 in Europe, according to 2004 figures from the European Commission concerning the EU-25. The share of transport is 26%, of energy plants 39%, of industry 16% and of households 19%. According www.transportenvironment.org, the European Union is committed under the Kyoto Protocol of the United Nations Convention on Climate Change to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 8 per cent by 2008-2012 compared to the 1990 level. This is a first step towards the EU objective of limiting man-induced global warming to 2 degrees Celsius. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the most important greenhouse gas. Emissions of CO2 are directly linked to fuel consumption. Burning a kg of petrol, diesel, kerosene and the like in a car, van, lorry, aircraft or ship leads to approximately 3.15 kg of CO2emissions. 

The role of transport

Transport is the worst performing sector under ‘Kyoto’ and seriously jeopardizes the achievement of the Kyoto targets. Transport CO2 emissions in the EU grew by 32% between 1990 and 2004. The share of transport in CO2 emissions was 21% in 1990, but by 2004 this had grown to 28%1.Emissions from so-called ‘light duty vehicles’ (passenger cars and vans) are responsible for approximately half of this. The oil used to power the wheels of cars and vans also greatly increases the EU’s oil import dependence, that currently stands at 80 per cent and is rising. At € 55 a barrel, cars and vans cost the EU and extra €92 billions of oil imports – almost the size of the EU budget and twice the amount the EU spends on development aid.. All these figures would come down considerably if cars and vans were made more fuel efficient, something that would automatically follow from stricter CO2 limits. 

140 g/km of CO2 on average for new cars by 2008/9

In 1996, the EU’s Member States and the European Parliament approved a ‘Community Strategy to reduce CO2 emissions from passenger cars’. The strategy’s objective is to reduce the average CO2 emissions of newly sold passenger cars in the EU to 120 grams per kilometre by 2005, or 2010 at the latest. The 120 g/km target represents a 35% reduction over 1995 levels. As CO2 is directly linked to fuel consumption, we can say that the 120 g/km target corresponds to a fuel consumption of 5 litres per 100 km for petrol cars and 4.5 litres per 100 km for diesel cars, to be measured on the official European driving cycle.  

Results

Only three of 20 car brands, Fiat, Citroen and Renault are on track to meet the 140 g/km commitment. Ford and Peugeot are almost on track. Fiat has already achieved the 140 g/km objective.
