50% reduction in gasoline use, 80% reduction in emissions by 2050 possible in US
﻿Scientists at Wisconsin Energy Institute (WEI) and collaborators from the Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center (GLBRC), have analysed﻿ 27 different scenarios to see which were the best to achieve an 80% reduction in US﻿ carbon emissions. According to the data, several scenarios achieved a 50% reduction in gasoline across the US, and three achieved an 80% reduction in emissions by 2050. The report concluded that the best pathway for carbon reductions were ﻿from﻿:﻿ a large adoption of electric vehicles across US highways; large scale biofuel production; and a change in the habits of the US drivers.
