Gasoline Has Its Own Upstream Emissions

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:19:46 GMT

Most of the electricity used to power battery electric vehicles (BEVs) is generated by power plants that burn fossil fuels, producing upstream greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change. When ordinary people estimate the environmental impact of the various light duty powertrains, many assume that the upstream emissions created by BEVs are roughly equivalent to the tailpipe emissions of internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs). Experts who carefully quantify vehicle emissions disagree with this intuitive misconception, which grossly underestimates the extraordinary volume of ICEV tailpipe emissions and fails to account for the significant upstream emissions associated with the production and distribution of gasoline. Before a gallon of gas is pumped into an ICEV’s tank, it has already generated a sizable quantity of carbon dioxide.The International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) is a highly respected authority on the decarbonization of the transportation se...
