Figure 3 reports several values concerning the Life Cycle Analysis of GHG emissions from electricity generation technologies. he difference between fossil fuels and RES is extremely significant. In this study an average value obtained by values reported in Figure 3 is chosen for the fossil fuels: ECDOIL = 824 gCO2eq/kWh, ECDCOAL = 1149 gCO2eq/kWh and ECDGAS = 568 gCO2eq/kWh.
Compared to traditional internal combustion engines cars, which are powered solely by diesel or unleaded gasoline, the electricity for EV charging can be generated from various energy sources—conventional (e.g., lignite, coal, natural gas) and renewable (e.g., biomass, biogas, solar energy, wind energy, hydro energy).
The results shown in Figure 5 revealed that for the Polish case study, charging batteries with electricity from the mains may be more harmful to the environment than using ICE cars.
Electricity consumption also has a significant impact on the environmental performance of electric cars. The EV with high electricity consumption may turn out to be less eco-friendly than standard ICE cars.
Among the analyzed classes, this is the case in the City class, where indirect emission, assuming battery charging from the grid, is higher (3.17 kgCO2∙day−1) than direct emission of diesel (2.70 kgCO2∙day−1) and lower than direct emission of gasoline cars (3.30 kgCO2∙day−1).
Among the analyzed energy sources, the highest MREC-CO2 emission is characterized by solid biomass (1440 kgCO2∙MWh−1). However, in this case, the overall balance of carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere is zero or insignificant, due to the equivalent amount of carbon dioxide absorbed by biomass during the plant’s growing phase.
The results show that the average indirect CO2-equvalent emissions for the selected electric vehicle model were 92 gram CO2 per kilometer (vs. Diesel 163.87+).

Well done Europe, start to create sanctions against 🇷🇺 Russia. Then cry because you have energy issues. How to fix that? Replacing that with coal! WTF!
Nuclear energy is low-carbon, but not renewable. The fuel source divides EU countries, with Austria and Luxembourg firmly opposed, while others including Germany are phasing out their reactors and countries including Denmark and Ireland are nuclear-free https://perma.cc/PB6G-LN46
It's possible that EU countries are not able to use the brain, like Switzerland is trying to do a bit

Instead of removing nuclear now, do it once you know that you have no energy issue at all!
Avoid idiot sanctions that just create more pollution!
Energia: elettricità dal carbone, +82% in Italia nel 2022 https://perma.cc/LZQ6-ETVC
Il caro energia spinge al ribasso i consumi in Italia. Ma le emissioni di CO2 aumentano https://perma.cc/QR5W-Q7X6
El carbón representa el 27% de la energía primaria mundial que se necesita y genera el 41% de la electricidad del mundo. Su producción mundial aumenta año a año como se refleja en el siguiente gráfico https://perma.cc/6ST4-FMXS
En España, el carbón (+43,3%) y el gas (+20,6%) fueron las energías que más elevaron su producción de electricidad. Esto no queda muy verde https://perma.cc/C788-GB6U
Kohle im Jahr 2022 weiterhin wichtigster Energieträger für die Stromerzeugung in Deutschland: 8,4 % mehr Kohlestrom ins Netz eingespeist als 2021 https://perma.cc/R2WQ-Y4RL
Europa quiere resucitar las centrales térmicas de carbón: se abre la puerta a que vuelvan a recibir pagos por capacidad durante 5 años https://perma.cc/2C7V-M4VY
En Europe, la demande de charbon a bondi de 8% l'an dernier https://perma.cc/D8R2-NBKU
Die Kohle spielt in der Schweiz keine Rolle https://perma.cc/X8QJ-BV6N

Each of these seven countries is a major consumer of natural gas, and the pro- portion of energy consumption accounted for by natural gas has increased relatively quickly in each case. Of these, four countries are developed countries: the United States, Japan, Germany and the United Kingdom. There are also three emerging countries: Malaysia, Turkey and Egypt.
In 2015, China’s energy consumption will reach 4 billion tons of standard coal. By 2020, non-renewable energy consumption will be controlled at around 4.8 billion tons of standard coal, with total standard coal consumption con- trolled at around 3.0 billion tons, a drop of 62.5% in the proportion of total energy consumption.
Conversion from coal to gas is mainly encountered in Europe, Australia and the United States.
China’s intentions are that CO2 emissions should peak by around 2030 and work should be carried out to try to achieve this peak sooner. Planning outlines include 2030 non-fossil fuel energy sources rising to account for around 20% of primary energy source consumption.
