Globally, domestic aviation was responsible for emitting 287,000,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide in 2010, according to an IPCC report. Looking at this in more detail, a Boeing 737 would burn approximately 5 tonnes of jet fuel on a 2 hour flight, resulting in 15 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions.
The Government of B.C. recently announced funding for the CleanBC Heavy-duty Vehicle Efficiency Program. This is a great development that will drive the transition to a sustainable economy, help commercial truck drivers spend less on fuel and potentially increase the use of local energy resources.
