“…Fossil-fueled vehicles strongly contribute to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (e.g., $18% of global CO 2 emissions in 2019), and impose significant burdens on the environment (e.g., air pollution), and human health (e.g., lung cancer, asthma). [1][2][3][4] With global vehicles expected to triple by 2050, their GHG emissions would increase faster than any other sources. 5 SCIENCE FOR SOCIETY Electric vehicles (EVs) have multiple advantages over conventional vehicles, from improving air quality to enhancing energy efficiency, and are thus an important tool in global efforts to transition toward global decarbonization.…”

“…The energy consumption of small quadcopter drones is comparable to the most energy efficient modes of last-delivery when the total mass of delivery is not the main feature considered. For example, in delivery situations where small and light items with high added value, such as small electronics and medicines, drones might became a competitive tool to reduce transportation emissions in large urban centers [39]. In these scenarios, we found that drones can reduce the energy consumption by 96% and 60% and GHG emissions by 91% and 59% per package delivered by replacing diesel trucks and electric vans, respectively.…”

The adoption of Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for last-mile deliveries will affect the energy productivity of package delivery and require new methods to understand the associated energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Here we combine empirical testing of 187 quadcopter flights with first principles analysis to develop a usable energy model for drone package delivery. We develop a machine learning algorithm to assess energy use across three different flight regimes: takeoff, cruise, and landing. Our model shows that, in the US, a small electric quadcopter drone with a payload of 1 kg would consume approximately 0.05 MJ/km and result in 41 g of CO2e per package. The energy per package delivered by drones (0.19 MJ/package) can be up to 96% lower than conventional transportation modes. Our open model and generalizable coefficients can assist stakeholders in understanding and improving the energy use of drone package delivery.

“…First, carbon emission reduction in the automobile industry can be realized by optimizing the structure of the energy industry. For example, the share of clean energy can be steadily increased [65]. At the same time, the development of electric vehicles and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles should be taken into account in the future to increase the consumption of renewable energy.…”

China has already committed to peaking carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2060 (referred to as the 30·60 Target), which has brought both daunting challenges and great opportunities to the automobile industry in China. However, there is still a lack of comprehensive and in-depth studies on the challenges, paths, and strategies for reducing carbon emissions to fulfill the 30·60 Target in automobile industries. Therefore, this paper proposes low-carbon development strategies for China’s automobile industry. This study’s method is to integrate the results from different literature to summarize the status, challenges, opportunities, and refine the coping strategies for carbon emission of the automobile industry. The results indicated that the paths for achieving the 30·60 Target include joint carbon emission reduction by upstream and downstream enterprises inside the industry. It also needs cross-industry and cross-sector coordinated decarbonization outside the industry. Meanwhile, the low-carbon policy and regulation system should be established to provide a direct driving force and fundamental guarantee for the low-carbon development of China’s automobile industry.
