Thirty-two Years (and counting) of Failure in Lowering Transportation’s Emissions.

For 32 years since the first UNFCCC in 1992 humankind is officially committed to mitigate Climate Change by phasing out fossil fuels as our energy source and replace them with renewables. Despite a staggering 661-fold increase in Solar and Wind energy generation and an overall 285% increase in renewable energy generation, and vast stretches of land and sea covered with renewable power plants and grids, fossil fuel use is still on the rise, and the global temperature is still increasing, now at an accelerated rate.

That is because the global energy demand increase outpaced the renewables growth. As World population is set to continue growing, along with its insatiable need for well-being enhancement, the energy demand will continue to increase for at least 7 decades from now on.

Transportation along its supply chain is the main contributor to these failures, and so far, it shows no sign of reducing emissions.

The plan to forcefully and swiftly replace 1.6 billion combustion vehicles worldwide with electric ones will start by significantly boosting emission related to their manufacturing and the energy generation to keep them in motion for about 3-5 decades. In other words, emissions from transportation will not be reduced but shifted to Power Supply and Industry.

This transition will also come with an atrocious environmental degradation, industrial pollution, and resource depletion associated to manufacturing the EVs and their renewable infrastructure.

The only chance to put an end to fossil fuels is to kill their demand, by superseding ICE cars with other alternatives that better meet our mobility-related needs, while being far more energy-efficient and having a smaller environmental footprint, both at the point of use and across their entire supply chain.

This is where Nymbel comes into play providing a transportation system that’s faster, safer, more comfortable and more affordable than electric cars with trips having an 80% smaller eco-footprint, and that eco-footprint not only refers to life-cycle emissions but also to environmental destruction, pollution, and resource depletion related to powering, manufacturing, and shipping the vehicles across the world.

Its energy, resources, space, and time efficiency makes it far more affordable and easier to scale worldwide contributing to a global rather than local mitigation of Climate Change and other intertwined crises.
