Eurostat estimates that in 2016 carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuel combustion decreased by 0.4% in the European Union (EU), compared with the previous year. CO2 emissions are a major contributor to global warming and account for around 80% of all EU greenhouse gas emissions. Also on this topic, EuCheMS President Prof. David Cole-Hamilton, has recently published an opinion article in The Scotsman entitled Emissions Cut is Win-Win.
